Baotou Spring Festival custom

Hospitality is a good habit of local people. Basically, as long as there are guests, Baotou people will warmly entertain them. Therefore, if we catch up with the Spring Festival, we will make some new year's goods that can be eaten for more than half a month in the first month. The local name is "steamer" (the custom is that young people can't do it now). The main ingredients of these "steamers" are chicken, duck, pig, sheep and cattle, which are cooked with local ingredients and practices. Secondly, it is also because of hospitality. Baotou locals are basically good at drinking, and the bold atmosphere is the impression that the locals give me, so the Spring Festival is no exception. When family members gather at a table to raise their glasses, they will not forget to do some "drinking" or other actions. Very lively. If you can have a few cups of wind, then you are very popular with men at the table, so there are such table games from the 30th to15th as long as you are happy. There is also visiting relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year, which is as distinctive in Baotou as in other cities. Important relatives and close friends will bring gifts to each other's homes after the second day of the Lunar New Year. Baotou people attach great importance to reciprocity, and the Spring Festival is often an important festival for people to consolidate their feelings, which people attach great importance to; Because of the climate, Baotou is very cold in winter, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large. But because every household has heating, the outdoor and home in Baotou in winter can really be described as "two days of ice and fire". When you go out, you should wear a thick eiderdown coat, hat, mask and gloves, but when you get home, you can wear thin household clothes to work, so during the Spring Festival, locals basically gather at home to watch TV, chat and play mahjong, which is very comfortable. The extremely cold winter is basically a good opportunity for most local people to give themselves a winter vacation. Of course, no matter how cold it is, you will also see groups of fashionable young people in the outdoor streets. It's just that these young people are really not afraid of the cold during the Spring Festival. At MINUS ten degrees Celsius, they all wear beautiful clothes, and the girls are even more graceful.
