It depicts the grand festival scene of China people celebrating the Spring Festival. Firecrackers are a sign of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and also an expression of festive atmosphere. Business people. Setting off firecrackers has another meaning: they set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve to make a fortune in the new year. But according to the old custom, respecting the god of wealth should be the first, and setting off firecrackers should be the last.

Like many other places in China, Zhejiang, my hometown, has the same customs during the Spring Festival. For example:

stay up late or all night on New Year's Eve

In our country, people have the habit of observing the New Year's Eve, commonly known as "forbearing the Year". Watching the new year begins with eating New Year's Eve dinner.

According to Zonggu's records of Jingchu's age, there was a custom of New Year's Eve dinner at least in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The custom of observing the old age not only includes the feeling of farewell and nostalgia for the fleeting time, but also expresses the good hope for the coming New Year.
