What are the customs in Sichuan during the Spring Festival?

The Chinese New Year customs in Sichuan include watching Sichuan Opera, having a reunion dinner, setting off firecrackers, killing pigs and visiting relatives. Eating a reunion dinner is the most lively and enjoyable time for every household in the Spring Festival. New Year's Eve. The sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner filled a table, and the whole family got together, sat around the table and had a reunion dinner. The sense of accomplishment in my heart is really unspeakable.

Setting off firecrackers: Setting off firecrackers is a traditional folk custom in China, and Sichuan is no exception. Setting off firecrackers has a history of more than two thousand years. According to legend, it was to drive away a monster named Nian. At midnight, the New Year bell rang and firecrackers shook the whole sky of China. Killing pigs: In fact, every place has the possibility of killing pigs, but there may be some differences compared with other places in Sichuan. For example, after killing pigs in Sichuan, it will be smoked into bacon and stuffed into sausages, so that there will be no shortage of meat to eat in the coming year. Pork in other places may be bought to eat, because there is no habit of raising pigs in other places.

Visiting relatives: The custom of visiting relatives lasts from the second day of the first month to the sixteenth day of the first month. During this period, almost every family is soaked in alcohol, bathed in fragrance and enjoying the joy of life and family. In the past, I had to wait until the Chinese New Year to go out. There was a saying that "my grandmother was in the third grade, my aunt was in the fourth grade, and I saw my mother-in-law in the fifth and sixth grades"; Now it is the second day of the first month, and the taste of the year is strong. People in Jiaodong have opened the curtain of visiting relatives. Most of them are "seeing their husbands before seeing their uncles, and uncles are behind." On the second and third day of the first month, the married daughter returned to her family with her husband and children.
