New Year's Day is our traditional festival, so what are the customs of New Year's Day?

Are there any customs on New Year's Day? 1. It is known throughout China and even the whole world that many countries make New Year's Day a legal holiday and have a holiday on this day. After the founding of China, New Year's Day was also stipulated as a legal holiday, with one day off.

Nowadays, activities organized by groups are more common, such as New Year's Eve parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding group activities. In the past, organized gongs and drums and collective folk dances can still be seen in TV documentaries. Today, the development of science and technology has evolved into a gala or something. In recent years, there have been tours, parties and other programs. Anyway, there is no tradition on New Year's Day. This day is a holiday, so you can enjoy it. Even New Year's Day only means a day's holiday for the younger generation.

3. The traditional way of celebrating in China is among the people, especially in the countryside. Every Chinese New Year, every household will set off firecrackers and kill chickens and geese. After worshipping the gods of all parties, it is a family reunion and a meal. As for the more intensive way of celebrating, I haven't seen it yet.

Ancient New Year's Day custom In ancient China, when the crops were harvested, people who had worked for a year would prepare abundant food to welcome the spring, that is, "bumper harvests", commonly known as "Nian". In the Song Dynasty, there were records of setting off firecrackers, greeting the New Year and having a reunion dinner. Lu Yuanming's Chronological Miscellanies of the Northern Song Dynasty mentioned: "On the first day of the New Year, people in Beijing will eat more rice cakes, so-called' annual rings' and so on." It shows that people in the capital of Song Dynasty prepared noodles and other foods during the New Year. The custom of New Year's Day gradually took shape.

New Year's Day custom in northern China is cold in winter, with short days and long nights. From the beginning of the New Year's Day, during the slack season, people kill pigs and sheep, sit cross-legged on the heatable adobe sleeping platform, talk about their families, do not work, and go out on the fifteenth day of the first month. Due to the cold weather, the diet of New Year's Day in Northeast China is mainly composed of frozen products, pickles and stews. Quick-frozen jiaozi, stewed vermicelli with sauerkraut, sauerkraut, etc. They are all necessary foods for Chinese New Year. Children in Beijing will eat Sugar-Coated Berry in the New Year, which symbolizes the prosperity of the new year. Popular: Yangko, stilts and Northeast Errenzhuan will all be performed at the temple fair. Tianjin cut window grilles and pasted couplets, and entertainment activities were overwhelming. On New Year's Day in Shandong Province, students worship Confucius statue with incense, hoping to be the first in the coming year.

Compared with the vulgarity of the northern New Year customs, the southern New Year customs tend to be more elegant. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, on the first day of New Year's Day, bamboo poles are tied to the grass and lit, which is called "Qingtian silkworm". Shaoxing uses "tea bowls" to entertain guests in the New Year, and some even add olives and kumquat, which is called "Bao Yuanbao". In Fujian, the pronunciation of "spring" in Fujian is the same as that of "leftover". When eating on New Year's Day, flowers made of red paper should be inserted into rice, commonly known as "spring rice". Spring is a symbol of "more than a year". In Guangdong, on New Year's Day, elders will give red envelopes or oranges to their younger generation, which is also a symbol of good luck and balance in the coming year.

The custom of New Year's Day in Taiwan Province Province is in Bao Dao, Taiwan Province Province. On New Year's Day, the whole family, old and young, get together for dinner, and there is a hot pot on the table, which is called "surrounding the stove". Those who take part in the "fireplace" will taste everything on the table and drink symbolically to make the coming year prosperous. On New Year's Day, compatriots in Taiwan Province Province will eat longevity dishes. The so-called perennial vegetables, in fact, are commonly known as mustard greens, which are regarded by people in Taiwan Province Province as a symbol of longevity. Some people add fans when cooking, which means endless, endless.

Tibetan New Year is the custom of Tibetan New Year. Every household should wear colorful flower "Zhuosuoqima" made of ghee to pray for a bumper harvest in the coming year. Women should make "Kasai", a kind of pastry made of ghee, to entertain guests. The windows should be replaced with new curtains, the beams and kitchens should be decorated with Hada, and the herdsmen who are good at singing and dancing around the bonfire show a festive atmosphere. Different winds in a hundred miles, different customs in a thousand miles. There are many customs on New Year's Day. China has a vast territory and rich resources. On New Year's Day, different places in China have different customs. These different customs come together as gifts to welcome the new year. This is a symbol of the great integration of 56 ethnic groups in China. These customs perfectly combine the traditional culture of China and continue to be passed down, forming the soul of the Chinese nation.
