Introduce the Spring Festival custom in Shanghang (about 400 words)

Sticking Spring Festival couplets-Before New Year's Eve, every household sticks red paper couplets on their doors. Chen's name in the center of the door is written as "Yingchuan Hall", and the couplets on both sides are written as "Welcome New Year, Celebrate the Festival" or "Yingchuan Shize, Taishi Jiasheng".

On New Year's Eve-(Hakka: New Year's Eve), we worship the gods in the morning, ancestors in the temple at night, and ancestors in the ancestral temple or hall. Each person chooses three sacrifices, and the paper treasure runs at both ends. These three animals that have worshipped God can worship their ancestors again, and finally they will be removed from the table of the Eight Immortals for family reunion dinner. Everyone must take a bath on New Year's Eve, or there will be a legend that he will become a cow in his next life. On the first day of New Year's Eve, I usually don't sleep in the early morning of the first day. At that time, firecrackers and gongs and drums will be played loudly to congratulate each other, visit the God of Wealth, and then worship the ancestors. Being a vegetarian on the first day means not only giving the stomach a rest, but also fasting and purifying the body. Don't sweep the floor or take a bath on the first day of the first year, which means don't drive away the wealth.
