When does it open on the first day of the first month?

It opens at eight o'clock on New Year's morning.

The first day refers to the first day of each month in the lunar calendar. As the saying goes, "A year's plan lies in spring, and a day's plan lies in the morning." Naturally, the first day of each month is also very important. Of course, the most important thing is the first day of the first month, which is the first day of the year. Since ancient times, there have been many customs, such as gathering wealth, drinking, setting off firecrackers, occupying the New Year, and greeting the New Year.

Festival custom

1, open the door and set off firecrackers

When the door is opened in the morning of the Spring Festival, firecrackers are set off first, which is called "opening the door to set off firecrackers". After the firecrackers, the ground is broken red, which is the so-called "full house". At this time, the streets are full of anger and joy.

2. New Year greetings

On the first day of the new year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, and wish each other good luck in the coming year.

There are many ways to pay New Year's greetings, some of which are led by the same patriarch from door to door. Some colleagues invited several people to pay New Year greetings; Others get together to congratulate each other. This is called "group worship". Because it takes time and effort to pay New Year greetings at home, some elites and scholars later congratulated each other with famous cards, thus developing the later "New Year cards".
