Beijing Spring Festival Customs

From the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, when every family makes Laha vinegar (garlic), the flavor of the year begins. The folk song says: "Don't worry, old lady, it's the New Year after Laha. How many days do I have to drink Laha congee? The 23rd day of the Lunar New Year is also known as the "New Year". There is a song that says: "Sugar gourd sacrifices to the stove, the New Year has come, the girl wants flowers, the boy wants cannons". From this day onwards, Beijing people are more busy, to sacrifice stoves, sweep the house, steamed buns, shopping for New Year's goods, pasting the word "blessed", pasting New Year's paintings, cutting windowpane, pasting couplets. Stick door god, stick hanging money, has been busy until New Year's Eve, began to celebrate the New Year.
