The origin of our Feng Jiajing year!

Hello readers, I'm Feng Songjiang. Let me introduce you to our quiet year:

? Most places are very busy for the New Year, but in Puxi Village, Ganxi Township, Shiqian (including Xinyang Village on the border of Guo Rong? But there is a quiet way to celebrate the New Year, which is called "quiet year" by local people and has a history of nearly 500 years.

Every Chinese New Year (the 29th and 28th of the twelfth lunar month), a Dong people named Feng in Puxi village will drive their pigs, cows and other livestock to the mountains (called "Tibetan soldiers"), leaving only one person at home to worship their ancestors. After the villagers leave the village, each host will choose a quiet moment to worship the "Four Guarantees General". After the sacrifice, the whole family outside went home and ate the New Year's Eve dinner quietly.

? According to the local old man, during the Ming Dynasty, General Feng Biliang and his three sons prepared to attack Guizhou. Unexpectedly, Feng Biliang died when attacking Sinan, and his three sons were divided into three ways. Feng Yingkui, the eldest son, was defeated when he attacked Kaili after capturing Shiqian, and he was the only one left in the army to be hunted down.

? Feng Yingkui saw four bodies on the road, so he pulled them over and covered them, secretly wishing that "if you can save me from danger, my children and grandchildren can live a peaceful year and call you the' Four Generals'". Later, the pursuer was cheated by a dead body. Feng Yingkui settled in Puxi after his escape. Since then, Feng's descendants have lived a "quiet year" every year.

Shiqian "quiet year" was listed as the second batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage in Guizhou in 2007. At present, the county is collecting relevant information and will declare the national intangible cultural heritage.

In the past, we wanted to set off firecrackers quietly, but people with other surnames wanted to set off firecrackers, which led to many lawsuits. Finally, it was decided that our surname Feng celebrated the New Year one day earlier than others, that is, the 29th and 28th of the twelfth lunar month!

? Today is an annual quiet year. Now every household is burning pig's head, which is well done. At about six in the evening, they will burn paper! You can't talk around seven o'clock. You must keep your age, except for very young children. From seven to nine, you can't talk during this time. Now we still have the spirit of "total four guarantees" on the incense!

This is the pride of our surname Feng! We will inherit this intangible cultural heritage forever. ?
