In Pu Tian, buds are made twice on the second and sixteenth day of the lunar month (except the first month). There are 22 buds in the whole year except the second and sixteenth days of the first month, among which the tail bud is the most grand. The so-called "tail bud" is the last bud in a year. Putian people pay more attention to the tail bud and the head bud, but generally do not pay attention to the other 20 buds (except businessmen). If Putian people have housework, such as "getting up", "doing feng shui", building bridges and paving roads. The host will treat the host and waiter to a meal every twenty-six buds. On the day of "Tail Bud", the host entertained masters and waiters such as Tushui and Woodworking, with extra meals. In ancient times, if the boss didn't renew the waiter next year, he expressed it in various ways at the tail bud banquet, asking the waiter to find his own way next year. Now this custom also exists in some shops.
With the arrival of Weiya, Putian people who work, do business, study and work in other places all go home to eat more.
There are many views on the historical origin of bud making, one of which is related to the merchant Laomiya in Ming Dynasty. However, my lawyer thinks this view is a bit far-fetched. My lawyer believes that in a self-sufficient feudal society, transportation is inconvenient and information is ineffective. To promote the teeth of a local figure, Lao Mi, to the whole country and regard him as the origin of bud making, it must be promoted by feudal dynasties, such as the "Five-Day Festival" with Qu Yuan and Mazu (Dragon Boat Festival). If making buds is related to the teeth of Laomi, it will definitely be recorded in the history books. But so far, we can only see the shadow of bud making in a classical novel "The Scholars", so this lawyer believes that bud making has nothing to do with Laomi's teeth nationwide (at most, people in some areas make buds to commemorate Laomi's teeth). Other views on the origin of budding are limited in space, and my lawyer will not repeat them.
In the evening in Victoria, every household pays tribute, burns tribute silver, burns paper money and sets off firecrackers. Qi Le was very happy when the family got together for dinner. Whether it is high-grade or low-grade, these dishes are essential: braised taro; Monkeys, fried rice noodles, etc. Shops, companies and enterprises with good performance will invite employees to have extra dinners to reward their work in the past year.
Some people equate bud making with tooth making, which is debatable. Our lawyers believe that tooth preparation refers to asking a doctor to make a good tooth when a person's teeth are broken, and bud preparation is a folk custom in Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan Province and other coastal areas, so it seems inappropriate to equate bud preparation with tooth preparation. Some people think that bud and tooth are the same in ancient Chinese, but this lawyer thinks that bud can't be written as tooth because the pronunciation of these two words is very different in Putian dialect.
There is a famous saying in Putian: "The tail bud is happy to eat, and the head bud is dead to eat." Because after Wei Ya, the theme of social life in Putian is: eating wedding wine, "bragging", "three views", singing and other activities, and there is little physical activity, so Cloudtail Ya eats happily; After the Spring Festival, the first bud has passed, and the theme of social life is: farmers begin to prepare for spring ploughing and go out to work, so there is a saying that "the first bud eats to death". We should correctly understand this dead word, don't think that the first bud will die after eating it, and try to make money after the first bud.
