What are the customs of the Lunar New Year's Day in northern China?

Go back to your mother's house, eat noodles, etc.

In the north, people usually eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve. On the first day of the first year, people get up early and put on new clothes to pay New Year greetings to their elders, relatives and friends. On the second day, there is the custom of going back to my mother's house. On this day, the daughter and son-in-law will bring gifts to the woman's parents' home to reunite with their families and celebrate the festival. Daughters and sons-in-law will go back to their parents' home with some gifts. Gifts should not be singular, because in China culture, good things always like to be paired. My daughter went back to her parents' home to enjoy the joy of reunion with her family. She also prepared some red envelopes for her children and stayed at her parents' home for lunch.

Eating noodles: In northern China, eating noodles on the second day of junior high school is also a traditional custom. Noodles are long, which means long and slippery. Eating noodles also means praying for longevity and happiness. In addition, noodles are easy to make and share, symbolizing family harmony and reunion.
