Guangzhou Customs

1. Guangzhou's annual Winter jasmine market Guangzhou is known as the Flower City, with a history of 1000 years. Nowadays, the annual Winter jasmine market has attracted the attention of the world and become a major folk custom in Guangzhou. On the eve of the Spring Festival every year, the streets and alleys of Guangzhou are filled with flowers and bonsai, and all major parks are holding Spring Festival exhibitions. Especially three days before New Year's Eve, colorful buildings and flower stands were set up on the main streets of various districts, and flower farmers from four towns flocked to set up flower markets to sell and enjoy flowers. The crowds are surging, and the flowers in Shili Strip are in full bloom and the crowds are surging. It didn't disperse until the early morning of the first day. This is Guangzhou. It is the custom of Guangzhou to send "gifts" during the Spring Festival. In interpersonal communication, we must be "polite". Of course, the so-called "profit" refers to red envelopes. When friends and relatives meet, adults should "make profits" for their children. Among the citizens in Guangzhou, the citizen class is very particular about giving them double envelopes, but there is no limit to the amount of money inside, but it is impolite not to be "profitable", so it is better to bring more red envelopes when visiting Guangzhou people's homes during the Spring Festival to avoid trouble. Even at the entrance of the shopping center, kumquat trees will be covered with "plums", and picking them will bring good luck.

In order to welcome the flower market on Lunar New Year's Eve, people began to prepare one month before the Spring Festival, and strings of flowers hanging on trees can be seen everywhere in the suburbs. A few days before the arrival of the Flower Market on Lunar New Year's Eve, Guangzhou Flower Market has been set up one after another, and many people have come one after another to buy back a pair of bright flowers and put them in bottles to decorate their homes with vitality and spring. On the day of the flower market, a sea of people merged into a huge and warm heat flow. On New Year's Eve, the flower market reached its climax.
