What is the custom of Chinese New Year in Wuhan?

Chinese New Year custom of Wuhan people;

1, New Year's Eve: You can't cook raw rice for the first three days, but you have to eat leftovers from New Year's Eve, hoping for "leftovers", which later evolved into a family cooking noodles, shredded beans and glutinous rice. Don't splash water or sweep the floor, lest you take away your "wealth".

2. New Year's greetings: on the first day, I worship my father's family, on the second day, my mother's family, and on the third day, my wife's family. Otherwise, I will "bully my ancestors and destroy my mother." Worship relatives and friends after grade three, and worship people who are better than themselves. This is called "man struggles upwards", or he will go downhill for a year.

3. Send new year's goods: You can continue to pay New Year's greetings after the third day, but you should start burning incense and worshiping God. Monks from various temples come out to collect annual meals along the house, and the benefactors are not stingy. It can be said that "the more you have, the richer you will be."

4. During the Spring Festival, there are many recreational activities in Wu Hanyou, including lion jumping, acrobatics, pilgrimage to the mountains and so on. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the custom of greeting the New Year continued, but the form changed greatly. Two or three days ago, I still visited my parents, invited relatives and friends to have dinner, or took my children to the park. Only in the last three or five years have we started to eat in restaurants and travel.

5, the fifth day of the first month, also known as "breaking the fifth", is a big day for businessmen, praying for a wide range of financial resources in a year, and it is this day to meet the god of wealth. Generally, shops will open their doors and set off firecrackers on this day.
