Dumplings: a feast of folk customs at the end of the new year

Introduction:

"When the whole family get together, the table is full of delicacies; it's really lively to push the cup to change the cup; the heavy feast belongs to dumplings; people and Gods work together on New Year's Eve to celebrate another auspicious year! In Chinese folk custom, new year's Eve ShouSui eat "dumplings", is any delicacies can not be replaced by the first feast. In the Yellow River Basin, the birthplace of Chinese ancestors, it has been handed down for thousands of years. "Jiaozi", also known as "Jiaozi", means the alternation of the old and the new. It is also a great feast to be eaten. Otherwise, God will remove your name from the world of yin and Yang, and you will become a ghost after death. If you think about it, how much our ancestors attached importance to it! In any case, in order to get rid of one year's bad luck, you should have a "dumpling" on New Year's Eve. According to the folk explanation, "New Year's Eve" is the day when people, ghosts and gods fight each other. Therefore, everyone must participate in it in order to achieve the auspicious and safe coming year. Ghost is the "night", it is the world a year of bad luck bred by the generation of ghost. "Xi" on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, when the old and the new turn, will come out to harm the world! At this time, it is necessary for people and gods to work together to get rid of it. On the 30th of December every year, God will send Tongli God Nian to subdue demons and remove ghosts. Nian only has 90% of the ability on New Year's Eve, which proves that the fierce ghost Xi is very powerful. It must be assisted by people to get rid of Xi. Therefore, people should light firecrackers together at the midnight of "New Year's Eve" to help "Nian" get rid of the evil spirits "night" that cause harm to the world. On New Year's Eve, when people eat dumplings, they will add strength to their bodies. Then, men, women, old and young together set off firecrackers to help the God of heaven get rid of the fierce ghosts. Then, piously paste a new portrait of the kitchen god, and offer dumpling based food in front of the portraits of the God of wealth and Kitchen God, which means that the coming year will be peaceful and auspicious, and the wealth will be rolling. This is the origin of the custom of "the sound of firecrackers except the old year". I don't know if Da chaoshao's compilation of this folk story is satisfactory. Of course, there are many explanations. I just want to introduce the most classic part of eating dumplings in addition to the old year. It's true! When my grandfather told me a story, he was very serious! This ghost is all brought by your bad luck in one year. If you don't get rid of it seriously, everything will not go well in the coming year. It's very effective. Remember, that's right, ha ha! I have already listed the menu of the family dinner dishes on New Year's Eve in my diary. These dishes have been introduced in the previous diary. If I write them again, they will be repeated, so I will not repeat them. After the new year's Eve dinner, the family went back to their homes. At home, only my mother and I watched the Spring Festival Gala, making dumplings while watching the festival. I waited for the time to start setting off firecrackers in my yard to help "Nian" get rid of the fierce ghosts, ha ha!
