As the first day of the year, it is of great significance and has the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Every household will set off firecrackers in the early morning, which is called a good start, representing driving away the bad luck of the year, welcoming the auspicious atmosphere and praying for a more prosperous day.

Children will put on new clothes and set off fireworks outside, while children at home will pay New Year greetings to the elderly, receive red envelopes and then visit other relatives. And many adults will go out with gifts to visit friends and visit relatives and friends everywhere. The street is full of excitement, and the owners who are ready to entertain guests will prepare rich snacks to welcome them.

New Year customs

Fortune-telling: In the old society, people regarded this year as the New Year because the weather was fine in the first few days after the establishment of the new government. Its theory began in Dong Fangshuo's "Year", which means that eight days after the year, one day is chicken day, two days are dogs, three days are pigs, four days are sheep, five days are cows, six days are horses, seven days are people and eight days are valleys. If it is sunny, things that belong to it will breed, if it is cloudy, the days that belong to it will not last long. Later generations follow their habits and think that the weather is sunny from the first day to the tenth day, and there is no wind or snow for good luck.

Happy New Year: Happy New Year is a traditional folk custom in China. It is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new and express their best wishes to each other. In the afternoon of the first day, after the younger generation gets up, they should first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation (the above contents are for reference only).
