The customs and habits of Nanning for the New Year.

Nanning people have the custom of "New Year greetings on the first day, the second day and the fourth day", that is, the junior students in the first day pay New Year greetings to their elders, the new son-in-law in the second day pays New Year greetings to their parents-in-law, and the married women return to their parents' homes with their children and husbands after the third day.

In New Year's greetings, in addition to bringing a big capon, we should also send "three heads" of rice cakes, zongzi and rice noodles, which is intended to send good luck to relatives and friends.

Rice cakes and zongzi mean "high (cake) every year and middle (zongzi) every year", while Li Fen combined with pots of oranges placed on both sides of the portal during the Spring Festival to form the meaning of "good luck (orange) every year".

These places are closed on New Year's Day, and it is customary not to go to the streets on the first day. It is customary to eat vegetarian food on New Year's Day, and it is not allowed to pour water on the ground. Greeting people during the Spring Festival is a kind of etiquette, and elders are used to giving packages to their children.

On the second day of the second year, pedestrians on the street wore red and green, which was very lively. It is inevitable that the newlyweds will return to their parents' homes on the second day of the second year, and their parents-in-law will treat them to drinks!
