Second, the climate in Fujian.

Generally speaking, Fujian has a pleasant climate. The temperature changes little in spring, summer and autumn. There will be some temperature difference changes in the morning and evening in winter, and it will be cold for a few days. T-shirts and shirts are just your usual clothes. Just bring one or two thick clothes to prevent those days in winter. The temperature is hot in summer and not very cold in winter, but there are more rainy days. That's about it. In addition, Fujian coastal areas will often encounter typhoon weather, so just go out and pay attention to the weather forecast.

The most comfortable climate in Fujian belongs to southern Fujian, such as Xiamen.

This is a good place to travel. Former US President Nixon once praised Xiamen as "Hawaii of the East".

Third, Fujian New Year custom.

? On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in Fujian, people always wear good clothes, provide livestock and seafood such as pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish, as well as offerings such as melons, sugar and fragrant tea at home, and then burn incense and set off firecrackers to see Kitchen God off, hoping that he will be "good from the sky". From this day on, the "new year" began.

Before New Year's Eve, people will also have a comprehensive cleaning and tidying up the courtyard room. They are busy preparing for the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, every household often sticks Spring Festival couplets on their doors and windows, grain depots, pigsty, well platforms and other places, symbolizing good luck, all the best, lucky money, treasures and so on in the new year. Then put offerings and incense sticks on the table in the hall to worship the ancestors and welcome them to "go home for the New Year". Since then, the sound of setting off fireworks and firecrackers has been one after another, and it has been very lively until the morning of the first day of the New Year's Day.

? On New Year's Eve, the whole family will get together to "surround the stove", that is, a family of men, women and children will sit around the stove or hot pot to eat New Year's Eve (or "reunion dinner"). Of course, this meal should be exceptionally rich.

? In the New Year's Eve, besides eating fish balls and meatballs symbolizing family reunion, there are chicken with the meaning of "starting with chicken" and leeks with the meaning of "long life", as well as various fried foods with local flavor, such as glutinous rice balls and rice cakes, especially "turtle-bean paste rice cakes" (a kind of rice cake made by pressing a wooden mold engraved with the shape of a turtle and filled with bean paste), which can prolong life. In addition, there is a kind of salted radish rice cake, which needs to be baked and heated before it can be wrapped with laver. It not only has the function of removing meat and smell, but also contains the wish of "good luck" in the coming year.

? After the New Year's Eve, it is also unique for elders to give their children "lucky money": older children "lucky money" is wrapped in red paper in advance and given to children; Children's "lucky money" is wrapped in red rope in advance, tied into a small collar and worn around the neck.

? On the first day of the first month, people will get up early, get dressed and wash, and then begin to greet each other, express their respect and wishes, visit relatives and friends or visit parks. Very lively and pleasant. People are generally immersed in the festive atmosphere of joy, celebration, happiness and happiness.
