Fuqing is also the most distinctive Chinese New Year custom.

Fuqing Spring Festival is a custom to celebrate the Spring Festival. Fuqing people call it "Chinese New Year" and it is the most important folk festival in Fuqing. The folk activities of Fuqing Spring Festival began with "Diantang" (dust removal). Choose a lucky day between the 23rd and 30th of the lunar calendar1February, tie the newly cut bamboo branches as brooms, dust off the ceiling of the house, clean the courtyard, clean the furniture and utensils, and clean the house. It is said that pig blood has the function of removing filth and dust, and can also clean up the dust inhaled during the ceremony. Fuqing folk also has the folk custom of offering sacrifices to stoves. People set the 24th of the twelfth lunar month as the day of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god, such as candy, cakes and preserved fruits. Sending him back to heaven to report his work is called sending him to God. After dinner on the fourth day of the first month of the second year, I prepared incense sticks and fruits and took the chef back to his post. Although the kitchen map is no longer posted in the kitchen, this custom has been passed down, expressing people's good wishes for peace and success. After seeing off the kitchen gentleman, the "Send the Year" activity began. Fuqing has always regarded her son-in-law as a "half son". Every year, from the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the son-in-law will prepare new year's goods and send them to her parents-in-law. This is called "sending new year's goods". In the first year of marriage, the son-in-law must prepare a pair of pig's trotters, weighing five kilograms, five vegetarian dishes and ten pieces of etiquette, put them in a box, put red paper on them, and personally deliver them to her parents-in-law. After the second year, the number of etiquette can be arbitrary, but the taboo of "four" must be avoided. After the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, every household will post Spring Festival couplets. This custom is the same all over the country, but the Spring Festival couplets in Fuqing are also different. It adds a white couplet to the red couplet.
