In order to pay New Year greetings to relatives and visit elders.

New Year greeting is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their best wishes to each other. In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to pay New Year greetings to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating them on a happy New Year and greeting their lives. In case of friends and relatives of the same generation, you should also salute and congratulate. With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings is constantly adding new contents and forms.

Since the Qing dynasty, New Year greetings have taken the form of "group worship", that is, people get together to congratulate each other? . In A Talk on the Side Hat, the Lord of the Qing Dynasty said: "At the beginning of the year, the capital must make a routine group worship to unite the friendship of the New Year and show the nostalgia", and "every year, the book club will book guests, have a banquet and have fun."
