The Spring Festival of Han people usually begins with offering sacrifices to stoves. The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as New Year's Eve, is a day for people to sacrifice to the kitchen god. There is a folk saying that "Kitchen God reports to the Jade Emperor in the sky on the 23rd night of the twelfth lunar month every year, and returns to his original place at 15 o'clock at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, even if he reports for one year". In the past, people sacrificed to the kitchen at this time.

Sacrifice to the stove usually begins at night. When night falls, at this time in the past, the rural land has been silent. However, on the night of the festival, people always try their best to do anything related to the festival. Everyone is eager to have a lively festival and look forward to a bumper harvest and peace in the next four seasons.

After the Stove Festival, preparations for the Chinese New Year officially began. Every year from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve, China folks call this period "Spring Festival" or "Dust Day". Dust removal is year-end cleaning, which is called "house cleaning" in the north and "dust removal" in the south. It is a traditional habit of our people to sweep the dust before the Spring Festival.

According to the folk saying, because of the homonym of "dust" and "Chen", sweeping dust in the Spring Festival means "getting rid of the old and not being new", and its original intention is to sweep away all "unlucky" and "unlucky". This custom has placed people's desire to break the old and create new ones and their prayers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

After sweeping the dust, we should paste Spring Festival couplets, which are also called "spring stickers" and "door pairs". It depicts beautiful images and expresses good wishes with neat and concise words, which is a unique literary form of the Han nationality. Every Spring Festival, no matter in urban or rural areas, every household should choose red Spring Festival couplets and stick them on their doors to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, so as to increase the festive atmosphere.

After putting up the Spring Festival couplets, it's time to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, which is particularly important: first of all, the whole family must get together, and those who don't come home for some reason must leave their seats and a set of tableware to show their reunion; Second, enrich the food and pay attention to "oral color".

Call the rice cake "Bubugao", jiaozi "Wanshun", wine "Running Water", eggs "Big Yuanbao" and goldfish "More than a year"; This kind of fish is not allowed to eat. It is called "Kanyu" and must be eaten until the first day of school. In areas where there are no fish in the north, most of them are carved wooden fish instead; Third, the seats are orderly, mostly for ancestors. Grandchildren are in the middle, and their parents are in a lower position. Men, women and children should drink. Close the door when eating, and the excitement will be gone.

Noisy, happy to eat the New Year's Eve, at the same time, it's time for the New Year. The custom of observing the old age not only includes the feeling of farewell and nostalgia for the fleeting time, but also expresses the good hope for the coming New Year. Among them, in order to avoid the Nian beast, people close the door early on the 30th night of the twelfth lunar month, dare not sleep, wait for the dawn, and drink to kill time and courage. On the first morning of the new year, you dare not go out until the Nian beast comes out.

Later, people found that Nian beast was afraid of red light and noise, so they set off firecrackers to scare it away, which has been passed down to this day. Later, setting off firecrackers in the Spring Festival gradually evolved into a symbol of resigning the old year and welcoming the new year, which was an expression of festive mood. Business people. Setting off firecrackers has another meaning: they set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve to make a fortune in the new year.

The first thing to do when you get home after setting off firecrackers is to worship heaven and earth, God and ancestors. In ancient times, this custom was very popular. Due to different local customs and habits, the forms of ancestor worship are also different. Some go to the wild to sweep graves, and some go to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors. Most of them put their ancestral tablets in the main hall in turn at home to show their worship, and then worshippers worship them in order of age.

Giving out "red envelopes" is a custom of Han people during the Spring Festival. Han people like red because it symbolizes vitality, happiness and good luck. Giving red envelopes to underage children means bringing them blessings and good luck. The money in a red envelope is just to make children happy. Its main meaning is in red paper, because it symbolizes good luck. Therefore, it is impolite to open red envelopes in front of the elders who issued them.

Korean folklore says that the fifth day of the first month is the birthday, so after the first day of the first month, the next most important activity is to collect money. On the night before God of Wealth's birthday, every household will hold a banquet to celebrate God of Wealth.

After receiving the god of wealth, it is natural to send the poor god. On this day, every household uses paper as a woman, which is called "sweeping woman", "five poor women" and "five poor mothers". They carried paper bags on their backs, cleaned up the dirty soil in the bags and sent them to the door to burn them. This custom is also called "sending poor soil" and "sending poor daughter-in-law out".
