Why do people still keep the custom of visiting relatives and friends with gifts, lighting stoves, watching lanterns and celebrating the Lantern Festival?

This is a kind of cultural inheritance, which retains the traditional Chinese New Year custom, in order to express people's good wishes and feelings, and also to inherit the long-standing folk cultural tradition.

In ancient times, when the Spring Festival, a new spring, was coming, it was a promising beginning. People should celebrate and cheer, but Nian is a monster, so people should be lively if they scare him. Make noise.

In ancient times, people began to have a "busy year" on the 23rd or 24th of a year, and the New Year didn't end until January19th. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, but generally it doesn't end until at least the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Holiday greetings convey family ethics between relatives and friends. It is an important festival for people to deepen their feelings, and it is a traditional festival of joy, peace and gathering of relatives and friends.
