What are the stresses on New Year’s Day ~

Hua Chu yi

1. Happy New Year

On New Year’s Day, people put on beautiful clothes and go out to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings to each other. Paying New Year greetings is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their best wishes to each other.

In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to celebrate the New Year for the elderly. New Year greetings usually begin at home. On the morning of the first day, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders are worshipped, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. After paying homage to the elders at home, people should also greet the New Year with smiles when they meet out, and exchange auspicious words such as "Congratulations on getting rich", "Best wishes for the four seasons" and "Happy New Year". Neighbors, relatives and friends also visit each other or invite them to drink and entertain.

2. Steamed rice cakes

Because of its homophonic "high age" and varied tastes, rice cakes have almost become a necessary food for every family during the Spring Festival. The styles of rice cakes are square yellow and white rice cakes, which symbolize gold and silver and express the meaning of making a fortune in the New Year.

The taste of rice cakes varies from place to place. The rice cakes in the north are mainly sweet, steamed or fried, and some people simply eat them with sugar. The rice cakes in the south are both sweet and salty, such as those in Suzhou and Ningbo, which are made of japonica rice and have a light taste. In addition to steaming and frying, you can also slice and fry or cook soup.

3. Eat jiaozi

Eating jiaozi on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is the custom of northerners, but now many southern Renye Fang have joined the ranks of eating jiaozi. Eating jiaozi on New Year’s Eve means "having good luck in the coming year", while eating jiaozi on New Year’s Day means having good luck in the coming year.

4, paste the chicken

In ancient times, chickens were painted on doors and windows to drive away ghosts and evil spirits during the Spring Festival. In ancient mythology, there was a saying that the chicken was a deformed bird of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Yao, friends paid tribute to a bird of the Ming Dynasty that could ward off evil spirits. Everyone welcomed the arrival of the bird of the Ming Dynasty, but not every year, people carved a wooden bird of the Ming Dynasty, cast it in bronze, or painted it on doors and windows to scare off monsters and make them afraid to come again.

Because the bird looks like a chicken, it will be gradually changed to painting a chicken or cutting window flowers and sticking them on the doors and windows, which will become the source of paper-cutting art in later generations. In ancient China, chickens were paid special attention to, and they were called "birds with five virtues". Therefore, people not only cut chickens during the Chinese New Year, but also set the first day of the New Year as Chicken Day.

5, it is not easy to sweep the floor and take out the garbage

It is said that the first day of the first month is the broom birthday, so you can’t use the broom on this day, otherwise it will sweep away luck and ruin money, and attract the "broom star" and cause bad luck. If you have to sweep the floor, you must sweep it from the outside to the inside. On this day, you can’t throw water on the garbage, for fear of breaking the money.

At present, there is a custom in many places to clean up on New Year’s Eve. On the first day of the lunar new year, no brooms are put out, no garbage is taken out, and a large bucket is prepared to hold waste water, so that it is not splashed outside that day.

What are the traditional New Year greetings?

There are three kinds of traditional New Year greetings:

First, kowtow. When minors pay New Year greetings to elders with higher seniority, they should pay homage to them.

The second is to bow down and bow down, which is generally used by the younger generation when greeting the elders, commonly known as "Jibai". When saluting, raise your hands with your fists in front, hold your right hand in your left hand, and hand over Qi Mei. Shake it up and down a few times, and bow after bowing.

The third is to hand over the fist, mostly to pay New Year greetings among peers. The standard man’s posture is that his right hand becomes a fist and his left hand wraps it, because the right hand is an attacker and wraps it to show goodwill; Women, on the other hand, do not hold their fists, but only press their hands. This is in line with the ancient tradition of "male left and female right".

Ministry of Education: In 2023, the Normal University under the Ministry of Education plans to recruit 8,300 normal students at public expense.

  Cctv newsAccording to the Ministry of Education and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, it is necessary to take strengthening the construction of teachers as the most important basic work in building an educational power. This year is the 39th Teachers’ Day and the first Teachers’ Day after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. We thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the important exposition on education made by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, and constantly promote the construction of the teaching staff.

  First, new achievements have been made in the construction of teachers’ morality and style.

  We held a deployment meeting to promote the construction of teachers’ morality and style and start the centralized study and education of teachers’ morality, and implemented six major actions such as "casting souls with thoughts" in political construction. In the national public service platform of wisdom education, 96 courses of teachers’ morality were built, and four seminars on national conditions education for young teachers in colleges and universities and demonstration seminars on teachers’ morality and ethics education for leaders and key teachers in primary and secondary schools were held. Implement the system of employment prohibition and access inquiry, and strengthen the bottom line constraint of teachers’ morality. Highlight the typical guidance and carry forward the social fashion of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching. In 2023, together with Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, we will select trees to promote one model of the times, 12 national models of teaching and educating people, 10 most beautiful teachers, one special tribute figure and one most beautiful teacher team. Announced 1998 national teaching achievement awards, including 570 basic education awards; 572 vocational education and higher education (undergraduate); 284 higher education (graduate students).

  Second, the characteristic teacher education system in China has formed a new situation.

  Initiate the implementation of the national excellent primary and secondary school teachers training plan ("National Excellent Plan"). Support the "double-first-class" construction of colleges and universities to train excellent teachers at the graduate level for primary and secondary schools. The first batch of pilot projects supported Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other six subordinate normal universities, and a total of 30 "double-first-class" construction colleges and universities undertook the training task. Promote public education for normal students.In 2023, the Normal University under the Ministry plans to recruit 8,300 normal students at public expense. It is planned to recruit 12,420 normal students for the "Excellent Teacher Program", an increase of 28% compared with the beginning of its implementation in 2021.Promote the implementation of the collaborative quality improvement plan for normal education. More than 600 cadres and teachers were exchanged in 72 normal universities, nearly 900 normal students visited and exchanged, trained across schools, trained 203,000 teachers, opened 862 high-quality courses, and shared nearly 800 library resources and databases.

  Third, new progress has been made in teacher management reform and treatment guarantee.

  Deepen the reform of teacher management. Select 10 regions at the provincial, city and county levels to carry out the pilot reform of the national basic education teachers’ team, and encourage and support local governments to explore new ideas and new measures to deepen the reform of the basic education teachers’ team.We will further promote the reform of the teacher qualification system and smoothly organize the qualification examination and accreditation of primary and secondary school teachers. In the first half of 2023, 4.273 million people applied for the teacher qualification examination.. Increase the recruitment and training of postdoctoral students and optimize the reserve of young talents. Deepen the reform of teachers’ professional title system, implement the evaluation and supervision of professional titles in colleges and universities, and broaden the channels for teachers’ professional development. Continue to strengthen the protection of teachers’ treatment. Improve the linkage mechanism of compulsory education teachers’ salary adjustment with local civil servants’ salary adjustment. In conjunction with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Finance and other departments, we will continue to consolidate the results that the average wage income of compulsory education teachers is not lower than that of local civil servants.

  Fourth, new breakthroughs have been made in the construction of "double-qualified" teachers in vocational education.

  Improve the policy of part-time teachers in vocational schools. In conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Measures for the Administration of Part-time Teachers in Vocational Schools were revised to encourage attracting technical and skilled personnel to teach part-time in vocational schools. Improve the standard system of vocational education teachers in the new era. The standards for the identification of "double-qualified" teachers in vocational education were issued, and the connotation requirements, identification scope and identification process of "double-qualified" teachers were clarified and standardized at the national level for the first time. Optimize the training system of vocational education teachers. Promote high-level universities, head enterprises and vocational colleges to form a community, and build 170 "double-qualified" teacher training bases by hierarchical classification. We continued to implement the quality improvement plan for teachers in vocational colleges, and completed 136,000 national trainings and 92,000 provincial trainings. Implement the "National Training of Vocational Education" demonstration project.

  Fifth, the allocation of teachers’ resources presents a new look.

  The scale of teachers has been further expanded and their quality has been further improved. By the end of 2022, there were 359,800 full-time teachers at all levels in China, an increase of 1.95%. The proportion of full-time teachers with bachelor degree or above in compulsory education in China was 81.02%, up by 3.3 percentage points over the previous year. Among them, the proportion of full-time teachers with bachelor degree or above in rural compulsory education was 76.01%, up by 3.78 percentage points over the previous year. The proportion of full-time teachers with senior titles in compulsory education is 54.39%, that in ordinary high schools is 60.78%, that in secondary vocational schools is 58.99%, and that in higher education is 42.22%. Respond to the changing trend of population and promote the optimal allocation of teacher resources. Deploy and carry out the demand mapping and development prediction of kindergarten teachers in primary and secondary schools, carry out special research, conduct comprehensive research and forward-looking layout. In conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, we will continue to implement the "Special Post Plan" in depth. In 2023, we plan to recruit 52,300 people and continue to supplement high-quality teachers for rural schools.

  The theme of this year’s Teacher’s Day is: I am a strong country in the field of teaching.

  The Ministry of Education has issued a notice to make arrangements for the publicity and celebration of the 39th Teacher’s Day, demanding that all activities of Teacher’s Day be carried out ceremoniously, enthusiastically and efficiently. This year, we will hold a national symposium for outstanding teachers, carry out the publicity activities of "model of the times", national model of teaching and educating people, the selection of the most beautiful teachers, the roving report activities of national outstanding special post teachers, the activities of "lighting up the city" to pay tribute to teachers, the learning and publicity activities of outstanding young teachers in rural areas, the micro-video exhibition and broadcast activities of "short videos of teachers’ elegant demeanor and touching moments", the teachers’ visit and condolence activities, and jointly organize the fourth national teaching competition for young teachers in primary and secondary schools with the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. A series of activities, such as teacher-themed movies and TV plays, will create a good atmosphere for the whole party and society to respect teachers and attach importance to teaching, and encourage teachers and educators to actively participate in the practice of building a strong country through education.
