Rebirth of Fortune Soars

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Feng and Amuro Namie's stomachs groaned in unison.

"Pfft!" Amuro Namie looked embarrassed, but she was secretly happy.

Qin Feng smiled.

"You're hungry, but during the Chinese New Year, this is the best. No matter what time, there are a lot of dishes in the refrigerator!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "Well, I'll show you what's in the kitchen food!"

"Well, then I'll help!" Namie Amuro smiled and nodded.

"Then go and wait for me first, I'll change clothes!" Qin Feng said.

You must know that this night, Qin Feng was under the bed with both hands, and he didn't dare to come out. There is no way, there are two girls on the left and right in my arms.

"Well, okay!" Amuro Namie giggled, went out and closed the door, Qin Feng let out a long breath.

Looking at it at this time, the two women are already fast asleep, lying on the bed like kittens, so well-behaved.

Qin Feng got up, got out of bed quietly, and put on his clothes. But after thinking about it, she came back and put on Shen Manli's pajamas. Otherwise, if she wakes up naked and sleeps with Yi Hannuo, she doesn't know what will happen.

Of course, Qin Feng must admit that he also had a little bad intentions. Before this, he was very wolf-hearted. If Namie Amuro hadn't disturbed him, Qin Feng didn't know what he would do. At this moment, it is time to charge some interest.

Tut tut tut! Qin Feng must admit that his squad leader has really grown up. But Qin Feng didn't dare to look too much, for fear of waking up the second daughter.

After getting dressed, put the two of them on the pillow, turn off the light, and go out quietly.

"Look, these dishes are all prepared by our family during the Chinese New Year!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "This Spring Festival, many relatives will visit at home, and then we will prepare a lot of food, drink, and There are snacks. Occasionally, there will be a mahjong table at home, ready to play mahjong, poker or something!"

"It's so interesting!" Amuro Namie said with a smile, "We celebrate the New Year in Japan, although it is very lively, but there are not so many people! And it is not the lunar calendar, we are in the Gregorian calendar!"

Gregorian Spring Festival! Qin Feng understands this point. After all, after staying in Japan for a while, I have a little understanding of some Japanese customs.

In fact, Japan celebrates Chinese New Year. As the kingdom of heaven, some countries around China are influenced by China's customs, and they all celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival. Especially in Japan, before the Han Dynasty, Japan learned from China, mainly adopting the method of "inviting to come in", and obtained advanced technological civilization from the Chinese people who went to Japan. After the Han Dynasty, Japan began to send people to China to actively learn advanced culture. In the Tang Dynasty, Japan's enthusiasm for learning from China gradually increased.

Since the end of the 7th century, Japan has used the Chinese calendar and introduced all Chinese festivals. Of course, the Spring Festival is no exception. On the 30th day of the Lunar New Year in China, the Japanese New Year's habits are similar to those in China.

But in the 19th century, things changed.

In Asia in the mid-19th century, Japan was in the last shogunate, the Tokugawa shogunate. The powerful Tokugawa shogunate implemented a "lockdown policy" to the outside world, prohibiting foreign missionaries, businessmen, and civilians from entering Japan, and not allowing Japanese abroad to return home, and even prohibiting the manufacture of ships suitable for oceangoing navigation.

However, in some economically developed areas, the buds of capitalism appeared, which impacted the feudal natural economy and fundamentally shook the ruling foundation of the shogunate. The merchants felt that the old system seriously restricted their development, so they began to call for the reform of the political system and formed an alliance with the feudal princes, samurai, and grassroots farmers.

After a series of wars, under the command of Emperor Meiji, the Japanese people overthrew the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and established a constitutional monarchy. Subsequently, Emperor Meiji carried out a series of reform measures. Among these measures, one is the abolition of the Spring Festival.

Is this because the Huaxia at that time, that is, the Manchu Qing government was too ignorant and backward, and wanted to draw a clear line with the Manchu Qing government?

In other words, the Japanese government in the Meiji Restoration era felt that it was too powerful and wanted to draw a line with the past?

Of course not!

The reason is also very funny to say.

Before the Meiji Restoration, officials received a "monthly salary" issued on a monthly basis, but there will be a leap month every few years in the lunar calendar, and they will be paid on a thirteen-month basis. At that time, the new Meiji government was facing the construction of modernization, which required huge funds and the national treasury was empty.

Therefore, the Meiji government issued the "Calendar Reform Edict" on November 9, 1872 in the lunar calendar, deciding to abolish the lunar calendar and promulgate the solar calendar, with the upcoming December day as January 1, 187. The month and day are all implemented according to the corresponding date of the new calendar. The result of the calendar reform is to save two months of financial expenditure for the government, and solve the financial difficulties for the government to a large extent.

Therefore, the Japanese authorities revised the calendar in order to save money. Not for any reason, but for money.

Of course, although the calendar has been revised and the Spring Festival is no longer celebrated, in modern times, on the day of the Chinese New Year, after work, most Japanese people will also find a Chinese restaurant to have dinner together and celebrate the New Year together!

However, although there is no statutory Lunar New Year's Day, December 1st in the Gregorian calendar is actually the Japanese New Year's Day.

On New Year's Day, every house is decorated with pines and cypresses, and the night of December 31 is "New Year's Eve". On this night, every family eats reunion mustard wheat noodles, because noodles represent longevity. On New Year's Eve, people wait for twelve midnight at home or in temples. This is the same as the Chinese people waiting to hear the New Year's bell, but the Japanese New Year's bell is unique.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrives, temples all over Japan will strike one hundred and eight bells, and the heavy bells echo over the Japanese archipelago. After the "big night bell" rang, people with different long-cherished wishes went to the shrines and temples in an endless stream, visited the gods and worshiped the Buddha, and paid New Year's greetings to each other the next day.

"Then let's have a pure Chinese Spring Festival!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "The dumplings we ate tonight symbolize reunion, but look, the refrigerator is full of vegetables!"

Qin Feng opened the refrigerator, and there were all kinds of Spring Festival dishes prepared at home.

At this time, there are no side-by-side refrigerators in China. Although Europe and the United States already have them, they do not exist in China. Qin Feng didn't bother to do it either. Therefore, at home, I specially bought two double-door refrigerators and put them together, which can be regarded as a side-by-side refrigerator.

Inside, there are two refrigerators full of home-made New Year's goods. variety of food.

"Let me see, what's there!" Qin Feng looked at it.
