What are the customs on the 16th day of the first month?

Go: As the saying goes, you can have a spring outing on the 16th day of the first month, and you won't get sick all year round. As early as the sixteenth day of the first month written by Su Zhe, a poet in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that "Shangyuan had tried to collect lanterns, and the number of tourists in the battlefield doubled".

On the 16th night of the first month, the family will take down the hanging lanterns to show that they have accepted all the blessings. At this time, the lanterns should be destroyed on the spot, instead of being used for the next year.

Eating noodles "put on lanterns, put down lanterns, and then pay New Year's greetings." Traditionally, noodles are eaten on the sixteenth day of the first month, because noodles are smooth and continuous, which means that the good days of the New Year are continuous.
