What's the difference between Chinese New Year in the north and Chinese New Year in the south?

(1) Southern Spring Festival: On the morning of New Year's Day, many families in the south cook a round dumpling. Before the quick-frozen dumplings were popular, they were all made at home, solid glutinous rice dumplings, and finally sprinkled with sweet sugar after they were cooked. Some areas in the south will eat rice cakes during the Spring Festival, such as Hunan. The homophonic "rice cake" means getting taller every year.

(2) Spring Festival in the North: jiaozi will be eaten in the North during the Spring Festival, and jiaozi will be wrapped before 12 in the North. After the New Year bell rings, jiaozi will be cooked, which happens to be the first day of the first month, meaning "making friends is young". At the same time, jiaozi and Yuanbao are quite similar, meaning treasure.

2. Off-year is different

(1) Southern Spring Festival: The off-year in southern China is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

(2) Northern Spring Festival: The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is a small year in northern China.

3. Red envelopes are different.

(1) Southern Spring Festival: The red envelope of Southern Spring Festival is called "gift", and dividend means good luck every year. The amount ranges from a few yuan to dozens of hundreds, and it won't be thousands. Whether friends take it for a visit or meet it in the street, it will be distributed to everyone.

(2) Northern Spring Festival: Northern Spring Festival red envelopes are called "lucky money", and the single sum of northern Spring Festival red envelopes is relatively large, all of which are100,200, or even1000,2000, which is only for relatives and friends.
