What Chinese New Year customs are slowly disappearing, and why?

On New Year's Day, you can't sleep late, but you have to get up early, usually at four or five o'clock. Some places eat steamed bread, some eat jiaozi, and some eat glutinous rice balls. You are all very motivated and full of beautiful significance.

Then put on new clothes and shoes. From head to toe, they all put on new clothes, and the younger generation also put on smiling faces to pay New Year greetings to their parents and elders. After that, I will pay New Year greetings to my neighbors' elders. Going to a neighbor's house to pay New Year's greetings, especially if there are portraits at home, is really to kneel and kowtow to the living, that is to say, to say some blessings and exchange greetings. Ancestor worship activities are still held in some places, but there are fewer.

This kind of scene that can enliven the whole morning is becoming less and less common. Even if there is, only some elderly people are still sticking to the past etiquette.

Young people don't buy it They have their own way to celebrate the New Year. On the evening of 30th, they either played cards all night, watched TV in the middle of the night, and slept until dawn, and found someone to get together to play cards for entertainment.
