New Year customs

Fortune-telling: In the past, due to the sunny weather in the first few days of the new government, people designated this year as the New Year. Its theory began with Dong Fangshuo's "year after year", which means that after one year, there will be eight days, one day is rooster day, two days is dog day, three days is pig day, four days is sheep day, five days is ox day, six days is horse day, seven days is human day and eight days is valley day. If the weather is sunny, things that belong to it will breed, if the weather is cloudy, the days that belong to it will not last. 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 as good luck.

Happy New Year: Happy New Year is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their blessings to each other. On the afternoon of New Year's Day, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders after getting up, 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).
