The saying of "setting off firecrackers" has existed since ancient times. When the new year comes, the first thing for every household to open the door is to set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Worship God and set off firecrackers in the morning. On the morning of the first day, we worship Tai Sui God with vegetarian food. We must be vegetarian for breakfast, including vermicelli, yuba, Nostoc flagelliforme and mushrooms. Eat all the vegetarian dishes that should be eaten this year in the morning, so that you can eat big fish and big meat later.

The meaning of New Year's greetings is to visit relatives and friends, congratulate each other on the New Year, and express feelings for relatives and friends and good wishes for life in the new year.

Step 4 open the market

During the old custom Spring Festival, large and small shops closed together from the beginning of the New Year, but opened on the fifth day of the first month. People are used to taking the fifth day of the first month as the holy day of the god of wealth, thinking that choosing this day to open the market will definitely make a fortune.

Step 5 gather wealth

It is said that the first day of the first month is the birthday of a broom, so you can't use a broom on this day, otherwise it will ruin your fortune, attract a "broom star" and cause bad luck. If you must sweep the floor, you must sweep it from the outside to the inside. Don't throw water on the garbage on this day, for fear of breaking the money. Today, this custom still remains in many places. Don't put a broom or take out the garbage on New Year's Eve. Prepare a big barrel of waste water to avoid splashing outside that day.
