Does every household observe the tradition of family reunion vigil on New Year's Eve?

Have you ever heard of this proverb? Thirty nights vigil, the first day of the year? . According to legend, on New Year's Eve, in order to avoid Nian beast, people close the door early before dark, dare not sleep, and wait for dawn by vigil. Since then, there has been a vigil, also known as endure the year. So the tradition of family reunion vigil on New Year's Eve is to be observed by every family?

In fact, it can be adjusted according to the situation of each family. Vigilance is only folklore and tradition, and there is no need to be old. If the family is concerned, turning on the light can avoid disaster and keep the family safe. In some areas, it is said that New Year's Eve is the end of the old year, and the next year will be replaced by the new year. Therefore, people should be in a very sober state, with gratitude, and keep the year that was given a safe day to the last moment to show gratitude. At the same time, we should greet the New Year with a very sober state to show our respect. According to legend, from the Tang Dynasty, on New Year's Eve, the whole family got together, eating and laughing, which not only meant farewell and nostalgia for the fleeting time, but also a beautiful expectation for the coming New Year. Some vulgar families push Pai Pai Jiu, toss around like children, bet on stud, play mahjong, and the noise and laughter converge into a happy climax on New Year's Eve. Eating New Year's Eve, lighting candles or oil lamps, chatting around the stove and keeping vigil all night symbolize driving away all evil diseases and epidemics, so vigil has gradually become a custom for people to celebrate the New Year.

Now, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV is mostly combined with grabbing red packets in each group's software, and the family gets together and drinks heartily. At the same time, a series of entertainment activities are held, such as the old people telling stories to their children, solve riddles on the lanterns, drinking, playing mahjong and poker together, and listening to firecrackers and fireworks near and far with jiaozi, so they will spend these hours happily.
