During the New Year in China, posting a pair of red Spring Festival couplets also indicates a good omen for the coming year. Spring Festival couplets are generally written with auspicious words, which is also people's expectation for the new year. The custom of Bao jiaozi is in the north of China. It is said that because jiaozi is shaped like a gold ingot, eating two gold ingots during the New Year is also a good wish for the coming year.

Legend has it that Nian is a beast. It is afraid of light and sound, so every family lights up and sets off firecrackers on New Year's Eve just to drive away the New Year. Keeping New Year's Eve is also to drive away the New Year, and eat it from dusk to late at night. New Year's Eve is a symbol of family reunion. The family sat together, noisy and round.
