What are the customs in Shenzhen for the New Year?

1, "28-year-old, washing sloppy", you must thoroughly clean the house before the Chinese New Year, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

2. Generally, people in Shenzhen begin to prepare for the Spring Festival from the afternoon of "New Year's Eve", sticking up door gods and Spring Festival couplets, taking kitchen gods into the house, worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping ancestors and so on. The whole family should wash "Dajishui" (with orange peel, grapefruit leaves, etc. ) when taking a shower.

As a matter of fact, the real flavor of Spring Festival begins with the firecrackers on the first day of New Year's Day. On New Year's Day, everyone will light "head guns" or "head incense" at nearby ancestral temples and temples.

4. "New Year's stream, sleep late." On New Year's Day, the whole family got up early and couldn't sleep after getting up. After washing, I greeted my parents and elders at home: "Good morning for the New Year!"

There is also a custom on the first day of Chinese New Year. Today, many people who are not Buddhists eat Sanzhai, because "fasting" and "disaster" are homophonic, and "fasting" means "eliminating disaster". At the same time, you can't sweep the floor, you can't sweep firecrackers everywhere at the gate of the courtyard, and let it flourish; If there is rubbish, don't take it out, for fear of losing your fortune. If there are peels, melon seeds and candy crumbs, wrap them up and put them under the bed to "gather wealth".

6. There is a saying in Shenzhen that "there is a lion in the east", that is, Hakka dances Kirin in the east and lions in the vernacular area in the west. During the New Year, the Kirin team and the lion dance team of each village go to the neighboring villages of the same clan to pay New Year greetings and contact their feelings.

7. In Hakka villages and towns, they don't go out to pay New Year's greetings until the second day of the Lunar New Year, while married women "go abroad" with their husbands and children; There are also some villages that "leave their homes" on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and go to pay New Year greetings to their parents-in-law the next day.
