What are the customs and habits of Haiyan? Urgent! ! ! Good answer. I'll give you a few more points.

[Planting]

Farmers worship the God of Earth and Valley and pray for a good harvest, which has been practiced for a long time. The "Haiyan County Illustrated Book" will be published tomorrow: "Today's Sheji Altar is one mile northwest of the west gate. "There are 100 households in the sea, each with one temple. In the early years of Hongwu, there were 441 temples to worship the gods of the five lands and grains, and to pray for retribution in the Spring and Autumn Period." After that, the temples were abandoned and farmers were unable to do so. During the festival, Hungry Ghost Festival, and Spring Festival, people worship the earth god and pray for a good harvest and blessings from the god. There is a Wushengtang (temple) at the entrance of each village. The temple is quite small, more than 1 meter high, about 0.5-0.7 meters wide and deep. It is built with green bricks and looks like a wall. There is a statue inside or a piece of red paper with a few words written on it. child. It gradually disappeared after the 1950s.

Every year during the Spring Festival, the farmer buys a "Spring Cow Picture" and puts it in the middle hall of the main house. Iron towers, hoes, buffaloes and other agricultural tools and grain storage equipment are covered with red paper. Some wrote "good weather", "good harvest" and other words to welcome the spring. In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can watch the wind and clouds to predict the affairs of the fields. As the saying goes, "When you face the northeast at the end of the year, the fields will be ripe." The twelfth day of February (some say the eighth day of the second lunar month) is the Flower Festival, commonly known as the Hundred Flowers Birthday. It is a sunny day that heralds a good harvest of spring flowers and fruits. Farmers jointly raise cattle for farming and transportation, and regard cattle as treasures. After the winter solstice, a day is chosen to wash the cattle and feed them glutinous rice, old wine, eggs, and bean cakes to nourish them and keep out the cold. This is called honoring the cattle. Today, cattle farming has been replaced by tractors and electric water pumps. The custom of worshiping cattle has been abolished. The custom of posting New Year pictures and Spring Festival couplets still remains, but the content has been updated.

At the beginning of spring sowing, the sowers will have a full meal, thinking that if their bellies are full, the seedlings will grow strong and the grain will be full in the future. The first day of transplanting rice seedlings is called "opening the rice seedling gate". Housewives must prepare some dishes to strengthen their strength. When the seedlings are pulled out, a young man goes to the field first. After pulling out the seedlings for three times, the whole family goes to the field. Go to the field with your left foot first. Rub three sticks of body seedlings before pulling out the seedlings and rub them on your hands and feet. Don't talk when pulling out the seedlings for three days, which is said to prevent the hands and feet from getting rotten. Avoid talking about leeches, crooked insects, etc., for fear of being bitten by insects. Before transplanting the rice seedlings, young men carry the handles of the rice seedlings to the edge of the field and throw them into the raked paddy field, which is commonly known as "seedling harvesting". Avoid "hitting the rice seedlings (disaster)", that is, throwing the rice seedling handles on people. When planting rice seedlings, you should also go down to the field with your left foot first. Do not speak when inserting three rows of rice seedlings. Avoid saying the word "rotten". On the day when the rice transplanting is completed, work is stopped early, which is called "closing the rice field gate". Prepare some fish and meat dishes for a drink, and if you have any helpers, invite them. The next day, the daughter returned to her parents' home and brought gifts to visit her parents. If the natal family's field is not well planted, she will stay to help transplant the rice seedlings.

The fields are irrigated by traffic. In addition to raising cattle, farmers are accustomed to accompany workers and traffic. When there is traffic, people like to sing traffic chants, commonly known as "Ha Tou", which not only counts the number of traffic, but also increases enthusiasm for work. There are usually four people riding a bicycle, and one of them holds edamame leaf stalks (or rice balls) to count.

When crops are harvested, whether new rice or wheat comes on the scene, farmers make new rice and new pasta from the rice and wheat harvested for the first time, light incense and candles, and worship the land and the kitchen god. After the sacrifice, the family eats new rice and new wheat. New pasta means trying something new.

In the old days, farmers used to plant one or two acres of cotton, and after harvesting, they would spin and weave homespun cloth to provide for the whole family for a year. This custom gradually disappeared in the 1970s.

[Silkworm Breeding]

Farmers always worship the silkworm god. "Jiaxing Prefecture Chronicles" of the Jiaqing Period of the Qing Dynasty records: "The Silkworm Temple was first built in Haiyan in the 59th year of Qianlong's reign, and it was dedicated to the auspicious spring and moon." In the old days, it was customary to celebrate the silkworm's birthday on December 12. Folks would go to the Silkworm Temple one after another, light incense and candles, and pray for the flourishing of the silkworm flower. After the temple was destroyed, farmers made cocoons (a stuffed rice dumplings or dumplings made of rice flour) at home every day to pay homage to the Silkworm God. Among the people, "catching silkworm flowers" is an important matter. This must be included in the invitation to God to treat the Buddha. At that time, while the Buddha was drinking wine, Mr. Saozi sang "Silkworm Flower Book" and put silkworm silkworm horse silkworms, silkworm flowers made of colored paper, a steelyard, and a red handkerchief. Give it to the hostess for collection and call it silkworm picking flower. Around the Spring Festival, there are beggars with the theme of "giving silkworms and flowers", and they beat gongs and perform lion dances while giving silkworms and flowers; there are also beggars who use a load on the silkworm statue to beat small gongs and sing auspicious words for raising silkworms. , such as "Maming King Bodhisattva comes to the door to bless the silkworm flowers twenty-four points", etc. After singing, he takes the silkworm statue and goes around the silkworm room to wish the silkworm flowers flourish. Farmers consider it auspicious, give rice or dumplings, and place silkworm flowers on Zaoshan. During the Chinese New Year, most families invite a silkworm god to wear silkworms or tie silkworm flowers with red and green colored paper to offer them in front of the stove.

Farmers harvest silkworms hastily and eagerly, and practice the custom of "divination of silkworms". Before the 1950s, girls from Taoluo were invited to divine silkworm affairs. This method is performed every year before the midnight. First, burn incense and light candles. A small bamboo basket is turned upside down. Two girls stand on the left and right. Each stretches out a finger to lift the basket and swings it left and right to see how long it takes for them to hold the basket. It is predicted that silkworms and flowers will grow in one year. Usually, "look at the weather to measure silkworms." As the proverb goes: "The winter solstice night will be bright and the silkworms will be ripe next year, and the winter solstice night will rain and the silkworms will be thin next year." There is also a custom of "sprinkling silkworm flower water" in the west water network area of ??the county. That is, when the daughter gets married and the wedding boat leaves the port, they pour a bucket of water on the bow of the boat, saying that the daughter will be able to breed silkworms after arriving at her husband's house.

In the old days, most of the silkworm breeding was from Yuhang. Farmers used brine and quicklime to bleach the silkworm seeds on the birthday of silkworms and peanuts, and then sterilized them. "The three dynasties of Grain Rain are dusting silkworms." From the day when the dust ants are hatched, it enters the Silkworm Moon. Every household has its doors closed, side doors for entry and exit, and no intercourse. Even if it is a celebration, it is not allowed to stop. It is commonly known as "Silkworm Closing Gate". There are many taboos in raising silkworms, such as dirt near the silkworm room, unclean things entering the room, sweeping dust indoors, smoking, smoke, grilling fish, burning fur and hair, wine, vinegar and five pungent smells, and smelly smell. For all things, avoid paint, avoid splashing ash with hot soup in front of the stove, avoid knocking on doors and windows, avoid banging on the side, avoid scraping pot ashes, avoid crying or shouting loudly, avoid feeding wet leaves and hot leaves, and avoid being rushed by strangers. wait.

When the silkworms are clustering, use curtains to cover the doors and windows, tie good peach branches, neem flowers, new broad bean stems, green rapeseed stems, and garlic heads into a bunch, hang it on the shed, and put a sickle next to it. "Passive evil, remove collision".

After the cocoons are harvested, the ban on silkworms is lifted, which is commonly known as "the silkworms open the door." Close relatives and friends communicate with each other and give gifts. In the first year, the new son-in-law must come to his father-in-law's house as a guest with fish, pastries, and fruits, and ask about silkworms, saying "Looking for silkworms," ??also known as "Wangshantou." After the owner sells straw or native silk, he often buys some cattails and cattail fans to bring back, hoping that the catfish can be raked firmly. The farmer prepares incense candles and eight bowls of dishes, worships the silkworm god and the kitchen god in the main hall, and says "Thank you to the silkworm flowers".

Since the 1950s, the custom of worshiping the Silkworm God has gradually disappeared.

[Diet]

Staple food Urban and rural residents have always taken rice as their staple food, and occasionally pasta. Farmers have the custom of tasting new things during the harvest season. When the wheat is harvested, they make wheat cakes and noodles; when new grains appear, they taste new rice; after the glutinous rice is harvested, they make glutinous rice dumplings, sweet fermented wine, etc., first to worship the Kitchen God, and then to taste. Farmers eat more Canhuo, and townspeople eat parboiled rice and winter frost rice, so the rice yield rate is high. There is also the habit of "liu Niang rice", that is, eating leftover cold rice and cooking it again with uncooked rice, which can increase the rice yield rate. Since the 1970s, urban and rural areas have gradually switched to japonica rice. During the busy farming season, farmers eat dry rice for breakfast and lunch, balanced rice for dinner, and Xia Qianbenyi plus snacks. During the breaks between farming and during the slack season, rice is the staple food with cereals, vegetables, and vegetables. Farmers have the habit of "eating dry food when busy and thin food when leisure time, eating dry food when going to the fields and eating thin food at home". Urban residents are accustomed to eating porridge in the morning and evening, and dry rice at lunch and dinner. Nowadays, most farmers have three meals a day, and snacks are added when farming is busy.

Cuisine: Urban residents mostly eat vegetarian food with a mix of meat and vegetables; farmers in the past often mainly eat vegetables and grow their own food. Residents in both urban and rural areas make sauces to accompany meals during the dog days. They have stinky braised vegetables at home, such as dried stinky tofu, stinky tofu, stinky pumpkin, stinky edamame, stinky cabbage, etc. They also pickle various vegetables, including pickled water cauliflower in spring and pickled green vegetables in winter. , Guili vegetables, etc., for vegetable consumption in the off-season. Farmers in the suburbs of Wuyuan generally pickle water cauliflower, kohlrabi, etc. and sell them to Shendang, Pinghu, and Zhapu areas. There is a habit of making laogan vegetables in urban and rural areas. Using laogan vegetables to roast meat has a good color, aroma and flavor, and it is not easy to spoil overnight in summer. For wedding banquets, people often have a table of 8 people, with 8-12 bowls (plates) of dishes per table. In the Kanpu = Liuli Tongyuan area, each table has a side of Dongpo Pork, a bowl of braised lamb, and braised lamb with taro. Today, the round table is used, with 10-12 people per table. There are cold cuts, hot stir-fried dishes, dim sum, sweet soup and five major dishes. The first table has more than 16 dishes. When entertaining new relatives and rare guests, urban residents are relatively simple, while farmers are more particular about it. They usually kill chickens to buy meat and receive them warmly. Since the 1980s, it has become popular to serve cold dishes, hot stir-fries and large dishes. For funeral dishes, in the old days, chanters used purely vegetarian dishes, mainly tofu, and white wine was also used as funeral wine to show filial piety, which is commonly known as "eating tofu rice". In recent years, meat dishes have become a must-have dish for funerals.

Snacks include glutinous rice cakes, rice dumplings, dumplings, dumplings, steamed buns, wontons, mung bean pumpkin, red bean glutinous rice, etc. In particular, glutinous rice cakes are commonly made by farmers before the Spring Festival. After being beaten, the cakes are soaked in wax water (that is, the water before the beginning of spring). They will not deteriorate for a long time and can be eaten for one or two months. In recent years, gifting cream cakes has become quite popular.

Drinking water In the old days, residents of Wuyuan Town drank well water, and a few wealthy households dug wells exclusively to obtain water. There were three public wells in Tianning Temple for residents to obtain water for drinking. In other market towns and villages, a few wealthy households dig wells for drinking water, while most households drink river water. Every family has a water storage tank and uses alum to purify the water, which is commonly known as "alum to draw water". In the early 1970s, farmers generally dug wells and switched to drinking well water. Wells were commonly dug in Wuyuan and Shendang and people drank from well water. Residents of Wuyuan and Shendang towns switched to drinking tap water in the mid-1960s and early 1980s respectively. In recent years, some villages have also begun drinking tap water.

Drinking has always been necessary for worshiping ancestors and gods. Agricultural people like to drink liquor, and it is more common for urban residents to drink rice wine and liquor. Before the Spring Festival, farmers like to brew their own glutinous rice liquor, called "Jiu Niang", also known as "Duzuo Liquor", which is sweet and delicious. On New Year's Eve, families get together and drink before dinner to celebrate the festival. On a happy wedding day, relatives and friends get together, and wine is prepared and entertained as a sign of courtesy. In the old days, there were many blacksmiths, masons, porters, fishermen, and boatmen who were addicted to liquor. In recent years, drinking beer, wine and various bottles of wine has become popular in urban and rural areas. Some famous wines and tonic wines are given as gifts to relatives and friends.

Drinking tea was originally only popular among scholars. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it became popular among the people. Farmers like to drink black tea, and townspeople like to drink green tea. Some old people are addicted to tea. There are tea shops all over urban and rural areas. At dawn, tea shops are already bustling with people chatting over tea and exchanging information. The tea shop has morning, noon and night markets. Urban teahouses are also places where farmers can rest after selling their agricultural and sideline products. Urban and rural residents have the custom of "serving tea first when guests come". In recent years, it has become a routine for leading organs to hold various tea parties during major festivals.

Cheongsams are popular among young urban women, while farm women still wear short shirts and casual trousers. In the 1950s, robes and cheongsams disappeared, and plainclothes with large lapels and double lapels gradually decreased. Mao suit, Lenin suit, worker suit and youth suit are popular among men and women.

Later, woolen hats became popular, commonly known as copper basin hats, and were worn by many people from wealthy families and the intellectual class. In the 1930s and 1940s, peaked caps and woolen hats were popular among young people in cities and towns. Commoners and farmers wear Xingzao hats, and those in the profession wear Luosong hats. Older women are accustomed to wearing crepe double-leaf hats without a top. The two sides of the forehead protector are commonly known as "foreign sets". Since the late 1930s, middle-aged and elderly women in some cities and towns have been wearing velvet hats and woolen hats. Babies usually wear embroidered tiger head hats. It was meant to ward off evil spirits. Since the 1940s, it has been gradually replaced by woolen hats. Young women generally don't wear hats, and rural women like to wear flowered blue headscarves.

Since the 1970s, woolen liberation hats and worker hats have been widely worn in urban and rural areas. Elderly farmers are still required to wear camel hair stove hats and Borscht hats. Knitted windbreaker hats were once popular among urban women.

When working in the fields, farmers go barefoot or wear straw sandals. Women like to wear gangster embroidered shoes when visiting guests. Beginning in the 1930s, sneakers and running shoes became increasingly popular in cities and towns. Low-top rubber rain boots were worn on rainy days, and more and more wealthy and educated people wore leather shoes. Popular loop shoes for young women. In the old days, cloth socks were commonly used, with white socks for men and blue socks for women. Since the 1930s, they have been replaced by stockings.

Young women like to wear high-heeled leather shoes, and in winter they wear high-top cotton leather shoes. Most of the socks are Caplon stockings and various synthetic fiber socks.

Hairstyle In the Qing Dynasty, men wore their hair braided, and middle-aged gentry wore beards. Middle-aged girls wear braids and leave short hair covering the forehead, called "bangs". When they get married, they use thread to twist off the facial hair, which is called "opening the face", and then tie the braids into a bun, commonly known as "ya bun". In the early Republic of China, men had their hair cut and shaved, while women had to relax their hair. Men in urban and rural areas first have bald heads, then flat-tops and domes. Since the 1930s, young people and intellectuals in urban areas have adopted Western-style hair, and women have cut off their buns and changed their hair to short hair. However, older women and many peasant women in Northeast Township still wear their hair in buns. After liberation, it was once popular among young women to wear double braids. After that, some people cut their braids and kept their hair short, and some had their bangs in the front braided at the back. In the 1980s, it was common for men to wear Western hair, and more young men had Western-style sideburns. Young women are now wearing shoulder-length hair, and women are getting permed hair more and more.

Civilians have discretion to dispose of them. It is a folk custom for children to wear silver jewelry, usually bracelets or anklets, and a longevity lock around their necks. After the Revolution of 1911, hair bun accessories were gradually phased out, and rings, bracelets, earrings and other accessories became popular among the middle and upper classes. Most of the rings are made of pure gold, and some middle-aged and elderly people also wear jade rings. There are also those who wear jade bracelets among the elderly. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was no longer necessary to decorate and wear it. Since the 1980s, young women have begun to wear rings, necklaces and earrings.

[Residence]

Village Most people in rural areas live together. More than ten or twenty or thirty households form their own villages, and a few prominent families live in larger villages, with one surname being the dominant one and others. Housing is generally built on both sides of the river. Farmers with guest registration in Shaoxing and Wenzhou. Most of them are single-family houses built in thatched cottages, and they live in scattered places. In the coastal zone, there is less land and more people. In the old days, salt production and sea salt fishing were side industries. Most of the houses were built beside the Tang River, and flat bridges were erected at the entrance of the villages. Some villages gather from 100 to 200 to 300 households. Farmers with guest registration have now built tile-roofed houses one after another and live together.

Residential At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, urban housing mostly had brick and wood structures, mainly bungalows and two-story buildings. Ordinary private houses are single-bay or two-bay. Wealthy House is a three-bay two-bedroom building, facing south, with a patio, a wall door and a screen wall in the front, and a shed in the back. The wealthy households of the gentry and gentry have high walls with stone foundations and stone warehouse doors, three bays deep, front living room, middle study room, and back bedroom, with flat tiles on the floor, ceiling, and red painted floorboards, with patios, small courtyards, huts, and alleys in between. , there is a wall in front of the house, a wall of wind and fire next to it, and a garden behind the house. Most of the commercial houses are two-story buildings facing the street, with one or two bays, lined with fashion shops and bedrooms upstairs. Most of the houses near the river extend to the water, supported by wooden piles or stone pillars, and paved with floors, which are called water pavilions. Rural houses are all facing south, with three bays and one or two wings, and mainly bungalows. In the Northeast Feng Township area, it is customary to build cottage houses with ridged roofs and curved eaves. Since the late 1970s, it has been gradually replaced by new buildings with steel plate concrete structures and flat roofs.

In the late 1930s, a large number of residential houses in urban and rural areas were burned down by the Japanese army, and thatched cottages increased in number. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, residential buildings were built year by year in cities and towns. In the 1980s, cities and towns developed into four- and five-story complete residences. Rural areas experienced two housing construction booms in the mid-1960s and the late 1970s. Now two-story new buildings can be seen everywhere, and thatched cottages have disappeared.

Building houses In the old days, when people built houses, they asked a Feng Shui master to look at the terrain and measure the orientation when choosing a foundation. This custom has been abolished since the 1950s. The etiquette and customs of going up to the beam are solemn, so you must choose an auspicious day and a good time to go up to the beam on time. On this day, relatives and relatives all send gifts to celebrate the new moon. In the middle of the main beam, red cloth or red silk is nailed with Shunzhi copper rhinestones, and the words "Shang Liang Daji" are written on Ji paper. When the time comes, the host has finished worshiping the beam, and the master who made the clay wood climbs up the pillar from the left and right. The two ends of the beam are wrapped with red cloth and tied with ropes, and the beam is slowly lifted up. While climbing the beam, he shouts: "Come on! Good luck!" ." At this time, firecrackers were blasting. After the main beam is hammered into the tenon, the host holds a square plate filled with buns, cakes and red paper packets, and goes up the ladder. The master who makes the beam takes the tray, and sings a hymn to the beam while tossing the buns and cakes. Cover the quilt, catch the buns and pastries underneath, and place it on the table in the main room. For those who were left outside, helpers and neighborhood children scrambled to grab them, creating a lively scene. Today, going to Liang is no longer limited to time. On this day, Shangliang wine is served, and the host gives thanks to the head chef, craftsmen, spring workers, relatives and friends with Shangliang wine, and distributes Shangliang steamed buns. It is commonly known as "eating Shangliang steamed buns will bring good luck and good fortune". When relatives and friends return, the host distributes some gifts for relatives and friends to take with them. This custom is still prevalent in rural areas.

In the old days, the built-in stoves were mostly three-burner stoves or two-burner stoves. The top of the inner edge of the stove is called "Zao Mountain". There is a shrine for the Kitchen God, which is used for worshiping the God of Kitchen. Stove ingots are hung on the front end, and an incense burner and candlestick are placed side by side for worshiping the Kitchen God. Since the mid-1960s, the Zao Lord shrine has no longer been built on Zao Mountain. In the old days, when people built a new stove, they asked a Feng Shui master to determine the location and calculate the avoidance. When building a stove, some silkworm excrement is placed on the base of the stove. It is believed that raising silkworms can lead to a good harvest. Women and people with Chinese zodiac signs should avoid this. Colorful cornucopias, evergreens, flowers and birds are painted on the walls of the stove, with auspicious words such as "abundant food and clothing", "peaceful population" and "luck, wealth and longevity" written on them. After the stove is built, the owner of the house steams a pot of rice flour dumplings and gives them snacks to the stove master. The dumplings are also distributed to the neighbors, symbolizing reunion and good luck. Today, we have asked a Feng Shui master to determine the location of the stove, and the custom of taboos has been abolished.

Salt production Residents along the coast of Kanpu, Changchuanba, and Haitang either make salt professionally or make salt as a sideline. The method of making salt is to scrape the mud and pour it in brine, then use the brine as raw material, boil it in a large flat-bottomed wok, or expose it to the sun on a salt plate. If you want to make brine, you must first make mud**. On the day when the salt is made, the people of Yan prepare three kinds of rice wine, incense and candles to worship devoutly. They worship the god who is the head of the fish and pray to the god to bless the fish and make it more fertile and produce good salt. Then the whole family has a drink. If you ask a worker to help you make wine, invite him or her to drink. It is worshiped during every year and festival. Kitchen households who specialize in cooking salt worship the Salt Kitchen God (commonly known as the "Pantou God") during the Chinese New Year to pray for good luck and avoid disasters. Farmers in Xinshe and Luotang (today's Changchuanba Township) boiled salt, and there were no tidal flats to scrape mud from. The salty brine was mainly purchased from the Yuyao and Cixi areas across the Yangtze River. Before the brine boat set sail, the Tide God was worshiped on the bow and prayed for blessings. Safe navigation. In the early 1950s, the abandoned site was converted to other industries, and salt production was terminated. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, salt production was resumed. By the early 1980s, all production was stopped, and the custom of salt production was also abolished.

Ocean fishing Fishermen have been working in the ocean tides for a long time. They worship the tide god and worship him during every year and festival. When worshiping the tide god, prepare fish and meat offerings, incense, rice wine, paper foil, etc., and offer them under the beach to pray to the god for a safe trip to the sea and more fish, and then go to the sea to work. If you use "Guan Net" to catch fish, avoid saying Guan Net. If you want to say Guan Yu, use the euphemism of "Guan Zhifu". Fishermen go out to sea in groups and use bamboo rafts to catch jellyfish. Before going out to sea for the first time every year, several groups join together to worship the raft head god to pray for good luck in going to sea. After the ceremony, they gather to drink and then go to sea to work. The custom of worshiping gods is now abolished.

Livestock Farmers generally raise Hu sheep, some farmers also raise goats, and a few farmers also raise pigs and sows. During festivals, farmers prepare fish, meat, chicken and wine, light incense and candles, worship the land god at the head of the fence, and pray for the prosperity of the six crops. Every time a pig gives birth to piglets or a livestock disease occurs, the owner worships the stall god and prays that the sow and piglets will be free of disease and that the sick pigs will recover soon. This custom gradually disappeared in the 1950s.
