You know how "year" comes
The noise of the firecrackers is fading, the joy of visiting friends and friends is slowly ending, and the spring season is coming to an end. In reunification and laughter, when we say “years later”, very few of us ask: what happened to this thousand-year holiday with the chinese, the year hidden in fireworks
With regard to the origins of the year, the most widespread is folk myths. In ancient times, a fierce monster known as “years” has long horns, brutal sexual feelings and has been in the deep sea for many years, climbing ashore every night to the 30th of the month, destroying crops and harming human beings. This terrible night is known as the “years pass”, at which point the old and the young flee to the mountains。
One year on new year's eve, a white-haired man came to the village and told the villagers that “years” were the most afraid of red, fire and bangs. As a result, red paper and red lights were placed on the door, a fire was set on the compound, and the burning of the bamboo festival exploded, and the “years” ran away. In the early morning hours of the following day, families opened their doors and celebrated each other's safe passage through the year, which was the basis for the year. Later, red paper became a spring union, with the slashing of bamboo into fireworks, and the custom of age-keeping, red-red and cannon-laying was passed on from generation to generation, making it the most popular symbol of spring festival。
And in terms of words and history, the meaning of the year is much warmer than myths. The words “years” in oracle, which is the face of a man carrying a ripe thong, are written in “years, years, years are ripe”. In an old farming society, the ancient people had known grains for one year, and the “year” had initially been a symbol of harvest and an expectation of a smooth wind and a fifth valley. The calendar emerged during the summer period, when people set the month in four seasons, and the first year of life was marked by a grand sacrifice, thanks to the heavens and the earth, and to the fathers, praying for a year to come. This was the birth of spring。
By the time of handai, the day of the nativity had been officially established as the first day of the month, and the time for the spring festival had been fixed. In the following millenniums, spring festivals have been integrating local folklore, from mere sacrifice and celebration of the harvest, to grand festivals of conglomeration, prayer and renewal. I'll give you some money. These practices carry with them the love of the chinese family, the desire for peace and the blessing of the future。
Today, the atmosphere of spring festival is fading, but the culture and emotion of the year has never faded. It's not just a legend of a monster, it's not just a time node, it's a reunion ritual carved into the bones of the chinese, it's a cultural legacy that transcends the millennium。
The years will be light, but the affections will continue; the festival will end, but the desire for a better life will never end. Knowing the origins of the year, we can appreciate each and every gathering, bearing in mind the romance and warmth that belong to the chinese alone。
