What are the ways to pay New Year greetings during the Spring Festival?

1. Bow gesture. Since ancient times, traditional New Year greeting gestures have been different between men and women.

2. The standard man's bow posture is that the right hand holds a fist and the left hand wraps it, because the right hand is the attacker, and it should be wrapped to show goodwill.

3, women are the opposite, but women don't make a fist, just press their hands.

4. Choose the time before the Chinese New Year. Don't run away because the host also goes out to pay a New Year call, but also give the host a time to prepare in advance.

New Year greetings usually begin at home. On the first morning, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay New Year greetings to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. After greeting the elders at home, you should greet the New Year with a smile when you go out to meet them, and exchange auspicious words such as "Congratulations on getting rich", "Best wishes in the four seasons" and "Happy New Year".
