What are the cultural characteristics of New Year's custom?

The characteristics of the annual custom culture are:

1, Shaanxi

Characteristic Chinese New Year custom: playing with vinegar charcoal. Shaanxi has a long history, and there are many different customs during the Spring Festival. "Vinegar charcoal" is one of them, which is to put a red-hot coal on an iron spoon and then pour vinegar on it. "Playing vinegar and charcoal" should be carried out in every corner of the house, which means exorcism. I wish you peace and success in the coming year.

2. Guangxi

Special Chinese New Year custom: Dancing with chickens and dancing with spring cows. In many places, stilt teams dance with dragons and lions, but there is a special way to dance with chickens and spring cows in Guangxi. On the first day of New Year's Day, the young man who jumped the chicken carried two chickens made of wood and papaya and went to every household to ring gongs to pay New Year's greetings. They sang auspicious and humorous chicken dance songs, which made customers smile.

3. Inner Mongolia

Special Chinese New Year custom: eat "hand-grabbed meat" to get rid of the old year. Mongolians like to eat mutton, especially at Spring Festival banquets. Eating "hand-grabbed meat" on New Year's Eve is a traditional custom of Mongolian people to express family reunion. On New Year's Eve, put the cooked whole sheep on the table, with the head of the sheep on top of the whole sheep, and the head of the sheep facing the oldest and highest-ranking elders.

4. Shanghai

From the first day to the fifth day, every family visits relatives and friends, wishes each other a happy New Year and presents each other. During the period, the incense in the temple was far more vigorous than usual. Especially on the morning of New Year's Day, there are many people who go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, and they are very early. In order to catch the first incense, Shouan Temple outside the city and Guangfu Temple in Zhongxing Town are the most lively places.

5. Chongqing

Chongqing people stay at home and do not go out. You can't sweep the floor and take out the garbage at home during the New Year, which will sweep away the wealth at home. When they couldn't take a nap that day, the locals became "moldy sleep", which means a bad year. Of course, on this day, adults and children should say auspicious words, not discouraging words, which indicates good luck in the coming year.
