Due to different customs in the north and south, the day called "Little New Year" is also different. The traditional folk festival of the Little New Year (the day for cleaning the house and worshiping the kitchen god) is on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. In most parts of the south, the tradition of celebrating the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is still maintained. What is the difference between the two?1. Difference in timeOne is on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the other is on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. 2.

Which one is the real Little New Year: the 23rd or the 24th of the 12th lunar month?Whether it is the 23rd or the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, both are real Little New Year's Day. It's just that the regions we passed through are different.However, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is my country's traditional Little New Year, which is mostly celebrated in the southern regions. Before the mid-Qing Dynasty, the Kitchen God Worship Day in the north was also on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. And at least until the Qianlong period, people in the north celebrated the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. For example, in Volume 12 of Qing Jia Lu, "December: The Fourth Night of Nian, Sending Off the Kitchen God," it says: "Common people call the night of the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month the fourth night of Nian, and it is the night that they send off the Kitchen God." Qing Dynasty Unofficial History: Remaining Stories of the Qing Palace also says that during the Qianlong reign, the Kitchen God was worshipped in the Kunning Palace on the night of the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month every year. Starting from the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the imperial family held a ceremony to worship the heaven on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to "save money", they also worshipped the Kitchen God. Therefore, following the example of their superiors, people in the northern region also celebrated the New Year's Eve one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, both the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month are the real Little New Year in my country, but the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is the traditional Little New Year. |
