People celebrate New Year's Eve, which is also called "Enduring the Year". That is to say, on New Year's Eve, thousands of families in Qian Qian, China will get together for a New Year's Eve dinner, and those who have finished eating will begin to celebrate the New Year. To catch up with the New Year is to stay up all night. We just get together to play cards, watch TV, eat snacks and drink some wine to welcome the New Year.

And keeping old is also exquisite. Keeping the old and welcoming the new means health and longevity every year. Young people are also the blessings of their elders, hoping to extend the life span of their parents.

Traditionally, China's "endure the year" does not mean how hard it is to stay up late, but is related to the origin of endure the year. What we are most familiar with is the story about driving away Nian beast. According to legend, Nian beast will come out for 30 nights to hurt livestock and people's lives. In order to avoid the Nian beast, people close their doors early on the thirtieth night of the twelfth lunar month, dare not sleep, wait for dawn, and drink to kill time and courage. Later, people found that Nian beast was afraid of fire, firecrackers and a big piece of red, so they stayed up all night on New Year's Eve, turned on the lights and set off firecrackers all night to drive Nian beast away. We can know how long it has passed.

Keeping old on New Year's Eve is a symbol of our traditional culture in China, which has the cultural characteristics of China.
