December 26 of Chinese Lunar CalendarCustom:butcher a pig and get some meat to prepare for the Spring Festival
The folk saying goes: "butcher a pig and get some meat to prepare for the New Year feast" on the 26th day of the 12th month in the Lunar calendar.中国有一句俗语:“杀猪割年肉。”农历腊月二十六正是杀猪割年肉的日子。When there was insufficient food in the past, the majority of ordinary people could enjoy a comparatively lavish feast only during the Spring Festival. Besides meat and fish, people also start to purchase cigarettes, wines, fruits, gifts and festive ornaments on the day.在物质不丰富的年代,大多寻常人家要到年节期间才能吃得丰富一些。割年肉主要指准备春节的肉食,实际上也代表各种年货可以从这一天开始置办,如鱼、肉,以及烟酒瓜果和礼品、装饰等。
