Although it is the same country, the customs and habits of our country are very different, and the customs in different regions are also different. During the Spring Festival in the northwest of China, there are also some unusual customs, which represent the unique local characteristics. There are so many Chinese New Year customs in Northwest China, what do you know, which may not be well known to the public.

Lanzhou social fire Lanzhou social fire can be said to be a unique custom in the northwest. During the New Year in China, people in Northwest China often like to get together to sing and dance to celebrate the New Year. These people often hold bright torches in their hands, representing the expectations for the coming year and the summary of the past year. When people get together to sing and dance, it also represents the expectation for the future. On this day, almost everyone will go to the streets to play social fire with the big team. If boys and girls look at each other on this day, they can express themselves directly and get the blessing of the public.

Cleaning the house Most southerners like to clean the house again and again on the first day of the New Year, thinking that they can't clean the house during the New Year and will leave last year's bad luck to this year. However, most areas in the northwest, especially Gansu, like to clean their houses during New Year's Day. On New Year's Eve, everyone will clean their house to welcome the new year. People in Gansu often think that New Year's Day is the beginning of a new year, so they will leave the cleaning work on New Year's Day. If you visit someone's house on New Year's Day, you will find that most people are cleaning, and they will not come to welcome the New Year until the house is cleaned. In fact, some Gansu people may not have good family conditions, but they will still do a family cleaning.

Bao jiaozi Bao jiaozi has also become a traditional feature of northern China, especially in the northwest, and jiaozi is deeply loved by people. During the Spring Festival in Gansu and other regions, jiaozi will be packed together. People often get together as a family to pack jiaozi, jiaozi and jiaozi. They look very beautiful and the colors are attractive. Besides, everyone needs to eat more than eight jiaozi, which means they will make a fortune in the coming year. This traditional habit has been preserved and has become a feature of the northwest.
