What's the difference between Chinese New Year in the south and Chinese New Year in the north?

In the south, the twelfth lunar month is twenty-four, and in the north, it is twenty-three.

Since childhood, many places have started the traditional custom of celebrating the New Year. The main work in the next year is to offer sacrifices to the kitchen stove and send the kitchen god. This is the same in the north and the south, but in the south, the twelfth lunar month is on the 24th, and in the north, it is on the 23rd. There are also some areas where the Lunar New Year is celebrated on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

New Year

South and North have different New Year greetings.

In the southern region, there is a custom of not spending money on New Year's Day, which means that money and blessings will not flow out in the new year. However, in the north, there is no such thing as paying attention to it. On the first day of the new year, you must get up early and then start to pay New Year greetings. In some places, you must kowtow to your elders, which means adding blessings to your elders and prolonging their life.

The south eats rice cakes or glutinous rice balls, and the north must eat jiaozi.

The new year's dish in the south must have rice cakes or glutinous rice balls, which means it rises year by year and is round and round. In the north, eating jiaozi mainly means having sex at a younger age. Besides jiaozi, a pair of bitter friends, there is also a food dispute between North and South about the New Year, and whether it is necessary to eat fish or oranges. Relatively speaking, the products and aquatic products in the south are more abundant. Eating fish means paying attention to it for more than a year, while eating oranges is because oranges are homophonic and have auspicious meanings. However, there is no such congenital condition in the north. Without water, there would be no fish and oranges could not grow in the north, so there are many different customs in the north and south.
