As the saying goes, "The wind is different from a hundred miles, and the customs are different from a thousand miles." Every place has its own unique customs and characteristics, and Shunde also has its own unique folk customs and traditions. Do you understand? Then let's continue reading afterwards.The Spring Festival is the most significant traditional festival in Guangdong. The Spring Festival in Shunde also has its own local characteristics.

On the evening of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, according to customs, it is customary to send the Kitchen God to heaven, some of which are called "Xie Zao", "Sending the Kitchen God", or "Sacrificing the Kitchen God". The offerings for sacrificial offerings to the stove are usually a bowl of fried rice, two pieces of sugar, and some fruits. Xie Zao used a large plate with offerings to worship.
Placing flowers is a must-have in every household. At this time, everyone will go to the Spring Flower Market. Most spring flower markets are held from December 28th to New Year's Eve in the lunar calendar. At that time, thousands of people will go to the Flower Street.
On New Year's Eve, our family had a happy reunion dinner. On this night, older children will help "worship the gods". And smaller children would visit and play around, with adults being adults and children being children. At 11 o'clock, it's even more children's world. Each child picked up a shoulder bag and followed the "army" to send the God of Wealth. As soon as we hear someone setting off firecrackers, we immediately search for the sound and quickly find them. After finding it, everyone shouted "The God of Wealth is here!" and rushed into someone else's house in a swarm. While saying auspicious words to others, give them the God of Wealth paper, and they will give you a red envelope. It is said that the more children come to the family, the greater the wealth will be this year.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the morning, adults hurriedly cook their meals. After fasting, some people will come to our homes to pay New Year's greetings.

My family has lived in Shanghai for generations, and Shanghai is my hometown. The Spring Festival in Shanghai is also more unforgettable. And what I love the most is still the sweet dumplings.On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family would make soup dumplings together and watch the Spring Festival Gala. Glutinous rice flour is ready to use. When mixed with water, it is the skin of the dumpling. The slippery skin reminded people of the round soup balls, rolling in boiling water, and the snow-white glutinous rice skin shining brightly in the water. And in the snow-white, there was a faint hint of gray, which was a black and crispy color. The sweet and greasy feeling seemed to have melted in the mouth, giving people an infinite sense of happiness. This is a scene that has captivated generations. (Is this "China on the Tongue"?)
In the turbulent era of my grandfather's life, making and eating glutinous rice balls was simply supreme joy. When the New Year came, the family took out the glutinous rice obtained through hard work for a year and used a huge stone mill to grind glutinous Rice noodles. When grinding, the whole family is helping. The strong adults sweat profusely and grind hard, while the children cannot do heavy work, so they are responsible for pouring glutinous rice into the grinding plate. Glutinous rice usually comes in several bags and is exceptionally heavy. But the children continued to patiently pour spoons into the grinding plate, one by one. It must have been the small, sweet soup balls that gave them amazing strength and patience.
After grinding glutinous rice flour, you can make stuffing. The filling of tangtuan is usually black pastry and bean paste. But what we usually make at home is black pastry filling. Take a small mortar, fill it with a bowl full of black sesame seeds, and use an extremely thick small hammer to continuously pound it, quickly turning it into a bowl of black paste. To give it a sweet taste, add white sugar; To make it sticky, lard is added. It must be a very interesting thing, but unfortunately, at this moment, I cannot experience such an activity. (Actually, this is Ma Ma's childhood memories)
Once you have prepared the dumpling skin and filling, you are about to start wrapping the dumpling. First, pinch the skin into a small bowl shape, use chopsticks to pick up a kneaded "small coal ball", gently put it into the "small bowl", then seal the mouth, knead it into a small ball, and a soup ball is completed. The children went smoothly in the first two steps, but when it came to sealing and rolling, it was a bit embarrassing. Some people have twisted it into long strips of varying thickness, some have squeezed it into ellipses, and even worse, halfway through the rubbing, the seal cracks and all the filling leaks out, leaving all previous efforts to be wasted and forced to start over. But no one cried and instead laughed incessantly. In the end, everyone wrapped up self satisfied soup dumplings. That small, slippery one is extremely comfortable to hold in your hand.
Although nowadays in this fast-paced metropolis, it is difficult to find the scene of the whole family making soup dumplings back then. But I believe that in the hearts of every Shanghainese, there will be such a peaceful scene, because those small, sweet, and smooth soup balls not only contain people's feelings for their hometown, but also the most sincere wish - reunion, happiness and health!

The Spring Festival has arrived, and our entire village has held an annual celebration event - pork head chopping.Picking pig heads is a custom of praying for blessings in our village before the New Year, in order to pray for a better future. Adults need to set up sacrificial items before chopping the pig's head. Firstly, a large pig's head, a big rooster, and a live fish are placed in a large basin. The table is also filled with wine, incense, candles, fruits... People perform a sacrificial ceremony, set off firecrackers, and release the fish. At this point, everyone rushes forward and chops up the pig's head.
The children shouted, "I want chicken legs! I want pig ears!..." The adults then went to battle barehanded, using their powerful hands to accurately "cook the cow", dividing us and delivering it to the children's hands. Of course, before going to battle, they had already washed their hands thoroughly. When the children were satisfied, the adults picked up their wine glasses and celebrated the New Year while drinking and eating pork head.
I like to eat chicken wings, so I also joined the team of tearing meat. I took off a tempting big chicken wing and ate it happily. In the end, everyone ate all the meat and launched a WeChat red envelope. After grabbing the red envelope, everyone celebrated the New Year with joy and laughter! At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "The next house is going to start chopping pig heads!" So I followed the army to the next house and started another round of chopping pig heads... It wasn't until after ten o'clock that it ended. Everyone said good night to each other and went home, and I also followed my family home.
Picking pig heads is my favorite activity of the year. I really hope it will come soon next year so that I can start picking pig heads again.

"Twenty three, celebrate the Spring Festival; Twenty four, sweep the house; Twenty five, grind tofu; Twenty six, buy meat; Twenty seven, stir fry things; Twenty eight, send noodles; Twenty nine, steam Mantou; Thirty days, make dumplings; New Year's Day, celebrate the Spring Festival". The elderly in this mother's hometown would tell their children about the Chinese New Year customs like this.My mother's hometown is in Xiangfan City, Hubei Province, and I am also half a Hubei native. According to the old customs of my hometown in Hubei, the Spring Festival starts around 8 o'clock on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month! On this day, people have to eat Laba rice. As the saying goes, "After finishing Laba rice, we will prepare New Year's goods." After finishing the unique Laba rice, adults began to be busy. They had to prepare everything for the New Year, so children were the most free at that time.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chinese New Year is celebrated. On this day, every family wants to make Kang stove cakes at night, which are divided into two types: sweet and salty. Sweet filling is made with white sugar, black sesame or peanuts, while salty filling is made with meat without any other ingredients. Wow, when it comes to this, the whole person is not doing well, and saliva is almost dripping. Think about that smell, it seems to linger in the nose. On this day, the busiest one is my grandmother. She starts to mix and distribute noodles early in the morning, and it's already noon when the noodles are sorted and distributed. She then wrapped the prepared filling into the noodles and made them into a pancake shape. One by one, she put them in a pot and turned the two sides of the kang into golden yellow. Then, she put them in a steamer and steamed for twenty minutes, so that the pancake was considered ready. According to customs, we cannot eat the first pancake ourselves and should throw it into the stove to honor the Kitchen God.
On the 24th day of the lunar calendar, every household is required to clean up indoor dust, commonly known as "cleaning the halls and corridors with dust". Both the 25th and 26th days are used to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
"On the 27th day of the lunar calendar, every family has to fry peanuts, corn and other things. At that time, children will be able to eat some secretly. On the 28th and 29th days of the lunar calendar, every family should steam Mantou and steamed buns for the Spring Festival.
"On New Year's Eve, make dumplings." Previously, there were two very important activities on New Year's Eve. One is charcoal fire. On thirty nights, the fire in the brazier cannot be extinguished and must be kept burning continuously. The other is to fill the tank with water, which must be clean water and a full tank is required.
These are all customs of the older generation that should have been passed down, but for some reasons they have not been passed down, and some traditions have gradually become history. As the masters of the new era, we should inherit these traditions, make the Chinese New Year more festive, and preserve the traditional flavor of traditional festivals.

My hometown is in a small village in Fuyang, Zhejiang. Although it is not as bustling as the city, it has a unique flavor and folk customs that the city does not have. The Yuanpu Yuanci Hall is one of our major events.From the day the temple was built, firecrackers were set off to celebrate the start of construction. After building the ancestral hall, it was even more lively. On the first morning, there were many rituals. First, slaughter pigs and sheep. Tie the pigs and sheep to two separate stools, then tie their heads with red red red diamonds and place them upright on the left and right sides of the temple, like two gatekeepers. Someone even carried the oldest elderly person in the village with a sedan chair, followed by many musicians, walking around the village. Wherever you go, there are many people watching, not knowing how lively it is. After all of this is over, we have to set off firecrackers again. At noon, a banquet was held around the ancestral hall, inviting one person from each household to have lunch. On this day, gongs and drums were blazing, firecrackers were incessant, and small stalls were everywhere. This is also what our children love the most. Taking advantage of these days, buy some delicious and fun things, invite friends to play together, and parents won't scold.
As night fell, on the grand stage of the ancestral hall, the first performance was the meticulously rehearsed program of our village's aunties - gongs and drums. After the end, the troupe went on stage to perform, babbling, playing, and singing, which was the favorite program of the grandparents. They always bring chairs early, choose suitable positions, and even if they look at them day and night, they won't feel bored. Although the ancestral hall is very large, it can still be blocked to the point of being completely blocked. Our children like to run around and play games in the temple.
These are just scenes from the first day. Generally speaking, such a grand event should last for at least three days and for three consecutive years. These days, the hospitable villagers always invite their relatives and friends to eat together. The most common family may have to order over thirty tables, it's really lively. The money for building ancestral halls was voluntarily donated by the villagers, with some reaching 800000 yuan and others ranging from two to three hundred yuan. Anyone who donates more than 2000 yuan will receive an antique genealogy.
Creating ancestral halls and circular genealogies is not only a folk custom, but also a symbol of the prosperity and inheritance of a surname!

People in their hometown love to sing and listen to opera more. Whenever there is a happy event in the village, we must first invite a Henan Opera troupe to set up a stage at our doorstep and sing like this. It usually lasts for about three days, but during these three days, people are extremely busy: they rush to the ground early in the morning, go home after work to get a small stool, and if they get another fan in the summer, they fly to the theater like flying, afraid of delaying the plot.When watching a play, people surround the entire stage tightly, with three layers inside and three layers outside, like silk spit out by a silkworm, tightly wrapped. If you are late, then stand outside and listen with your ears up. This crowd cannot be squeezed in no matter how hard you try.
There are also many big names in Yu Opera, such as Chang Xiangyu, Ma Jinfeng, etc. They are idols in the hearts of many theater fans!
Grandma likes to listen to Chang Xiangyu's opera. Her voice is constantly changing, sometimes as deep as the waves of the sea, sometimes as beautiful as the flowing water of a small stream, sometimes joyful, and sometimes extremely sad.
Travelers who go out can't help but burst into tears when they hear this familiar local accent, remembering how they snuggled up in their mother's arms when they were young and listened to her humming Yu opera before falling asleep.
Now, grandma has gone to Beijing, but she said she won't stay for too long. I was surprised and asked, "Isn't Beijing good?" Grandma shook her head and said, "There's no Yu Opera that haunts my soul here!"

On the day of Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival, fish will be raised and released after one day. Why not take care of it during the New Year? Is there surplus in fish farming every year during the New Year. My elders told me that when I eat fish during the New Year, I have a surplus. At that time, when I raise fish, the two surplus will cancel out and I will lose my luck. Therefore, raising Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) has always been a blessing, giving Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) a new meaning.

However, he went a little further and encountered a building made of stones, resembling a "magic formation". Therefore, he contacted the inspectors. Upon investigation, it was found that there were many attached small altars around, and some ancient ornaments were also found around. Obviously, there was an ancient civilization nearby, but the cause of extinction is unknown.
The Hongshan culture, transformed from an ancient civilization into a festival, has entered our vision and integrated many modern and multi-ethnic elements.
