After an unknown amount of time, both Qin Feng and Amuro Namie's stomachs began to growl.

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

Qin Feng smiled.

"You're hungry, but during the Chinese Spring Festival, 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 take action!" Namie Amuro smiled and nodded.

"Then you go over and wait for me while I change my clothes!" Qin Feng said.

You must know that this night, Qin Feng had both hands under the quilt and did not dare to come out. There was no way, there were two girls in his arms.

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

Looking again at this time, the two women were already fast asleep, lying on the bed like kittens, very well-behaved.

Qin Feng got up, quietly got out of bed, and put on his clothes. But after thinking about it, he came back and put on Shen Manli's pajamas. Otherwise, he would have to wait until he woke up and slept naked with Yi Hannuo. Together, I don't know what will happen.

Of course, Qin Feng must admit that he also had some bad intentions. Before this, he was very worried. If he hadn't been disturbed by Namie Amuro, Qin Feng didn't know what he would have done. At this moment, he should just give up. Point interest.

Tsk tsk tsk! Qin Feng must admit that his squad leader has really grown up. However, Qin Feng did not dare to look more for fear of waking up the two daughters.

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

"Look, these dishes are all prepared at home during our Chinese New Year!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "During the Spring Festival, there will be many relatives visiting the house, and then we will prepare a lot of food, drinks, and... There are snacks. Occasionally, there will be a mahjong table at home, ready to play mahjong, poker and so on!"

"It's so interesting!" Namie Amuro said with a smile, "We in Japan celebrate the New Year. Although it is also very lively, there are not so many people! And it is not a lunar calendar, ours is a solar calendar!"

Gregorian Spring Festival! Qin Feng knew this. After all, he had stayed in Japan for a while and had some understanding of some Japanese customs.

In fact, Japan celebrates the Spring Festival. As a celestial country, some countries around China are influenced by Chinese customs and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival. Especially Japan, before the Han Dynasty, Japan learned from China, mainly The method of "inviting people in" was adopted to obtain advanced technological civilization from the Chinese people who went to Japan. After the Han Dynasty, Japan began to send people to China to proactively learn advanced culture. By the Tang Dynasty, Japan's craze for learning from China gradually increased.

Since the late 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 Chinese lunar year, the Japanese New Year habits are similar to those of the Chinese.

However, in the 19th century, the situation changed.

In Asia in the mid-19th century, Japan was in the era of 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 also not allowing Japanese from abroad. When people returned home, it was even forbidden to build ships suitable for ocean voyages.

However, in some economically developed areas, the seeds of capitalism appeared, impacting the feudal natural economy and fundamentally shaking the foundation of the shogunate's rule. Businessmen felt that the old system was severely restricting their development, so they began to call for reform.

The political system formed an alliance with the vassal princes, samurai, and grassroots farmers to "reverse the curtain".

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 of them was the abolition of

Spring Festival.

Is this because China at that time, that is, the Manchu and Qing government was too ignorant and backward and wanted to draw a clear line with the Manchu and Qing government? Or, in other words, the Japanese government during the Meiji Restoration era felt that it was too powerful and wanted to separate from the past.

What about drawing a clear line?

Of course not!

The reason is also very funny.

Before the Meiji Restoration, officials received monthly "monthly stipends", but there would be a leap month every few years in the lunar calendar, and payments had to be made every thirteen months. At that time, the new Meiji regime was facing the construction of modernization and required huge amounts of money.

Funds and treasury are empty.

Therefore, the Meiji government issued the "Calendar Change Edict" on November 9, 187 of the lunar calendar, deciding to abolish the lunar calendar and issue a solar calendar, using the upcoming January as January 1, 187. From then on, all festivals and other events in the old calendar

The month and day will all be implemented according to the corresponding dates of the new calendar. The result of changing the calendar is to save the government two months of financial expenditure, which has solved the financial difficulties to a large extent.

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

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

However, although there is no longer a legal Spring Festival in the lunar calendar, January 1 in the solar calendar is actually the Spring Festival in Japan.

On New Year's Day, every family decorates their houses with pines and cypresses. The night of December 31st is "New Year's Eve". On this night, every family eats reunion mustard noodles because the noodles represent longevity. On New Year's Eve, people are waiting at home or in temples.

The arrival of twelve o'clock at midnight is the same as the Chinese people waiting to hear the New Year's bell, but Japan's New Year's bell is unique.

At twelve o'clock, temples all over Japan will ring one hundred and eight bells, and the deep bells echo over the Japanese archipelago. After the "New Year's Eve Bell" rings, people each have different long-cherished wishes.

They kept walking to shrines and temples, visiting gods and worshiping Buddha, and wishing each other happy New Year the next day.

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

Qin Feng opened the refrigerator, which was filled with various Spring Festival dishes prepared at home.

At this time, there were no double-door refrigerators in China. Although they were already available in Europe and the United States, they were not available in China. Qin Feng did not bother to get one. Therefore, his family specially bought two double-door refrigerators and put them together.

A side-by-side refrigerator.

Inside, there are two refrigerators full of home-prepared New Year’s goods and all kinds of food.
