Southerners' Spring Festival Customs

Huaiyin people have the custom of "roasting the head wind" for their children on the sixth day. In the evening, I took my children to the fields to light torches to drive away diseases. While roasting, I sang: "Roast my head, wake up, roast my feet, correct my steps, roast my stomach without diarrhea, and roast my whole body." This disease will never be seen. " Nantong people have the custom of planting sesame stalks, holly and cypress branches at home or in front of the church, which means that life is blooming every day and the seasons are evergreen.

In the south, there is a custom to surround the stove on New Year's Eve. After New Year's Eve, the family will sit around the fire, eat melon seeds, watch TV and chat while eating, and tell the ups and downs of the year.

On the first day of the South, we should make rice cakes and eat dumplings: Southerners pay attention to the first day of the New Year, so the whole family must get together to eat rice cakes and make dumplings.
