Shandong's regional characteristics and customs

Shandong's regional characteristics and customs;

1. Unique summary: Teachers' professional titles are mainly concentrated in Tai 'an, Jining, Jinan and other areas in Shandong Province. The word "teacher" is a professional title and a kind of honorific title. When you arrive in Shandong, you will find that the name "teacher" will appear in the streets and become a general term. In fact, this feature is precisely the Confucian culture carved into the bones of Shandong people to respect teachers and attach importance to Taoism. Teachers have nothing to do with occupation, but the humility in Shandong people's bones. For example, when asking for directions and greeting, we will say, "Teacher, please see how to get to this place." When you get the answer, you will say "thank you, teacher". In fact, the teacher's name should be an old student.

Second, the wine table culture: The wine table culture of Shandong people has a strong Shandong characteristic, that is, the number of seats. Some people say that the etiquette on the wine table is a hidden rule, but in Shandong, everyone knows the rules of arranging seats and persuading wine.

Three. Like other regions, the "New Year" of Shandong people begins with the "off-year" on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and some off-year days in southern Shandong are on the 24th. In the past, "off-year" was called "No Cooking Day". Legend has it that this day is the day when Kitchen God reports his family background to the Jade Emperor. Therefore, on this day, people should "worship the kitchen god" at home, set up an altar to worship the kitchen god, and send him to heaven to report on his work in order to pray for happiness. On this day, there will be a comprehensive cleaning at home, which is called "sweeping the dust". "Sweeping the dust" means sweeping away all the old "bad luck" and "bad luck", thus welcoming the New Year's wishes with a brand-new look.

4. Sticking Spring Festival couplets, blessing Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters is a tradition in China, and Shandong is no exception. On New Year's Eve, from the moment I get up in the morning, various annual activities begin in turn, which is the busiest and happiest day of the year. In Shandong, posting Spring Festival couplets and blessings is usually done on the morning of New Year's Eve.

Five, please family hall busy day, in the evening, the highlight of the day began-please family hall. "Inviting a family" means holding a ceremony to invite the deceased ancestors and relatives to go home for the New Year. In Shandong, this is the most grand and serious annual event in 30 years, but it has been much younger in recent years.

Sixth, * * * to build a wall, "closed mountains and closed borders". In Shandong, there are few habits of living in quadrangles. Basically, the houses face south, and there are independent courtyards. The courtyards between neighbors are only separated by a wall, which is the wall built by * * *. Shandong Jiaodong area is called "mountain boundary". Once, immigrants who moved from Chongqing for the construction of the Three Gorges Dam did not understand this wall and complained to the local government that it was cutting corners. This was really a matter of customs.
