What are the customs on New Year's Day?

The customs of New Year's Day are:

1. Setting off firecrackers: China people will set off firecrackers in many important festivals and activities. In our hometown, New Year's Day is also called "Gregorian calendar year". It is necessary to set off firecrackers.

2. Eat jiaozi: Many areas in northern China like to eat jiaozi during festivals. Of course, we also like to eat jiaozi on such an important festival as the Year of the Sun.

3. When eating in Jiangsu, cooked water chestnuts should be put in rice and dug out when eating, which is called "digging ingots". When making tea, put two green olives in it. This is "Yuanbao Tea".

4. In the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in sokcho, a long pole is burned, and gongs and drums are used to "celebrate the silkworm farm".

Cantonese people will send oranges when they visit relatives, and so will their elders. It means a symbol of good luck and balance in the coming year.

6. In Fujian, flowers made of red paper should be inserted into rice for Chinese New Year dinner, which is called "spring rice". "Spring rice" also refers to more than one year.
