Visiting relatives on New Year's Day.

On the first day, the oldest and most senior members will be visited, and the visit will serve to strengthen family relations. This practice is called centennial, or wishing someone a happy New Year.

Visitors will bring a small gift to their families, usually two oranges, because oranges symbolize gold, so they symbolize wealth and good luck. Give oranges in pairs, because the number 2 is preferred in China culture, because there is an idiom that says Shi Hao Cheng Shuang or yes man.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my daughter-in-law went back to her family.

On this day, married daughters usually go back to their homes to visit their parents, relatives and close friends. Traditionally, married daughters have not had the opportunity to visit their biological parents often.

In the past, because married daughters were regarded as outsiders and no longer trusted their parents' family (in the past, people thought that "married daughters splash water"), they didn't need to come back for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve or the first day of the new year.
