The meaning of New Year greetings

New Year greeting 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 best wishes to each other. In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to pay New Year greetings to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating them on a happy New Year and greeting their lives. In case of friends and relatives of the same generation, you should also salute and congratulate. With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings is constantly adding new contents and forms. In addition to following the previous New Year greetings, etiquette telegrams, telephone calls, short messages and online New Year greetings also came into being.

The specific time choice for New Year's greetings.

Generally speaking, people choose to pay New Year greetings to their elders in the morning, and don't get up too early during festivals, because people usually get up very late during festivals. If you visit your home too early, you will often catch your host off guard. If the New Year greeting is hosted by a New Year greeting person, the time of the New Year greeting can be determined according to the time of the dinner. Arrive early, don't wait until dinner time. Time should be reserved for greeting and chatting. Make an appointment in advance before New Year's greetings. Don't miss the plane or make an empty trip with the host's other New Year greetings just because the host also goes out to pay New Year greetings. At the same time, give the host a time to prepare in advance. It's best to give the host a choice when making an appointment. Don't set the time unilaterally. It is better for both parties to be convenient when making an appointment.
