在中国,小孩儿的满月酒和抓周仪式独具特色。在孩子的成长过程中,这两个仪式有里程碑式的纪念意义。
小孩儿出生满一个月的那天,孩子的家人一般要招呼亲朋挚友,邀请他们一起来庆祝孩子满月。按照中国的传统,这一天,家里会充满了喜庆和节日的氛围,满月就要办得热热闹闹才行。不过最近这些年,这个习俗在城市尤其是年轻夫妇中有逐渐被淡化的趋势。但是,小孩儿满月对于每个家庭来说,仍然是一个非常值得纪念的高兴的日子。
“抓周儿”中的“周”是小孩儿满一周岁的意思。关于“抓周儿”,最早记载于北齐。“抓周儿”也就是在小孩儿满周岁那天,吃中午的长寿面之前,摆上经书、笔、墨、纸、砚、算盘、钱币、账册、首饰、花朵、胭脂、吃食、玩具等,如果是女孩儿则要加摆铲子、勺子(炊具)、剪子、尺子(缝纫用具)、绣线、花样子(刺绣用具),再由大人将小孩抱来,令其端坐,父母及他人不给予任何的引导或暗示,任孩子随意挑选,看他先抓什么,后抓什么,并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将从事的职业以及前途。
