雨水的传统习俗
雨水节气的到来,表示着降雨开始。雨水节气的天气特点对冬农作物生长有很大的影响,农谚道:“雨水有雨庄稼好,大春小春一片宝。”雨水节气也是一个非常富有想象力和人情味的节气,人们也在这一天以不同的形式乞求着顺利安康。具体有哪些传统习俗,一起来看看吧~
1、回娘屋。回娘屋是流行于川西一带的风俗。民间到了雨水节气这一天,出嫁的女儿纷纷带上礼物回娘家拜望父母。生育了孩子的妇女,需带上罐罐肉、椅子等礼物,感谢父母的养育之恩。
2、接寿。接寿的意思是祝岳父岳母长命百岁。送节的一个典型礼品就是“罐罐肉”:用砂锅炖了猪脚和雪山大豆、海带,再用红纸、红绳封了罐口,给岳父岳母送去。这是对辛辛苦苦将女儿养育成人的岳父岳母表示感谢和敬意。如果是新婚女婿送节,岳父岳母还要回赠雨伞,让女婿出门奔波,也能遮风挡雨,也有祝愿女婿人生旅途顺利平安的意思。
