What are the customs of Spring Festival in my hometown?

Spring Festival custom in hometown:

1, ancestor worship before meals

Sacrifice is a traditional folk custom in China. Since ancient times, China society has paid attention to "filial piety", and filial piety of all virtues comes first. Sacrificing ancestors is a way to express filial piety. As the most important festival in a year, the Spring Festival will certainly cook some rich food. At this time, we should worship our ancestors with abundant food and pray for the ancestors to bless the future generations.

The married daughter can't spend the New Year at her parents' home.

There is a folk saying that "a married woman can't look after her parents", which means that a married woman can't spend the New Year at her parents' home. Because traditionally, if the married daughter spends the New Year at her parents' house, it also implies that her daughter is not doing well at her in-laws' house, which is unreasonable.

Leftovers of the New Year's Eve dinner should be reserved for the first day.

The first day from New Year's Eve to New Year's Eve is the period of New Year's Eve, which is a sign of moving from last year to this year. Then last year's grain will be left to this year, which means "there is still more than one year." Second, New Year's Day is a very grand day, and there is no killing. If you cook, there will be meat, which may hurt innocent people, so you should eat leftovers on the first day.

4. Don't clean, wash clothes and take out the garbage on the first day of school.

I don't clean on the first day of the New Year, because the first day is the day to receive blessings. If I sweep things out of the house on this day, it also means that I have swept away all the blessings at home. If you like clean friends, you might as well clean up on New Year's Eve to welcome New Year's Day clean and fresh.

5. Don't work on New Year's Day.

There is a saying in the Chinese New Year that "you have to work on the first day, but you have to be busy all year". New Year's Day is a time to receive relatives and friends. If you choose to go to work on such an important day of the year, it is equivalent to pulling the mill. You only know work, but you don't know how to look up.

Originally, I only worked hard on weekdays to make myself better for the holidays, and I also chose to go to work on the first day of the new year, which is equivalent to working for a whole year in vain.
