Chapter 587

    I don''t know how long later, Qin Feng and namihui murmured.


    "Pooh!" Naomi Anu looked embarrassed, but she was secretly happy.


    Qin Feng smiled.


    "I''m hungry, but during the Chinese new year, that''s all. At any time, there are a lot of dishes in the fridge! " Qin Feng said with a smile, "well, I''ll show you what to eat in the kitchen!"


    "Well, I''ll fight!" Naomi Akiro nodded with a smile.


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


    You know, Qin Feng''s hands were in the quilt and he didn''t dare to come out this night. No way, there are two girls in my arms.


    "Well, OK!" Amiro namihui smiled and went out to close the door. Qin Feng sighed.


    At this time, look again, the two women have fallen asleep, lying in the quilt like a kitten, not clever.


    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, it will have to wait. If you wake up naked and sleep with ihanno, you don''t know what will happen.


    Of course, Qin Feng must admit that he also had a bad idea. Before that, Qin Feng had a big heart. If he hadn''t been disturbed by namihui AMRO, Qin Feng didn''t know what he would do. At the moment, we should charge some interest.


    Tut tut! Qin Feng must admit that his monitor has really developed. However, Qin Feng didn''t dare to see more for fear of waking up her second daughter.


    After getting dressed, put them on pillows, turn off the lights and go out quietly.


    "You see, these dishes are prepared at home during the Chinese New Year!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "during the Spring Festival, many relatives will come to visit, and then we will prepare a lot of food, drinks and snacks. Occasionally, there will be a mahjong table at home, ready to play mahjong and poker! "


    "How interesting!" Naomi anuro said with a smile, "although we celebrate the new year in Japan, it is also very lively, but there are not so many people! And it''s not the lunar calendar, we''re the Gregorian calendar! "


    Lunar New Year! Qin Feng knows this. After all, after staying in Japan for some time, I know a little about some Japanese customs.


    In fact, Japan celebrates the Spring Festival. As the upper kingdom of China, some countries around China are influenced by Chinese customs. 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 by "inviting in" and getting advanced technological civilization from Chinese people who went to Japan. After the Han Dynasty, Japan began to send people to China to take the initiative to learn advanced culture. In the Tang Dynasty, the upsurge of learning from China in Japan gradually rose.


    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 of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Japanese New Year habits are similar to those in China.


    But by the 19th century, things had changed.


    In Asia in the mid-19th century, Japan was in the era of Tokugawa shogunate, the last shogunate. The powerful Tokugawa Shogunate implemented a "lock-in policy" to prohibit foreign missionaries, businessmen and civilians from entering Japan, do not allow foreign Japanese to return home, and even prohibit the manufacture of ships suitable for ocean navigation.


    However, in some economically developed areas, the germination of capitalism appeared, which impacted the feudal natural economy and fundamentally shook the ruling foundation of the shogunate. Businessmen felt that the old system seriously restricted their development, so they began to call for the reform of the political system and formed an "inverted screen" alliance with vassal princes, warriors and grass-roots 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, Meiji emperor carried out a series of reform measures. One of these measures is the abolition of the Spring Festival.


    Is it because China at that time, that is, the Manchu and Qing government was too stupid and backward to draw a line with the Manchu and Qing government, or that the Japanese government in the Meiji Restoration era felt that it was too strong to draw a line with the past?


    Of course not!


    The reason is also very funny.


    Before the Meiji Restoration, officials received a monthly "monthly salary", but there was a leap month every few years in the lunar calendar, which should be paid for 13 months. At that time, the Meiji new regime was facing the construction of modernization, needed huge funds, and the Treasury was empty.


    Therefore, the Meiji government issued the "imperial edict to change the calendar" on November 9 of the lunar calendar, decided to abolish the lunar calendar and issue the solar calendar, taking the upcoming December 3 as January 1 of 1873. Since then, the old calendar months and days such as sacrifices will be implemented according to the corresponding dates of the new calendar. The result of the calendar change is to save the government two months of financial expenditure, which has solved the financial difficulties for the government to a great 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, most Japanese will find a Chinese restaurant to have dinner and spend the new year together after work on the day of the Lunar New Year!


    However, although there is no legal lunar new year, December 31 of the Gregorian calendar is actually Japan''s Spring Festival.


    On New Year''s day, every family decorates their houses with pine and cypress. The night of December 31 is "New Year''s Eve". That night, every family eats reunion mustard noodles, because noodles represent longevity. On New Year''s Eve, people wait for midnight at home or in the temple. This is the same as the Chinese people waiting to hear the New Year bell, but the New Year bell in Japan is unique.


    From 12:00 to 1:00, monasteries all over Japan have to ring 108 bells, and the heavy bell echoes over the Japanese islands“ After the sound of the bell on the eve of the lunar new year, people have different old wishes. They come to shrines and temples in an endless stream to visit gods and worship Buddha, and pay New Year''s greetings to each other the next day.


    "Then have a pure Chinese Spring Festival!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "the dumplings we ate tonight mean round and round, but look, there are vegetables in the fridge!"


    Qin Feng opened the refrigerator, which was full of all kinds of Spring Festival dishes prepared at home.


    At this time, there is no door-to-door refrigerator in China. Although there are refrigerators in Europe and America, there are no refrigerators in China. Qin Feng didn''t bother to do it. Therefore, the family specially bought two double door refrigerators and put them together. That''s a double door refrigerator.


    There are two refrigerators full of new year goods made at home. All kinds of food.


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