Many activities, such as setting off firecrackers, giving lucky money, visiting relatives and friends, giving new year gifts, visiting ancestral graves, visiting flower markets, making fires, etc., are very enjoyable.

4. Lantern Festival (the 15th day of the first month) The Lantern Festival custom has been based on warm and festive lantern viewing custom since ancient times. Traditional customs include going out to enjoy the moon, lighting lanterns and setting off flames, liking solve riddles on the lanterns, eating Yuanxiao and pulling rabbit lanterns. In addition, in many places, traditional folk performances, such as playing dragon lanterns, playing lions, walking on stilts, boating, yangko dancing and playing Taiping drums, have all joined the Lantern Festival.

5. The Cold Food Festival (the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day) is from the winter of the summer calendar to the day after 105, and one or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day. When the first day of the day is a holiday, smoking is forbidden and only cold food is eaten. In the development of later generations, the customs of sweeping, climbing, swinging, cuju, crochet and cockfighting were gradually increased. The Cold Food Festival lasted for more than 2,000 years and was once called the largest folk festival in China. Cold Food Festival is the only traditional festival named after food customs in China.

6. Tanabata (Lunar calendar: the seventh day of July) Some places in Guangxi have the custom of storing water on Tanabata. According to folklore, on the morning of July 7, a fairy will come to the world to take a bath. Her bath water can ward off evil spirits, cure diseases and prolong life. Therefore, people go to the river to get water on the morning of Tanabata, and then bring it back and put it in a new urn for future use. If there are sickly children at home, parents often tie a red rope into seven knots on this day and wear it around the child's neck, praying for God to bless the child's health and longevity.
