What are the customs of Hengshui Spring Festival?

In the folk custom of Hengshui, some people start to buy new year's goods as soon as they enter the twelfth lunar month to prepare for the New Year. As the Spring Festival approaches, the "flavor of the year" is getting stronger and stronger. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Chinese New Year began. On this day, "Chinese New Year" will be celebrated, and every household will make a kitchen stove at night-a kitchen god who has been posted for a year? Take it off and burn it, and hire a new chef? When you pick up the kitchen king.

According to Hengshui folk custom, the house should be cleaned on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, which means to sweep away the dust and filth for one year and greet the arrival of the New Year cleanly. Every household has cleaned the inside and out, changed their accustomed furniture and moved to a new place. Colourful New Year pictures are pasted at appropriate positions in the room, door gods and Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the door, and the word "Fu" is pasted on the screen wall.

During the Spring Festival, people put the gods they have already bought? New Year pictures are posted in their respective positions, God? There are candles burning incense below. People kowtow to the ancestral portraits painted with three generations of clansmen in the house to show that they don't forget the kindness of their ancestors, and wish them long-term protection for their descendants. People burn incense in the yard and pay tribute to the images depicting the gods of heaven and earth, hoping to live a rich and safe life in the coming year.
