What is the custom on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

On the first morning of the Lunar New Year, people get up at dawn. The first thing for every household is to set off the "opening cannon", that is, to open the door and announce the beginning of the new year. Firecrackers all over the city are ringing, symbolizing sending the old to welcome the new and receiving blessings, commonly known as "receiving the year".

The following year:

Before the reunion dinner, there will be a ceremony to celebrate the coming year (about to worship God): light a pair of red candles and two incense sticks, and put two pots of vegetables in front of them. One pot is Tuannian fish, and the other pot is rich, with pig heads, pig tails and pig feet. In the past, every household raised pigs and killed pigs in the new year, so they kept pig heads, pig tails and pig feet to worship God in the coming year. Most people don't raise pigs now, so they worship God.

There is also a chicken with a stout garlic and a kitchen knife on it. There is also a ceremony to set off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, which is usually held in the morning, and a reunion dinner will be prepared after the New Year.
