Customs of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Tiger in 2022 Introduction to the customs of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Tiger in 2022

1. The first day of the first lunar month.

The first day of the first lunar month was originally called "New Year's Day". The original meaning of "Yuan" was "head", which was later extended to "beginning".

This day is the first day of the year, the first day of spring, and the first day of the first month, so it is called "Three Yuan".

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people set off firecrackers first, which is called "opening the firecrackers."

After the sound of firecrackers, the ground was filled with broken red, shining like clouds and brocade, which was called "Man Tang Hong".

People get up early, dress up, go out to visit relatives and friends, pay New Year greetings to each other, and wish each other a happy New Year.

2. The second day of the first lunar month.

On the second day of the first lunar month, a married daughter has to return to her parents' home, and her husband must accompany her, so it is commonly known as "Welcoming Son-in-Law Day".

On this day, the daughter who returns to her natal family must bring some gifts and red envelopes to distribute to the children of her natal family, and have lunch at her natal family, but she must rush back to her husband's house before dinner, which is called "the first month of the year."

In the past, families would also choose this day to take a family photo.

In the north, the God of Wealth is worshiped on the second day of the first lunar month.

Whether it is a commercial shop or an ordinary family, activities to worship the God of Wealth must be held.

In the past, big businesses in old Beijing would hold large-scale sacrificial activities on this day, and sacrifices would include five major sacrifices, namely whole pigs, whole sheep, whole chickens, whole ducks, and red live carp, etc., hoping to make a fortune this year.

3. The third day of the first lunar month.

In most places across the country, the time to "go back to your parents' home" is usually scheduled on the second day of the first lunar month, but in places like Shandong, it is only the third day of the lunar month.

In some northern areas, the third day of junior high school is called "Broom Day".

Because on this day, you can clean up the garbage from the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, pick up your own broom and clean the room, and when cleaning, sweep from the outside in, which means to gather wealth.
