What are the customs and activities on New Year's Eve?

1, Eat New Year's Eve: New Year's Eve is also called "group year" or "family reunion", because this meal will bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, so it is also called "the end of the year". Every family's New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, and the whole family get together for dinner to show harmony and reunion. Before eating, they must offer sacrifices to their ancestors and pray for the blessing of their gods.

2. Lighting: On New Year's Eve, every household should hang red lanterns in front of their homes and light all night during the Spring Festival. From New Year's Eve to Lantern Festival, it means longevity and incense.

3. Keeping the Year: Keeping the Year on New Year's Eve is the most important custom. That night, the whole family stayed up all the year round, and even those who worked outside all the year round had to rush home for reunion.
