What folk customs are there during the Spring Festival?

The custom of New Year in China is different in every place. So today I will talk about the customs of my hometown. First of all, I am a Hakka in Meizhou, Guangdong, so we Hakka people pay more attention to the ancestral hall, and we are all in the ancestral hall. Like my hometown, every family goes to the temple to worship their ancestors on the morning of the 30 th of each year. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, we will go to the mountain and worship at the graves of our ancestors. We call it "lighting a lamp". The moral of lighting the lamp is: tell the ancestors that today is the last day of the year, and hope that the ancestors will bless the people in the coming year with smooth sailing and aboveboard. When we come back from lighting the lamp, rain or shine, each of us should take a bath and put on new clothes. Clean up the house, because you can't bring a broom and a knife to the first day of junior high school, so prepare the first meal of junior high school. But we all eat vegetarian food at the first meal of the New Year. After lighting the lamp to cool down, we began to have a reunion dinner. Have a reunion dinner, drink tea at home and watch the Spring Festival Gala. Every household will set off fireworks at night 10:00, and the village square will also set off fireworks after 12:00 in the morning.

On the morning of the first day, after getting up, we will give bonuses to children and the elderly. Have breakfast at eight. Our breakfast is vegetarian. It's almost nine o'clock after dinner, and the lion dance team is almost home. Then we will give the lion dance team 100 lanterns. In fact, the original flavor of Chinese New Year in our countryside is still relatively heavy. On the first night, every household has a dragon dance. I will go to various ancestral temples to beat gongs and drums 15 minutes.

The customs of each place may be different. We have a custom here. We will cut our hair on the 27th of the lunar calendar, which means that both adults and children will cut their hair on the 27th. This man is clever and witty, and a fool will get a haircut on the 29th day. So we will queue up for a haircut here on the morning of 27th, and buy a packet of sesame candy to incense the old stove owner on 23rd. Every family will make bowls of jiaozi's first pot on New Year's Eve, and then they can eat it with incense. If someone dies in this year, they are also very particular about visiting relatives. They must visit relatives after the fifth day of the fifth year, and they can't paste red couplets until the fourth year of the third year. This is a rule left by the older generation. Simply put, this is a respect for the deceased, and the second daughter goes home.
