Customs from the first day to the seventh day of the Spring Festival

Day 1: The custom on the first day of New Year's Eve is to set off firecrackers, cook jiaozi and open doors to welcome people and neighbors.

The next day: on the second day of New Year's Day, I went back to my mother's house. When I entered my mother's house, I paid a New Year call. After my daughter and I got married, I went back to my parents' home with my husband.

The third day: On New Year's Eve, some distant relatives who have never worshipped in the first day will ride bicycles to New Year's Eve, drink at noon and return home early in the evening.

The fourth day: On the fourth day of Lunar New Year's Eve, the Kitchen God went home to set off firecrackers to welcome him.

The fifth day: On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it is very important to set off firecrackers to eat jiaozi and jiaozi in the morning. Generally speaking, families will get together to meet the God of Wealth on May Day.

Day 6: On the sixth day of Lunar New Year's Eve, people usually throw a rag at home to show that the poor god is leaving.

Seventh day: the seventh day of the first month, rest. This festival is generally a local custom, and various teams such as temple fairs, drums, yangko and stilts began to perform in the streets. At this point, it is also the day when the national legal holiday ends and I have to go to work again.

Folk customs vary from place to place in the north, but some days are basically fixed, such as observing the New Year, sweeping houses, posting Spring Festival couplets, including jiaozi and Lantern Festival. In the third-tier city in the north where I live, I need to go to the grave in the first day of junior high school. After eating jiaozi in the morning, the old people stayed at home to pay New Year greetings, and the younger generation went to the grave.
