What are the customs of the Spring Festival in Henan?

During the Spring Festival in Henan Province, there is a custom of staying up for 30 nights in the north, south and east of the Central Plains.

1. After the New Year's Eve, the whole family sat together, eating sweets and melon seeds, chatting with friends and family, and having fun. The children kowtow to the elders in turn, and the elders give the younger generation lucky money. The whole family stays up all night, which is called "keeping the old age" and "staying up late for the New Year". At the end of the fifth watch, the family set sacrifices on the altar and lit incense sticks. According to seniority, the family bowed down to their ancestors in turn and wished them a "Happy New Year".

2. What is a temple fair? It is difficult to explain it clearly in one or two sentences, but as long as you go to a temple fair in Henan, you will understand it immediately-a temple fair must first have a temple and arrange a trustworthy god in it. The Spring Festival refers to the traditional Lunar New Year in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, commonly known as the "Chinese New Year Festival". The traditional names are New Year, New Year and New Year, but they are also verbally called New Year, Celebrating New Year and New Year. This is the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation.
