What are the traditional festivals with different customs between North and South?

Traditional festivals with different customs in the north and south.

First, "off-year" time is different. The off-year in the north is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the off-year in the south is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. On the day of "off-year", the common custom of the north and the south is to offer sacrifices to the stove to sweep the dust. Legend has it that this day is the day when the kitchen god goes to heaven, so every household will put the portrait of the kitchen god on the altar, and then put candy, water, beans and grass next to it. These last three are the materials for the kitchen god's mount when he ascended to heaven, and candy is used to block the kitchen god's mouth. Let him "speak well in heaven and keep peace in the next life."

Second, the staple food on New Year's Eve is different. In the north, it is common for families to sit around and watch the Spring Festival Gala, and then package jiaozi. In order to get lucky, northerners will also put coins, sugar, peanuts, dates, chestnuts and other festive colors in the jiaozi. Because the shape of jiaozi is very similar to that of an ingot, it also means "get rich in the New Year, and the ingot rolls in". The staple food of southerners is rice cakes or glutinous rice balls. Because the homonym of rice cakes is "Niangao", which means that the years are getting higher and higher and the days are getting more and more prosperous.

Third, the breakfast in the north and the south is different the next day. On the second day, the first meal in the north is to eat noodles, and the south is to eat New Year's Eve. The custom of eating noodles in the north comes from the agricultural proverb "jiaozi eats noodles on the second day of the first grade", and the noodles made must be left over from jiaozi the day before. Everything goes well in the new year. In addition to eating some dishes with good meanings, some business people will spread Flammulina velutipes and lettuce together to make money everywhere or make money.
