What are the customs from New Year's Eve to the sixth day?

1, New Year's Eve: except blinking and celebrating reunion around the stove.

Every New Year's Eve, both officials and ordinary people sit around the stove all night, which is called "Shounian". Eating New Year's Eve and drinking Tu Su wine are also essential habits. New Year's Eve dinner is also called "reunion dinner" and "overnight dinner". Northerners must eat jiaozi for New Year's Eve dinner, which means "having children in the coming year". Southerners eat more rice cakes. Jiaozi is in the shape of an ingot, and the rice cake has the homonym of "rice cake".

2, the first day: the first day of spring is auspicious.

On the first day of the first month, we pay attention to setting off firecrackers: when we open the door in the morning of the Spring Festival, we set off firecrackers first, which is called "setting off firecrackers". After firecrackers, the ground is broken red, which is called "full house". The most important custom on this day is to let the household utensils "rest", or rather, not work. It is also to let people who have worked hard for a year have a good rest.

3, the second day: the second day of the New Year is a happy return.

On the second day of New Year's Day, the married daughter will take her husband and children back to her family to pay New Year's greetings. On this day, the daughter who goes back to her parents' house must bring some gifts and red envelopes to her children, eat and live in her parents' house, commonly known as "staying at her parents' house".

4. Grade 3: Eat tribute at home.

Folk customs this day is called "Poor People's Day", and every household will "sweep the poor" in the early morning of the third day, and sweep out the garbage accumulated for two days from the first day to the second day, meaning to sweep away the dirty and unlucky folk customs. This day, also known as "Akaguchi Day", is forbidden to visit. People don't go out to pay New Year greetings, and going out can easily lead to quarrels with others.

5. Day 4: Sacrifice the God of Wealth on the fourth day of the year.

The fourth day of the first month is called "sheep day", that is, the birthday of the sheep, the legendary day when the gods in the sky came down to earth. Prepare offerings such as incense sticks, food and fruits. Set up the incense table, light the sacrificial paper and paper, and set off firecrackers, symbolizing asking the gods to ride to the lower bound. People use this ceremony to receive the gods and express their respect for the gods in the sky.

6. Day 5: Happy New Year.

On the fifth day of the first month, it was called "Cow Day" in ancient times, that is, the birthday of cows, also called "Breaking the Fifth Festival" and "Sending the Poor Day". According to folklore, there are many taboos before breaking the five-year plan, and all of them can be broken after this day. No longer taboo, they began to visit each other and congratulate each other.

7. Day 6: Go to work.

The sixth day of the first month is horse day, which was called fat in ancient times. On the fifth day of the fifth year, the poor were sent out. On the sixth day, they went to the fields to prepare for spring ploughing. On this day, people really began to farm or do business. Now many businesses also choose the sixth day as an auspicious day for the opening of the new year.
