Chapter 186: The Tradition of Staying Up All Night

Unforgettable tonight?

——Experience.

Thinking of this, Ye Haoyu, Ye Lingfan...their faces instantly tensed and their scalps went numb. They didn't want to bear the wrath of their grandmother.

Besides, life at home has indeed become better with the arrival of my younger sister, my cousin Yingbao.

If you're not nice to her, who else can you be nice to?

Several people nodded in unison, expressing their sincerity as before, without any impatience, "Got it, Grandma, we will definitely not forget our roots, and we will definitely make our sister the happiest person in the world in the future.

My sister is so good, how could we possibly bully her? "

Yingbao tilted her head to look at her grandma, then at her brother, and then turned back to look at her grandma. The little old lady was adorable no matter how you looked at her, except for one thing that might be considered bad by others, but was simply wonderful to her. Her grandma was partial and loved her so much!

Oh Li Ge!

I am so happy.

Wang Cuihua was satisfied at once, and stopped talking about them brothers, for fear that it would sound like a spell to tighten the hoop around their necks.

Staying up all night to celebrate the New Year is a traditional culture and custom.

Everything you ask for, think about, and wish for is beautiful.

Ancient people said that staying up all night to welcome the New Year has two meanings. The first meaning is that the elderly stay up all night, and what they expect is family happiness and gathering together, so it means cherishing time and cherishing the years; the other meaning is that the young people stay up all night, and what they hope is that their parents are in good health, have good luck and smile all the time, so it also means prolonging the life of parents.

The elderly always ask for what they want for their children, and the grown-up and sensible children always ask for what they want for their parents.

——Running in both directions.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was an extremely vicious monster, which people called "Nian". In order to prevent the monster from harming people, people would paste red characters of blessing, hang bright red lanterns, write couplets on red paper and paste them on the door, and set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, people must stay up late to prevent the Nian monster from taking advantage of the situation.

To Yingbao, the ancient times were all just legendary stories, even if she lived another life. She had never seen them with her own eyes. They were too far away...

She only remembered that the earliest record of the origin of staying up all night, which her teacher taught her at school, was found in the Fengtu Ji (Fengtu Ji) by Zhou Chu of the Western Jin Dynasty:

On New Year's Eve, people give gifts to each other, which is called "gifting the year"; they invite each other to drink and eat, which is called "saying goodbye to the year"; the young and the old drink together and offer blessings, which is called "dividing the year"; everyone stays up all night waiting for the dawn, which is called "keeping the year".

Yingbao didn't understand what "giving gifts to the New Year, saying goodbye to the New Year, and dividing the New Year" meant at that time. She only knew to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Many of her classmates didn't understand either.

So, in class, the teacher took out limited time to explain to them:

"From ancient times to the present, people have attached great importance to the traditional customs of New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, parents get up early and start preparing candies, melon seeds, peanuts... right?"

Yingbao nodded and answered loudly with his classmates: "Yes."

After listening to the students' responses, the teacher continued to satisfy their curiosity, "Are you particularly happy on this day? Will you put a lot of melon seeds and candies in the pockets of your new clothes and share them with your friends?"

"right"

Teacher: "That's right. Gifting each other means giving each other candies, fruits, melon seeds, small gifts... to express your blessings and care for each other."

"…………".
