The custom of Wenzhou people eating New Year's Eve dinner.

One of the customs of Wenzhou people during the Spring Festival is to have a big dinner on New Year's Eve afternoon. As the saying goes, it is called "New Year's Eve", and some places call it "reunion dinner", "family reunion", "farewell wine" and so on. Our local old people often call this meal "family reunion". The Spring Festival is the most important collective memory of the Chinese nation, and the New Year's Eve dinner is probably the most dazzling chapter in this memory. Some people recall the 60' s 1 cent-sharing New Year's Eve dinner, instead of feeling poor, they feel sweet. Some people think that the poor New Year's Eve dinner is the best when I was a child. That's because, although we are poor, we have the greatest wealth-the care of our families. Custom 2: Set off firecrackers. According to folklore, Nian is a beast in the wild times, and it often disturbs the six animals raised by human beings. In order to drive away Nian, people burned bamboo with fire, which was the earliest "firecrackers", and later it gradually evolved into setting off firecrackers. The custom of setting off firecrackers has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. Ordinary people rarely get together once a year, so the Spring Festival, a ceremony to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, cannot be short of firecrackers with festive elements. Many cities once banned firecrackers, but later they had to lift the ban, which shows the power of traditional customs. Custom 3: Watch the Spring Festival Gala With the popularity of TV sets, CCTV has successfully held the first two Spring Festival Galas. So how can we bring New Year's happiness to the audience in China on New Year's Eve? In this way, the Spring Festival Gala came into being, and it has been held for 26 consecutive years this year. It will be much easier to treat the Spring Festival Gala as an entertainment. Regardless of New Year's Eve, the whole family must have fun. Just look at the 93% ratings. What's a better topic to talk about? Recently, some so-called scholars called for boycotting the Spring Festival Gala, which was immediately questioned. It seems that the audience scolded and scolded, and the Spring Festival without Spring Festival Gala is temporarily unacceptable. Legend has it that "Happy New Year" means that people congratulate each other in the early morning of the first day of the New Year to celebrate that they have not been eaten by the beast "Nian". With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, the "packaging" of New Year greetings is being updated day by day, and its innovation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds. China people's traditions and customs of celebrating the New Year, as well as their blessings to their families and expectations for the new year, have not decreased or faded with the increase of the number of years in the AD. It is very tiring and hard to go to relatives' home every year, but only once a year, and relatives seldom get together, so you should stick to it!
