As the saying goes, "Adults look forward to farming, children look forward to the New Year." What children think about is their own "New Year's money".
New Year's money, also known as pressing money, is distributed by elders to younger generations. After the New Year's Eve dinner, the elders prepare the New Year's money in advance and distribute it to the younger generation when the rooster crows for the first time. It is said that the New Year's money can suppress evil spirits, so that the younger generation can spend the first year safely.
New Year's money was not a currency in the market at first, but a coin-shaped anti-evil product for wearing and enjoying. This kind of specially made New Year's money appeared in the Han Dynasty. At that time, it was called pressing money, or big pressing money. On the front of this kind of wearing object, there are characters on coins and various auspicious words, such as "long live forever", "peace in the world", "removing disasters and eliminating evil", etc.; on the back are cast various patterns, such as dragon and phoenix, turtle and snake, double fish , Sword Fighting, Star Dou and so on.
In the Tang Dynasty, the style of loose money in spring prevailed in the court. At that time, the Spring Festival was the "Lichun Day", a day for worshiping each other in the palace, but there was no such custom among the people. "Zizhi Tongjian" records that Concubine Yang gave birth to a son, "Xuanzong personally looked at it, and was happy to give the concubine gold and silver money for washing the child". The child laundering money mentioned here is not only congratulations, but more importantly, it is the amulet given by the elders to the newborn to avoid evil and demons.
After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the first day of the first lunar month replaced the first day of spring, which was called the Spring Festival. The custom that originally belonged to the beginning of spring has also been moved to the Spring Festival. The custom of loosening money in spring has evolved into the custom of giving lucky money to children.
Ordinary people pay more attention to the rules of giving lucky money to children: generally, they will give according to the age of the child. For example, if the child is 7 years old, then the elders will generally give him 7 copper coins, and if he is 10 years old, he will usually give him 10 copper coins, but it can be done in one year. Receive 2 times, one is Chinese New Year, the other is during the winter solstice.
[1] "Big Night" comes to the swan. Poetry
It's all about the emptiness,
Thousands of miles of lovesickness overnight.
Worrying to the point where the sound of the rooster ceases to sound,
Will be haggard again to see the spring breeze.
A cock crow broke Liu Haohao's deep longing for her lover.
But Xiao Liuyi immediately jumped down from Ruyan's embrace, he hurriedly ran to Liu Haohao's side, knelt on the ground and bowed, and said deftly with his little mouth: "Mother, mother, Happy New Year; red envelope , red envelope, take one thousand."
Liu Haohao was taken aback for a moment, then happily took out a big red envelope and put it on Liu Yi's raised little hand, but said angrily: "Who taught this, isn't it Ruyan?" Smiling, he said again, "Ruyan, Ruyan, why don't you teach him to order~"
Xiao Liuyi picked up the red envelope, got up immediately, and hurriedly unwrapped the red envelope, but he couldn't read, so he handed it to his daughter-in-law Liu Ruyan to check, and asked, "Is it one thousand?"
Liu Haohao scolded: "Little money fan, white-eyed wolf, married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother."
Liu Ji thought to himself: For a family like Liu Haohao, it is not difficult to give a child a thousand copper coins, but what he never expected was that the red envelope contained a thousand taels of silver notes.
Liu Ruyan put the banknote into her arms, and went over to give Liu a good New Year greeting: "Mother, Happy New Year, I must have a red envelope!"
"It's really 'it's not a family, don't enter the family'¡ªa pair of money lovers!" Liu Haohao handed Ruyan another red envelope of the same size.
Seeing the distribution of red envelopes, a group of people in the room paid homage to Liu Haohao for the New Year one after another. Except for the accompaniment and serving maids, each of whom was ten taels of silver, the rest were big red envelopes of one thousand taels of silver, including Yan Ru Nu and Liu Kai.
Liu Ji looked a little surprised, why is Liu Haohao so rich?
Thinking of where the group of them went, the managers and owners of the local restaurants would respect her especially when they saw her, and wondered: Could it be that she is the boss behind these restaurants? At the very least, she has shares in these restaurants However, the manager of the restaurant is from Qipin, why does she always call herself a "lower official" when she sees Liu Haohao? Could it be that she is temporarily employed in the provincial government
Seeing that they all had red envelopes, Liu Ji said with a playful smile, "Sister-in-law, why don't you have my red envelopes?"
"Did you wish me New Year's greetings?"
"I'll bow now, I'll bow now Shall I kowtow to you too?" He said as if he was going to kneel and kowtow.
Liu Haohao hurriedly pulled him up and said, "You knocked it off, but you have no money!"
"Why?"
"You are much older than me, how can I give you a red envelope for the New Year? You have to give me the New Year's money."
"Although I am older than you, I am younger than him. Didn't you hear me calling you sister-in-law?"
"When did you become younger than him? Aren't you one year older than him?"
"I'm talking about Mr. Wang"
"He~, on such a happy day, I don't allow you to mention him!"
"It's okay not to mention it, the eighth son of Wang's mansion.Sometimes when I look in the mirror and see that my face has changed, I can't help but sigh
On the morning of the fifth day, Liu Ji told her to go to the river to have a look, the willow branches had sprouted.
The grass on the river bank is luxuriant, and the willow trees on the river bank are shady. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Liu Haohao thought to himself sadly, why do you add new worries every year?
She stood alone at the head of the small bridge, with the breeze blowing her sleeves. Only the rows of trees in the distance, shadowy in the dim moonlight, accompanied her.
[5] "Autumn Ruixiang. The curtain is sparse and windy" by Zhang Lei. Ci
The curtains are sparse and windy, and a scent of golden beasts floats in the air.
After Zhu Lan leaned against the dusk, the moonlight on the porch was like the day.
The taste of parting is stronger than that of wine, making people thinner.
This feeling is not as good as the willow on the wall, and the spring is as old every year.
On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Huazheng came to Yan Runu's elegant and beautiful boudoir to say goodbye to her.
The outdoor wind blows into the curtain, and a line of cigarettes floats from the incense burner.
Huazheng said: "If we break up again and meet again, we will never know when."
Yan Runu said: "You, take me away!"
As Liu Haohao's servant, how could Huazheng have such power, he could only shake his head and sigh
At the reception banquet on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Haohao said that he would take Yan Runu with him. But that day, Yan Runu was so drunk that he didn't know it; when Liu Haohao said this, Hua Zheng happened to go to the latrine again, so he didn't hear it. After that, Liu Haohao never mentioned it again.
Hua stayed in Yan Runu's boudoir for more than an hour, exchanging heart and soul Finally, he reluctantly bid farewell.
Yan Runu sent him out of the room.
It was dusk, Yan Runu looked at his leaving back with tears in his eyes. She leaned on the red railing, the crescent moon on the porch had already come out, it was like a hook, hooked away her heart and soul
[6] Xue Daoheng. Poem
It has only been seven days since the beginning of spring, and it has been two years since I left home.
After the man returns to the geese, his thoughts are before the flowers.
On the morning of the seventh day, Liu Haohao and others were about to leave Langzhou.
Niu Jingting, the general manager of "Langzhou Restaurant", led a group of people to see him off. But the carriage stopped and didn't go away, as if it was waiting for someone. Above the head, the wild geese returning from the north were urging.
At this time, I saw Yan Runu hurried over with a small package in his hand, and happily got into Liu Haohao's big carriage. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
