What is the Chinese New Year custom in Anhui?

1, family gathering

Anhui has the custom of family reunion during the Spring Festival. On New Year's Day, the whole family will get together to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. In the evening, every family will sit around for a reunion dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala. The longer they eat, the greater the meaning.

2. Take a bath before evening

Anhui has the custom of taking a bath before the Spring Festival. Before New Year's Eve, you should take a shower and wash clothes, clean up all the dust and hang up your clothes, which means you can't spend the New Year wet.

3. Shooting sacrifices

Anhui has the custom of shooting sacrifices during the Spring Festival. In the early morning of New Year's Day, every household will open the door and set off firecrackers at the door, which means prosperity. And after the filming, the elders at home will hold a sacrificial ceremony to pay homage to their ancestors. After breakfast, they will go to other elders' homes to pay New Year greetings.
