Time flies so fast, and it’s almost the New Year in a blink of an eye. As people say, life is about opening and closing your eyes. Once you close your eyes and then open them again, the day has passed. If you can’t open them, your life has passed.

It's already nine o'clock when I wake up in the morning. It's not that I'm lazy, but that everything is fine when winter comes in the north. The days are short, so when I get up at 1 o'clock, the sun comes out and the house is warm. I get up and make ready-made dumpling wrappers and stuffings, and wash my face.

Sitting together making dumplings.

Actually, I don’t know when, but I feel that the Chinese New Year has become less and less festive. It’s not like when I was a child, I looked forward to getting lucky money and delicious food during the New Year.

I remember there is also a few sentences that are like a children's song and a folk ballad. When I tell you, all the readers must have heard it: "Children, don't be greedy, after Laba Festival, it will be the New Year. Laba porridge, in a few days, it will be twenty."

3. Twenty-three, kill the pig; twenty-four, write a couplet; twenty-five, sweep the dust; twenty-six, cut off the new year's meat; twenty-seven, slaughter the new year's chicken; twenty-eight, cut the window grilles; twenty

Ninth, get your hair done; have a night of fun on New Year's Eve."

I remember that I always lived like this when I was a child. No matter whether it was a warehouse or something, everything was lit with lights, and the yard was also connected with lights, so it was brightly lit at night.

I asked my grandma why the lights were lit. Grandma told me that during the Chinese New Year, when hundreds of gods descended to the underworld, the lights were turned on to guide them, and they would go to whose house the lights were on. She also said that the places where the lights did not shine were so dark because there were ghosts, which scared me.

I dare not go out and put flowers.

There is the big year and the small year. The big year is the day when the New Year is defeated, and the small year is the day when the Stove Lord goes to heaven. I remember when I was a child, when the small year was over, my grandma would throw candy into the stove kang. It made me unhappy, and grandma said this

Let the Kitchen God speak sweetly to the Jade Emperor.

And I have to recite the previous paragraph: Lord Stove, whose real surname is Zhang, rides a horse and carries a gun, and goes to the west to see the Jade Emperor. May every year be good and strong every year. Every year, we can earn tens of thousands of stones of food. May our family be rich and prosperous. God

Saying good things will bring good luck to the earth.

During the New Year, we kowtow to our elders, and the elders give lucky money to younger generations. This lucky money still has a history! I watched a program where an expert and scholar explained the new year's money and quoted from other sources. Unfortunately, my mouth went dry after listening to these self-righteous experts and scholars.

I have always thought that folklore is superstition.

Anyway, I am not an expert. I have a story here, which is different from the one on Baidu. I heard it in a nursing home and I will tell it to relieve your boredom.

Legend has it that there is a little demon named Chou, who is good friends with Nian. But everyone knows that Nian is a cannibal. Later, Du Kang made wine and used 9981 jars of aged wine to get Nian and Chou drunk, who came to eat people.

The two brothers were so dizzy that they forgot about eating people.

But when wine comes to sober up, the two of them sober up once every 365 days. This time you will know that it is one year. Every year on New Year's Day, people stay behind closed doors because the New Year is coming to arrest people and take them back.

After drinking, Sui didn't have any offensive power, so he stayed at home and waited for the New Year to come back.

The Stove Lord saw people's sufferings in his eyes, but his rank was too low to soar to the sky. What should he do? The Stove Lord thought of a way to let people light fires on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month and ride the smoke by themselves.

Report it to the Jade Emperor.

After the Jade Emperor knew about this, he sent a god to subdue Nian. Nian was subdued. As a brother, Sui felt very uncomfortable. Who would bring him food and wine? Sui felt resentful in his heart, so every day

On New Year's Eve, he also went down the mountain. Since he couldn't catch anyone, he secretly patted the heads of children in the village.

If a child is touched too much, he will develop a fever until he is burned into a fool. People have just missed the New Year, and this time a ghost comes, but no one can do anything about it. They have to stay up and stay awake on the night of New Year's Eve every year.

child.

There was an old couple who had a son. It was so rare that they held it in their hands for fear of falling and held it in their mouths for fear of melting. On New Year's Eve, the old couple kept vigil all night. In order to prevent the child from falling asleep, they gave it to him.

The child plays with a copper coin, but the child still sleeps

When the child was pregnant, the old couple put the money under the pillow. A gust of wind blew open the door, and a black hand with white fingers stretched out. Just as they were about to touch the child's head, the child turned over and pushed the pillow to the floor.

, the copper coin also fell to the ground.

The copper coins fell on the ground and suddenly rolled bigger and bigger, forcing the evil spirit to the ground and unable to move. When the old couple saw that the evil spirit was trapped, they went to the outhouse to get a fire stick to beat him, but they accidentally broke the fire stick.

, and let the evil spirit run away. The next day, the old couple gave this method to the villagers, and it spread more and more. Slowly, the money given to the evil spirit became lucky money.

Wrapping dumplings, but no matter how I make them, I don’t have the same feeling I had when I was a child. Maybe this is the trouble of growing up! No wonder some people always sing "Don’t Want to Grow Up" when singing. When I was a child, I always envied growing up, but when I grow up, all kinds of things happen.

The pressure is on! Oh, is this life?

I had dinner, was bored, and went to bed again. I was destined not to let up tonight. Anyway, I had two meals, so I had plenty of time. I won’t list the other processes, but just in the evening, I had the New Year’s Eve dinner.

I made an excuse to go to the fat man's house. The second aunt and the others refused to say anything, saying that they had everything on New Year's Eve and they would offend the shameless people.

I tried my best to go, but they couldn't do anything. They asked me to hold a flashlight to illuminate it. In fact, this thing was of no use to me. I secretly put the flashlight back and got dressed and equipped alone.

, start setting off!

The Chinese New Year is really not a joke. When I came out, I didn’t see the gods. The streets were full of ghosts, and there were all kinds of ghosts. It was like going to a fair. I walked past them bravely, and some of them even rushed at me.

They were grinning, and some even floated in front of me and made signs in front of my eyes. If I didn't want to cause trouble, I would slap you to death.

The scene during this New Year's Day is much bigger than that on July 15th. There are ghosts and ghosts all over the sky. They are still shackled, some are still wearing crutches, and some are disabled. How can these people just come out of hell? The whole thing is

We are good citizens of a harmonious society now!

I walked towards the dam, and there were ghosts along the way. Looking into the distance, there were still some ghosts in the tombs, and they seemed to be cleaning the courtyard. Occasionally, ghosts passed me by on this remote road, which made me very nervous.

He lowered his head and walked forward without even looking.

"Hey! What are you doing?" a girl asked.

When I turned around, a gust of wind blew by, and it turned out to be a ghost playing with me and blowing out the lamp. This ghost had a gloomy face and wanted to scare me. If I was still afraid of you before, now you are asking for trouble!

But I wasn't in the mood to pay attention to him, so I continued walking forward.

As I walked, I realized that something was wrong. I was actually surrounded. A circle of ghosts surrounded me. It looked like they were about to fight. If I lost my hair, why don’t you treat me like a lion? I pulled out my sword: "

If you want to live, get out of the way!"

But these guys obviously didn't want to give way. Just as I was about to repel them, suddenly a light flashed in the sky and knocked all these ghosts aside. When I saw it, it was actually Hu Xian. It seemed that they really repaid their kindness! I

I smiled at them and continued to walk forward. The dam was right in front of me. I stood on the dam, and the cold wind blew so hard that my face felt like it had been cut by a knife. I took out the wine and took two sips. It was still the same Erguotou.

It's so powerful, it warms you up after drinking it.

There was a loud noise in the sky in the southwest, and a burst of colorful light shot down. A group of immortals descended from the sky. Among the many qi, I felt the familiar qi. Sure enough, he arrived as promised! I found that I was holding the sword in my hand.
