The Year of Rebirth

The Chinese New Year symbolizes the beginning of the year and is also the most important day of the year.The Su family has always maintained the most traditional custom - offering sacrifices to heaven.

Worshiping heaven is the most solemn and solemn sacrificial ceremony of the Chinese nation, which originated in ancient times.It is a form of "communication" between man and heaven.The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is usually presided over by the "Son of Heaven".By offering sacrifices to the sky, people express their gratitude to the sky for nourishing and nurturing all things, and pray for the emperor to bless the people of China.

After the Zhou Dynasty, especially after the Confucianism became dominant in the Han Dynasty, all dynasties respected the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, so the ceremony of worshiping heaven was basically carried out in the way of the Zhou Dynasty.However, with the development of society, there are still changes in processes and utensils.

The Su family's ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is not as cumbersome as in ancient times, but it is inevitable to be busy all day.

The ceremony was presided over by the head of the family and held at the altar of the Su family. All the people from the separated family would come, no matter how far away, they would not go back until after the reunion dinner.

Su Liunian got up early, put on the black robe that the housekeeper had prepared for him to wear today, fixed his short hair, put on a hair crown, and finally hung the jade pendant that Su Xuanyan gave him last night on his waist This is considered neatly dressed.

This sacrifice to heaven is very important to Su Liunian, not only because it is the first New Year he celebrates after returning home, but also because it will be the first time he appears in front of each branch family. If you are not careful, the bad impression left may be difficult to erase.

The Su family is an ancient family, so it has always maintained the tradition of offering sacrifices to heaven.However, the relationship between the branch family of the Su family and the main family is different from that of many families.Although the two sides complement each other, they do not communicate with each other on weekdays, and there are few contacts. The head of the main family will not interfere with the separation of the family, and the separation does not care about the behavior of the main family.They will only get together during the once-a-year sacrifice to heaven. This is a family motto passed down from the Su family, and every generation of the Su family must abide by it.

After going downstairs for breakfast, Su Liunian followed Su Xuanqing into the car and headed to the altar.

The altar is not far from the Su family's cemetery, and it is probably in that area of ​​mountains. Su Liunian doesn't know the long-standing ancient history of the Su family, let alone what a huge family the Su family is. understood.

In a sense, he lived a very leisurely life.

The whole ceremony lasted all morning. Su Liunian and Su Xuanqing also stood with Su Xuanyan all morning. During this time, Su Liunian kept smiling. By noon, he felt that he couldn't smile anymore.

Seeing that he kept pinching her face, Su Xuanqing was amused, and raised her hand to rub his head.

"Brother, since the sacrifice to heaven can be completed in the morning, why didn't they leave after lunch?" Su Liunian said a little depressed.

"Many people will leave after lunch. In the afternoon, only the patriarch and branch patriarchs will participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. In the evening, the reunion dinner will be eaten with all the branch patriarchs." Su Xuanqing, who has been tossing around every New Year for so many years, has Totally immune. "If you don't want to have dinner here, I can send you back now."

"No need." Su Liunian's eyes were firm: "Brother is still suffering, how can I slip away as a younger brother..."

Su Xuanqing: "..."

"Brother, we don't have anything to do this afternoon, right?" Su Liunian was very excited as he pulled Su Xuanqing.

"What's wrong?"

"After lunch, my brother will accompany me to the hot spring! I was sick last time, and I haven't taken a good bath since then."

Su Xuanqing's eyes dimmed, she hooked her lips and said to him: "Okay."

On New Year's Day, I was in a hurry to sell myself, so give Su Xiaonian a thumbs up!
