Speaking of Chinese New Year, although there is still a period of time, many people can't wait to go back to their parents' homes. New Year's Day is of great significance to China people. It has been passed down for thousands of years. There are many customs on New Year's Day, including opening doors to set off firecrackers, drinking Tu Su wine brewed by ourselves and paying New Year's greetings.

Open the door and set off firecrackers.

Setting off firecrackers is the most common custom in China during the New Year. 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". Put three pieces called "Lianzhong Sanyuan"; Put four pieces called "Flo Xi Shou"; Put five pieces called "Five Blessingg"; Put six pieces called "66 Dashun"? 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. Everyone meets and says "Happy New Year" to each other, and this new year begins. At present, it is forbidden to set off fireworks and firecrackers in many places, so you must check the local regulations in advance before setting off fireworks.

Drink Tu Su wine.

In ancient times, many people would brew Tu Su wine by themselves. Tu Su wine is a kind of medicinal liquor. In the ancient custom, the whole family drank Tu Su wine on January Day to eliminate unhealthy tendencies. In ancient times, Tu Su wine was drunk in a unique way. Most people drink alcohol, always starting from the elderly; But drinking Tu Su wine is just the opposite, starting with the smallest. Perhaps young people grow up day by day, drinking first to congratulate them, and old people drinking late to retain them. Tu Su wine, also called Nian wine, is said to have been invented by Hua Tuo.

Worship the elderly

There is a custom of paying New Year greetings in ancient times. Welcome the new year on the morning of the first day of the year and worship the "Year God". "Sui", also known as "country" and "Tai Sui", is an ancient star name. Tai sui is also a god of folk beliefs. At the age of 60, with the chronology of cadres and branches of 60 Jiazi as the running cycle, there are 60 people. There are old gods on duty every year. In those days, the traditional duty was called "traditional duty", which was the master of the year and was in charge of good and bad luck in the world. For example, in the Three Commandments, it is said that "the man who is too old, the one-year-old Lord, and the head of the gods". Paying New Year greetings is the oldest traditional New Year custom in China. This custom is still popular in some parts of our country.
