What's the custom in Puning?

According to Puning's old rules, the Spring Festival begins almost from the end of the twelfth lunar month.

These days, children are happy, adults are busy, and children are busy buying gadgets, such as firecrackers and sand explosions. Adults must prepare sacrifices to God in the new year, such as fruit and sugar.

It will be very lively until the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, that is, the New Year's Eve. Adults are busy worshipping God, and at least four people have places to worship God. At this time, the children first put on new clothes, and at the same time put a red "blessing" on the door and put it on the "cash cow" at home. It is said that this will make money roll in.

When adults are busy worshipping God, they also put on new clothes and set off firecrackers at home. The scene is very lively. Whenever night falls, people who work outside will rush home for a reunion dinner. After eleven o'clock, every household can't sweep or mop the floor. It can only be cleaned on the second day of the first month.

On the first day of the first month, men visit relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year, and women receive guests at home. Children wait for guests to get red envelopes, even after they get what they want, they go out to play. Most children play with toys that explode in the sand.

As soon as the Lantern Festival is listed, another climax of the Spring Festival is coming. On the fifteenth day of the first month, lanterns can be seen everywhere in the streets. Most of them are all kinds of paper lanterns with small bells hanging inside, which are for younger children. Some of those gauze lanterns are hung at home, and some are mentioned outside. When night falls, when everyone has finished eating Yuanxiao, children and young people walk around with lanterns. Among them, they must stroll in the district street and visit this street full of lights and festivals. This is the most beautiful and lively place at this time. This is indeed a beautiful and happy day.

In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival on the 16th day of the first month is over. It's time for children to go to school and adults to do things as usual.

Although Puning is not as prosperous as Shenzhen, the Spring Festival there can still be very lively.
