New Year's Day is a traditional Chinese festival and also the beginning of celebrating the new year. So is New Year's Day 2021 a good day? What are the customs of New Year’s Day? Let’s take a look at the following content!How is New Year’s Day 2021?Lunar calendar: November 18, 2020 Gregorian calendar: January 1, 2021 (Friday)Chinese Zodiac: Gengzi year + Wuzi month + Jiyou day Today's good things according to the old almanac : moving, getting married, moving into new house, getting a marriage certificate, getting engaged, going to school, seeking offspring, receiving wealth, catching, marrying, receiving a betrothal gift, migrating, erecting pillars, planting, fasting and offering sacrifices, and seeking wealth. Things that are taboo in the old almanac today : decoration, opening a business, starting construction, installing beds, traveling, burial, raising the beam, opening a business, tourism, repairing graves, taking up office, breaking ground, building, praying, offering sacrifices, opening markets, taking in livestock, starting drilling, cutting wood, building houses, meridians, and building bridges. What are the customs of New Year’s Day?1. Sweep the dust"On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, dust and sweep the house." According to Lüshi Chunqiu, the custom of sweeping the house during the Spring Festival has existed in my country since the Yao and Shun era. According to folk saying: because "dust" and "old" are homophones, sweeping the dust during the New Year has the meaning of "getting rid of the old and bringing in the new", and its purpose is to sweep away all the bad luck and bad luck. This custom embodies people's desire to break the old and establish the new and their prayers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. 2. Pasting Spring Festival couplets Couplets, also known as Spring Festival couplets, come in many types, but they can be roughly divided into two types: antithetical couplets and spring strips. Each couplet has a horizontal scroll and a "Fu" character, while spring strips such as "May everything go smoothly" are pasted in appropriate places such as doorposts. In fact, because Spring Festival couplets (including antithetical couplets and spring strips) were written by special people (with a brush) in ancient times, they are commonly known as "Spring Festival couplets". However, in Guangdong Province, spring strips are called "Huichun", which is different from Spring Festival couplets, and this is suspected to be a false rumor. The 29th day of the lunar year is to indicate the new year, the new atmosphere, and to add to the festive atmosphere. 3. Setting off firecrackers The sound of firecrackers indicates that the old year has passed and the new year has come. Legend has it that "Nian" was a terrible monster. The purpose of setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year is to scare away the man-eating monster Nian and protect the safety of the family. This also adds a festive and lively atmosphere to New Year's Day. 4. New Year greetings On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household visits relatives and friends to "pay New Year's greetings," which means visiting relatives. When people meet each other, they congratulate each other and say, "Congratulations on your prosperity!" and wish each other success and good health in the new year. |
