The custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in Guangzhou

From the 27th to the New Year's Eve, Guangzhou people go to the temporary market on the designated road or square to enjoy flowers and buy flowers slowly, and pay attention to "sticking and hugging". "Flower Street" used to be a spot sale of flowerpot fruit prices, but now it is a market test of creative handicrafts. The motivation of "walking in the flower street" stems from the good wishes of men and women to "walk in the peach blossom" and "walk in good luck and abandon bad luck"

2. Red paper

When people in Guangfu decorate peach blossoms or potted flowers at home, they hang a profit seal with low-value cash or an auspicious seal without cash, wrap orange pots with auspicious red paper, and tie daffodil feet with red gauze or red paper. The red paper products or red gauze used are collectively referred to as "red paper".

It represents the meaning of happiness and good luck. Sometimes, the distribution of the market is modest and low-key: "Lili City, a red paper!"

3. Head and tail

Vegetables and fruit dishes prepared many years ago pay great attention to the integrity of their forms. They are called "having a head and a tail, flourishing branches and leaves", which means "having a tidy family".

In order to conform to the custom of Guangfu, farmers set up stalls: lettuce with roots (making money), oranges with leaves (auspicious) and sugarcane with sugarcane leaves (sweet). Later, worshipping God also talked about flexibility. The roast pig is too big, and the roast with skin is on it.

4. Fast food

Fasting on the first day of the first lunar month is a Chinese New Year eating custom in Guangfu area, which not only has the motivation of praying to the gods, fasting and burning incense, but also has the need of keeping healthy and adjusting vegetarian diet after the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. I used to be a vegetarian all day, but now I am a flexible vegetarian for breakfast and lunch.

On the first day, the fast food started with breakfast: step by step rice cake, water chestnut cake from horse to success, prosperous Osmanthus Jelly, and big fat cake that makes a fortune.
