New Year is , it’s the New Year, on the occasion of the Spring Festival. The editor wishes you a healthy, safe, harmonious and beautiful new year, a career, a prosperous family, and a prosperous blessing!

It’s the New Year. When several colleagues left behind in the office were having dinner together during the Spring Festival, they talked about the New Year customs of their hometown. As we chatted, we found that some New Year customs were very interesting, such as being able to grow taller by holding a big tree, not being able to cut hair in the first month of the year, and having to beat children on New Year's Eve... These New Year customs were a bit deceptive, not only when we were young, but even today, many people still believe them consciously or unconsciously.

So the editor invited some colleagues and friends to talk to you about the New Year customs that "defrauded" us.

Colleague A Hebei Qinhuangdao The stubborn girl holding a big tree

When I was a child, during the Chinese New Year, the whole family had to gather together to eat and play mahjong. When the children get together, in addition to playing and playing, there is also an indispensable activity, which is to compare height. Standing together, you are taller than me, I am a little shorter than you. The tall one naturally smiled, the short one might pout, and the uncles next to them would make a few jokes.

I am the one I am laughed at by my uncles every year. Once, my second uncle told me that as long as I find the largest tree and hug it, I will definitely grow taller next year. I, who was young and ignorant, believed it so much. I still remember how thick that big tree was, I couldn't hold it even if I opened my hands, but I still tried my best to hold it for a long time.

Of course, in the end, I am still the shortest one every year. I go to hug the big tree every year, but it is still only 1.5 meters away.

Now I'm open to it, after all...

Colleague B Chongqing·Dianjiang We all love my uncle

I was also young back then, and my mother said that I can't cut my hair in the first month of the year, otherwise I would not be very friendly to my uncle. So every time I go to the barber shop to cut my hair before the New Year. Then I found that there were so many people cutting their hair before the Chinese New Year, and they were just shoulder to shoulder. I think everyone should still love my uncle quite.

Friend C Hunan Zhuzhou I might have picked it up

When I was a child, I was particularly afraid of the New Year because there was a very strange New Year custom in my hometown. On New Year's Eve, children must be beaten. It is said that you can "pass it, pass it", and you can make a fortune. I always think this is unreliable and it is definitely impossible to be true, but my mother has always believed in it. Every year, she hopes to fulfill her dream of getting rich overnight by hitting me and my brother.

Although some people say that it is just that my mother simply wants to hit me, I still believe she loves me.

It's okay, I'm already grown up now and can finally get rid of "passing". My wife will give birth in a few months. As for whether the custom of "passing away" should be passed on, it depends on his future performance.

Colleague D Sichuan Neijiang I have a grandma who loves to pick up firewood

My family used to go out to pick up firewood and put it under the bed during the Chinese New Year. My grandma said that this way I will have good fortune next year. Now that they have moved into the city and moved into the building, grandma still maintains this habit. Although the floor at home is sometimes dirty, it is hard for us to talk about her as an old man. Silently sweep the house and pray again by the way, you must make a fortune next year!

As for whether my family has made a fortune, it is not convenient to disclose this. I can only tell you that I will go to HaiLan Home twice a year.

Friends E Hunan Xiangxi I have a kind of fear of the New Year’s Eve dinner

Our New Year’s Eve dinner is in the early morning. The most painful thing every year during the Chinese New Year is that I sleep until two or three o'clock, and my parents called me up to have the New Year's Eve dinner. I was really sleepy and had a slutty New Year’s Eve dinner. So don’t ask me what I ate for the New Year’s Eve dinner, because I don’t know either.

Oh, by the way, the New Year’s Eve dinners are two, the early morning of New Year’s Eve and the early morning of the first lunar month…

You need some ritual sense

Although some New Year customs are deceptive, they are even like a "sweeping little fairy". But in fact, this is all the taste of the New Year, expressing a kind of good wishes for future life. If you think this is nonsense, you can ignore it at all. However, during the Chinese New Year, there are some such sayings and customs. Do they have a more Chinese atmosphere? After all, it’s customs for the New Year! Life still requires some sense of ritual, not to mention the New Year.

Moreover, the editor thinks that these seemingly weird and even deceptive New Year customs have also added some joyful atmosphere to the New Year. Just imagine, during the Chinese New Year, we don’t hold our mobile phones to grab red envelopes, but sit together and chat and make jokes; while picking up firewood, makes wishes ; tease the cute little baby, this is the happy New Year! Just thinking about it, I want to go home for another three years!
