The Spring Festival custom in Northeast China, like many northern regions, still retains some ancient customs. On New Year's Eve, first of all, the whole family offered sacrifices to their ancestors, burned incense and lit candles, and offered sacrifices widely, bowing to the three generations of gods according to their generations to show their death. Later, a family dinner was held, in which the elders sat on the table and the younger generation sat on the table, which meant "the first reunion". Food and fruit must be rich, making people feel full, which indicates that they will have plenty of food and clothing and a prosperous career in the coming year. This meal is the first time to taste New Year's food, so you can eat both meat and vegetables. Usually, there should be stewed pork, stewed mutton, rice flour meat, braised elbow strips, Yuanbao meat, South fried meatballs, Four Joy Meetballs, frozen chicken, frozen fish, frozen pork, bean paste, fermented bean curd, mustard tuber, spicy mustard tuber, fried pickles and other New Year's Eve dishes. During the dinner, the young and the old wished each other, and the brothers pushed a cup for a change and enjoyed family happiness. After dinner, the children scattered sesame stalks all over the yard and walked on them, which was called "stepping on the old"; Then the spring lanterns hanging indoors and outdoors are lit together, and the New Year pictures and spring strips are illuminated on the four walls, and the indoor and outdoor lights are brilliant. On the "Heaven and Earth Table", there are "Eighteen Buddhas in Three Places, Three Boundaries" or "Hundred Books" (photo album of the gods of heaven and earth) printed with rhubarb paper. There are cakes, honey, fresh noodles, fruits, vegetarian dishes, rice cakes and rice as offerings, as well as high golden red candles and meridian incense to welcome the blessings from the gods below. In order to cherish the past years, men, women and children have to stay up all night and engage in different recreational activities, which is called "guarding the old age". Children have always played at will, shaking diabolo, spinning top, twisting the map, throwing dice, playing cow cards, playing the glass trumpet, playing the harmonica, playing shadow play, lighting lanterns, playing "Didi Jiner", "mouse excrement" and "yellow smoke with guns" ... The old ladies sat together to play cards, mahjong and ten iron rings. In entertainment places, there are fresh fruits, sweets, dried fruits, warm and simple, fried red fruits, candied begonia and so on. They are all added, and you can eat and have fun until you are "inspired". At midnight, firecrackers came and went, shaking the earth all night. "Silver flowers are rusty all over the sky, and the streets are thick with smoke." Every family gathered at the table of heaven and earth to burn incense and worship, and offered vegetarian dumplings to welcome the gods down to earth. After the ceremony, it was announced that the old year had passed and the new year was coming. This is a solemn moment of "five hours divided into two years". The whole family said "New Year's Eve" to each other, the younger generation would kowtow to the elders in class, and the elders would introduce "lucky money" to the underage children one by one. At last, the whole family had a vegetarian meal in jiaozi, which was called "jiaozi" and "jiaozi Reunion". Only one of hundreds of jiaozi has coins, which means that people who eat this jiaozi will have a good year. [ 19]

Tianjin Tianjin people call the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month "Labaer" and have the custom of drinking Labaer porridge. Many Tianjin people still soak garlic in vinegar on this day, which is called "Laba vinegar". Since the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, all kinds of new year's goods have been listed one after another, and Gongnangong North Street with Niangniang Palace as the axis is even more lively. The first goal for boys to go to Niangniang Palace is the wind gourd. Adult men can't forget to buy lanterns when they come here. Most women come to "wash dolls". The "dolls" tied back from Niangniang Palace have to be "washed once a year", which is something that women must complete before the festival. The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the kitchen god ascended to heaven. Everyone should buy honeydew melons and wait until evening 12 to worship the kitchen god. After the incense is burned, please come down from the statue of Kitchen God, light it and burn it. You can buy a new statue of the kitchen god on New Year's Eve, which is commonly known as the "kitchen god size" and change it every year. Tianjin also has the custom of hanging money during the Spring Festival. Hanging money is a pattern cut and engraved with colored paper and pasted on the glass and horizontal edge of doors and windows as an ornament of the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival. The posted money can only be damaged on the fifth day of the first month, otherwise it will mean a bad year. Tianjin people call the fifth day of the first month "breaking the fifth day". On this day, every household will eat jiaozi, and the chopping board will jingle so that the neighbors can hear it to show that they are chopping "little people". Tianjin people attribute all unhappy things to "little people", and only by getting rid of "little people" can they prosper. Setting off firecrackers on the fifth night also means avoiding evil spirits and disasters.

Lunar New Year's Day: The Jade Emperor debuted 10, 1 1, firecrackers were set off in the countryside, and tables were set in the courtyard. Tributes should be placed on the table, and incense and paper should be burned. People call it "paper distribution". Of course, there are others, such as using mats to build a "heaven and earth building" to worship the gods. In many rural areas of Shandong Province, the custom of kowtowing to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Day has been preserved. Before dawn, all the men in the family should kowtow to their elders and give "lucky money" to their children when they pay New Year greetings. After breakfast, all the women in the family kowtow to their elders to pay New Year's greetings. On the second day of New Year's Day, in some places, there is a national custom that men go to ancestral graves to worship their ancestors. They should bring rich tributes, paper money, incense platinum and a lot of firecrackers to comfort their ancestors and gods. The third and fourth days are the days of visiting relatives. Shanxi people in Shanxi are busy preparing for the New Year after Laba Festival, and the atmosphere is getting stronger every day. Wang Min's 23rd and 24th are the days of cleaning, commonly known as "Hu Cleaning Day". Since then, the preparations for the whole year have reached a climax. There used to be a proverb in Taiyuan: "Grinding bean curd is twenty-five, working is twenty-six, going to the market is twenty-seven, pasting is twenty-eight, drinking is twenty-nine, and jiaozi is thirty." On New Year's Eve, every family stays up all night, commonly known as "old age". As soon as the rooster crows, they start burning incense, lighting lamps, offering offerings, setting off fireworks, offering sacrifices to their ancestors, and then the whole family pays New Year greetings to each other. Children kowtow to their elders to pay New Year greetings, and elders give them lucky money for good luck. During the New Year in China, businessmen's families are the most pious to offer sacrifices to the God of Wealth. Datong area is rich in coal resources, which is bound to have various connections with the local people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. On New Year's Eve, every household should build a tower in front of the courtyard with large pieces of coal, which is called Wanghuo, in order to be auspicious and congratulate the prosperity all year round. Firewood was put in it, and a big red note was written on it, "Anger to heaven". At midnight, when firecrackers are ringing, light a strong fire. After being ignited, the flame spouted from countless small holes, just like a floating picture, which is both warm and spectacular. Adults and children gather in a circle, some play games, some set off firecrackers, and men, women and children will come to keep warm in order to "soar".
