Setting off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new is a traditional custom of China people. Countdown to 0 o'clock is the fashion of modern young people.

It is a one-sided understanding to be born in Xiao, not on New Year's Eve or Spring Festival. The Gregorian calendar method shall prevail, that is, the annual beginning of spring day/hour shall prevail: beginning of spring belongs to the old zodiac before a certain time, and those born after beginning of spring time belong to the new zodiac. Take 20 1 1 year as an example: people born before noon (12: 33) on February 4th of the first lunar month in beginning of spring should belong to tigers; (12: 33). Please remember this every year!
