What are the traditional customs on New Year's Day?

The traditional customs of New Year's Day are as follows:

1, the ancient New Year's Day custom in China

In ancient times, New Year's Day was the first day of the first lunar month to commemorate the day of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and the founding emperor Yao. Every dynasty held ceremonies and ceremonies to celebrate New Year's Day, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, writing couplets on doors, writing blessings and dancing dragon lanterns. People have also gradually formed celebrations such as offering sacrifices to gods and buddhas, posting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, observing the New Year, having family reunion dinners, and making countless fires.

2. Modern New Year's Day customs in China

1949 After the founding of New China, the Gregorian calendar 1 was designated as New Year's Day. Since New Year's Day was born in the Republic of China, the customs and habits of celebration are of course mostly similar to the Spring Festival, or it can be said that it is a pocket version of the Spring Festival. After all, New Year's Day is not a traditional festival in China, although it follows some traditional ways of celebration, such as setting off fireworks, killing three students and offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods.

Ways to celebrate the New Year:

1, China and even the whole world know that many countries have designated New Year's Day as a legal holiday, and it is a New Year's Day holiday. After the founding of New China, it was also stipulated that New Year's Day was a legal holiday, with one day off.

2. Nowadays, activities organized by groups are more common, such as New Year's Day parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding group activities. In the past, people organized gongs and drums and danced folk dances collectively, but now they can still be seen in TV documentaries. Today, with the development of science and technology, it has evolved into a gala for travel, parties and other programs.

3. The traditional way of celebrating in China lies in the people, especially in the countryside. Every new year's day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and worship the gods of all parties, which means family reunion and dinner. As for a more intense way to celebrate, I haven't seen it yet.
