Can I visit after the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month?

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is a traditional off-year in northern China, and the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is an off-year in southern China. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, "the 24th of the twelfth lunar month" and "the night before New Year's Eve" are both called off-year. In Nanjing, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month is called off-year. In some parts of Yunnan, it is a custom that has great influence and is widely spread in China.

Twenty-three families in the twelfth lunar month began to prepare new year's goods, so it is good to get together at a friend's house in a clean manner. The New Year has brought a new atmosphere, and also expressed the good wishes of the working people in China to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
