What are the customs on New Year's Day?

On New Year's Day, there are customs such as eating New Year's Eve, eating noodles and going back to parents' home.

1, have New Year's Eve dinner

The second day of the first month is called "opening the year". From this day on, people will visit relatives and friends with gifts, such as three kinds of animals, bazin and French fries. Killing chickens in Shatian, Shaoguan, opens a new year, which means full of vitality. In terms of food customs, the lunch on the second day of the first month is called "New Year's Eve", and the dishes are diverse, all of which are auspicious.

Step 2 eat noodles

There is a folk proverb that says: On the first day in jiaozi, on the third day, the zygotes will go home, on the fourth day, pancakes will spread eggs, on the fifth day, people will pinch their mouths, and on the seventh day, they will eat sushi noodles. So, on the second day of New Year's Eve, eat noodles. In some places, this statement is interpreted as welcoming the daughter back to the door, and many people pay attention to the noodles the next day.

3. Go back to your mother's house

On the second day of the first lunar month, many places have the custom of returning to their parents' homes. Married daughters will take their husbands and children back to their parents' home for the New Year. Daughters who go back to their parents' home must bring some gifts and red envelopes to their children and have lunch at their parents' home.

Matters needing attention when going back to your mother's house on the second day of New Year's Eve

1, no laundry

The elders think that the second day of the first day is the birthday of the water god, so let him have a good rest these two days and try not to wash clothes.

2. Don't take a nap.

People of the older generation think that taking a nap on the second day of the first day of the Lunar New Year will make people lazy all year round, and my career will also be affected. Especially during the Chinese New Year, many relatives and friends will visit us. Taking a nap is actually rude to people.

3. Banquet for daughter and son-in-law at noon

Because the traditional elders' concept of married daughters is (guests), they must choose to hold a banquet at noon when they return to their parents' home. If you stay until dinner time, you will be considered (eat to the end) and your family will be poor and weak for a whole year.
