What folk customs are there in Fuzhou during the Spring Festival?

The folk customs of Fuzhou New Year are as follows:

1, senior one. Fireworks are set off in the morning, and then people pay New Year's greetings, drink Tu Su (a kind of medicinal liquor) and pay homage (that is, the younger generation pays New Year's greetings to the elders), and the elders give them lucky money or candy and oranges. Some people still want to be vegetarian.

Breakfast is mostly too dull (there are two eggs on the noodles) to symbolize a peaceful year. I don't cook new rice this day, but eat the "New Year's Eve" cooked last night. When people meet, they should say "Congratulations on getting rich and having a safe family". Don't sweep the floor, take out the garbage, take a bath, use a knife and say unlucky things on this day. Generally do not eat porridge, do not travel far, go to bed early at night, commonly known as "fighting night lights", earlier than anyone else.

2, the next day. Fuzhou, commonly known as "son-in-law's Day", is the day when daughters and sons-in-law return to their parents' home to pay New Year greetings and eat at the woman's home.

3, the third day. Relatives and neighbors pay New Year greetings to each other.

4. The fourth day. Hold a festival to welcome Kitchen God back to see things, which is also called "Receiving God Day". On this day, shops set off firecrackers and open doors to welcome guests.

5, the fifth day. On the first day of school, old students visit their teachers on this day, which is called "Shangzhaimen".

6, the seventh day. On People's Day, Fuzhou is commonly known as "life-saving". People should take seven kinds of vegetables to make soup, which is called "Qibao soup", and eat rice cakes at night, and cook them plain to show longevity.
