Traditional third grade

New Year's Day begins with New Year's greetings. New Year greetings usually begin at home. On the morning of the first day, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call 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 also greet people 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". Neighbors, relatives and friends also visit each other or invite them to drink and entertain.

On this day, the daughter who goes back to her parents' house must bring some gifts and red envelopes to her children and have lunch at her parents' house, but she must get back to her husband's house before dinner. In the past, the family would choose this day to take a family photo.

The third day of New Year's Day is called Xiaonianchao, also called Red Dog Day. Legend has it that the red dog is the god of anger, and people who meet him will be unlucky, so the third day is an unlucky day and it is not suitable for going out. It is said that people will quarrel with them on the third day of New Year's greetings, so they don't pay New Year's greetings. People in China regard the third day of the first month as Xiaomi's birthday. On this day, they hope to sacrifice and pray for the new year. They don't eat rice.
