What are the customs of Spring Festival in Baoding, Hebei?

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sticky Laba porridge is getting thicker and thicker at this moment. I haven't eaten Laba porridge cooked by my mother for many years. I can't name soybeans, red dates, chestnuts, yellow rice and many kinds of beans. They are sticky and sweet. My mother cooks laba porridge every year, but I haven't been home for many years. On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, it's our party there. People in the market are busy preparing new year's goods. You see, New Year pictures, firecrackers and couplets are all in sight. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, honeydew melons are sticky. You will eat sticky honeydew melon, and it will stick to your teeth when you take a bite. When I was young, honeydew melons were all sweet. The most interesting thing is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the house Tomb-Sweeping Day. At that time, my home was still an old house. On this day, adults are busy moving out all the furniture and bedding at home and cleaning the house. Children will also help move things. It's been a busy day to post enough papers and New Year pictures. Twenty-five is a party, people go to the market to buy new year's goods, melon seeds, sugar and wine, and more and more celebrations are held. Twenty-six can make tofu, fry tofu and sweet potatoes, and make rice cakes. It's another busy day. Twenty-seven will also be in cook the meat, cooking cold dishes and steaming steamed bread. Everyone is busy preparing for the Spring Festival, and the year is coming. The New Year's bell is ringing, and people who have worked hard for a year can live a happy year. On the morning of the first day of junior high school, people got up early to set off firecrackers, and then began to visit. As far as I can remember, every family goes there every year. When I put on new clothes, my pocket was full of melon seeds and sugar. No matter where I go, adults stuff their children's pockets full. This is the happiest moment. Firecrackers are ringing on this day. Congratulations on making a fortune. ........
