Lu's custom

As soon as we entered the twelfth lunar month, all the downtown areas were crowded with people who bought new year's goods, but all kinds of things also rose a lot. Businessmen took the opportunity to do a good business, so there is a proverb that "soil and water are three points more expensive in the twelfth month"

5, lucky money

It is said that there was a fierce beast called Nian in ancient times, which would come out every 365 days to hurt people, animals and crops. When children are afraid, adults use firecrackers to drive away Nian and comfort children with food. This is called "earthquake suppression".

Over the years, it turned into money instead of grain. In the Song Dynasty, there was a "scare of money". According to historical records, Wang Shaozi went south and was kidnapped by bad guys. He exclaimed on the way, only to be saved by the imperial car. Song Shenzong gave him "surprise gold rhinoceros money". Later, it developed into "lucky money".
