【年初一】歡喜拜年迎新春
.
初一早晨，開門大吉，先放爆竹，叫做「開門炮仗」。爆竹聲聲，碎紅滿地，稱為「滿堂紅」，滿街祥瑞，喜氣洋洋。然後闔家開始吃初一餃子，包餃子時會在某個餃子裡包入錢幣，誰吃到了，就能在新的一年財源滾滾。
.
餃子吃畢後，開始串門拜大年，親朋好友、左鄰右舍彼此送禮道賀，恭祝新年如意、問候生活安好，祝福大吉大利。中國古代士大夫交際很廣，朋友眾多，若挨個登門拜年，時間根本不夠用，於是就用一種梅花箋紙裁成的紙條，上面寫有受賀人的姓名、恭賀話語，由僕人送到其家中，這就是最早賀年卡片的起源。
.
有的大戶人家還特設「門簿」，記錄客人的往來和賀信，第一頁的頁首大多虛擬四個來訪人物：一曰「壽百齡」老太爺，住百歲巷；二曰「富有餘」老爺，住元寶街；三曰「貴無極」大人，住大學士牌樓；四曰「福照臨」老爺，住五福樓。為的是圖吉利、討口彩。這一天，大家都會互道恭喜，歡歡喜喜四處拜年，祝福親友事事順心，身體健康。
.
世界各地的菩提禪堂在正月初一也有「上頭香」的活動，歡迎大家到禪堂上香祈福，為全家求得平安順利、如意吉祥。
.
祝福大家新年快樂，吉祥如意，心想事成！

除夕餃子餡包什麼? . . 後天，就是除…
除夕餃子餡包什麼?
.
.
後天，就是除夕闔家圍爐的日子，來說個笑話給大家笑一笑，放鬆一下這一整年工作的辛勞！
.
有一對年邁的老夫妻，一輩子勤勤奮奮的，在年三十這天，老頭子突發奇想的說：「老婆呀！今年的除夕夜咱們別吃芹菜餡的餃子了，老是勤勤勞勞的一輩子也該改改了。老婆頭不抬眼不睜的問：「那你說吧，今年該吃啥餡料？」
.
老頭子說：「馬齒莧菜的餡不錯！有『長壽』之寓意。」
老婆樂呵呵的說：「好啊！挺吉祥的，那你去買馬齒莧菜，我來準備餃子皮。」
.
老頭子大聲的答：「好呀！好呀！」
.
一上午很快過去了，老頭子還沒起身去買馬齒莧。中午老婆催了又催，老頭子準備要出門了，忽然想起兒子送給他的ipad農場還有蘿蔔、青菜還沒收，急忙打開ipad農場，一看，哇！我辛辛苦苦種好的蘿蔔、青菜，竟然被人拿去了大半。老頭子心想：「大過年的，該要豐收過好年呀，就蹲在ipad前一陣猛灑豆子，等著農作收成，不想時間一分一秒的過去，天竟這樣給擦黑了。
.
老婆見老伴蹲在ipad前磨菇一整天，斜著眼問：「老頭子，除夕的馬齒莧菜哪？」
.
老頭子瞅著電腦回：「等著，還沒熟哪？」
.
弄得老婆哭笑不得，只好把餃皮給捏實了(夯實)，
這年的除夕夜，倆老破例的吃了一回全餡餃子金元寶！！
.
今年春節，您的金元寶餃子給夯實了嗎？???

What’s in for the filling of Lunar New Year eve’s dumpling?
The day after tomorrow is the eve of lunar new year’s reunion dinner. Let’s share a joke with everyone here. Time to relax after a whole year of hard work!
There was once a pair of diligent elderly couple who had worked hard all their life, on the eve of lunar new year, the old man suddenly said whimsically: “We always eat dumpling with celery filling on eve of lunar new year , shall we have a change this year? It’s time for a change after working so hard throughout our life (In Mandarin, celery sounded like “working hard”). His wife without lifting her head or batting an eye asked: “Then what do you suggest for the filling?”
The old man said: “It will be great to have Chinese chives stuffing. It’s auspicious as there is liquor and vegetable (Chinese chives sounded like “liquor” and “vegetable” in Mandarin). His wife replied happily: “Well! It’s very auspicious, then can you go and buy the chives whilst I prepare the dumpling skin.”
The old man replied loudly ” Great!”
Morning passed by quickly, and the old man did not go and buy the chives. At noon, his wife reminded him repeatedly. When the old man was ready to go out, he suddenly remembered that in the ipad that his son gave him, there were still radish, and vegetables that had not been harvested, he hurriedly opened the ipad farm to take a look, Wow! Half of the vegetables that I have grown have been taken away . The old man thought: “In the coming lunar new year, we should have a good harvest, and squatted before the Ipad to sprinkle beans, waiting for the harvest, time just slipped by and before he realized, the day had ended.
The wife saw her spouse squatting beside the ipad looking at the mushrooms all day long, She asked: “Old man, so where is the chives that you were supposed to buy for the dumpling filling for eve of lunar new year?”
The old man staring at the ipad replied ” Wait, it is still not ready for harvest”.
His wife was dumbfounded, she has no choice but to mould the dumpling skin into shape of gold ingot. For lunar new year eve this year, the old couple ate gold ingot dumpling without any filling!
This year Spring Festival , are your golden ingot dumplings filled with chives?
