On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, every household should thoroughly clean the room, commonly known as sweeping the dust. When sweeping the dust, housewives usually cover the bed furniture in the room first, wrap their heads with headscarves, and sweep the walls up and down with brooms in order to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and remove the ominous.

On this day, even the poorest families have to cut a few pounds of meat, which is called "annual meat".

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, every household goes shopping in the market and makes centralized purchases.

What are the manners and postures for New Year greetings?

The etiquette of paying New Year's greetings with fists is a form of paying New Year's greetings between peers. The standard man's posture is that his right hand is clenched and his left hand is wrapped, because the right hand is the attacker in concept and the wrapping indicates goodwill. Women, on the other hand, don't make a fist, just press their hands. Left and right hands are reversed, which means mourning boxing, meaning mourning and begging for mercy. Don't make mistakes when you pay a New Year call.

Make an appointment in advance for the Spring Festival, and the elders choose to celebrate the Spring Festival in the morning.

Make an appointment in advance before New Year's greetings. Don't "crash" with the host's other New Year greeting guests, or take a trip because the host also goes out to pay New Year greetings. At the same time, give the host a time to prepare in advance. It's best to give the host a choice when making an appointment. Don't set the time unilaterally. It is better for both parties to be convenient when making an appointment.

Generally speaking, people choose to pay New Year greetings to their elders in the morning, and don't get up too early during festivals, because people usually get up very late during festivals. If you visit your home too early, you will often catch your host off guard. If the New Year greeting is hosted by a New Year greeting person, the time of the New Year greeting can be determined according to the time of the dinner. Arrive early, don't wait until dinner time. Time should be reserved for greeting and chatting.

Gifts should be ready and clothes should be coordinated.

Choose the right gift according to the main target of New Year greetings. If you know the target well, you can choose the gift that the other person likes, which is also a good choice. If you don't know much, you can choose flowers, fruits and food ... you can't go wrong. Alcohol and tobacco should be determined according to the object. For example, it's meaningless to send grandma cigarettes and wine she doesn't need to pay a New Year call. If the host has children at home, he can also choose the gifts that the children like appropriately.

The new year is a new atmosphere. Pay attention to your clothes when visiting relatives and friends. Holiday clothes are mainly urban leisure fashion. Don't wear too much exercise, and don't wear too formal evening dress. If the clothes are dark or depressing, you can add some trinkets to add festive atmosphere. The colors of a family's clothes should be coordinated as much as possible to increase the warmth of the family.

Pay attention to receiving red envelopes and say "thank you" with both hands.

When you take your child to someone else's home for the New Year, you will receive a red envelope representing your blessing. Parents should educate their children in advance. When the elders give red envelopes, they should catch them with both hands and say "thank you" politely. After receiving a red envelope, never open it in front of the guests, because it is impolite. The best way is to put red envelopes in parents' bags or children's own bags.

In addition, we should pay attention to the fact that people in China are used to being polite. When relatives and friends give lucky money, try not to cater to the children, or grab the red envelope and give it back to others. This will make children very confused. They don't understand the social mentality of adults, but it is easy to hurt their little hearts.

Don't be a table bully.

Table manners actually test parents' education for their children. Therefore, before the Spring Festival, parents should educate their children about "rules" to avoid embarrassment.

When someone visits or visits other people's homes, parents can remind their children:

1, you have to wait for everyone to arrive, especially after the host takes a seat and announces the start of the party.

Sit down and have a good meal, don't run around, don't climb the table, and don't eat while playing.

Don't wave chopsticks, spoons or knives and forks on the dining table.

4. After taking a seat, when picking vegetables, don't pick them over and over again, but pick them carefully so as not to splash them on your own or others' clothes.

It should be emphasized that when a child says that he is full, parents should stop persuading him to eat and help him refuse the suggestions of other relatives and friends. This is respect for children's own feelings.

Guests should be warm and generous when visiting.

People in China like to be lively. They will visit each other during the Spring Festival. Parents should tell their children in advance that if someone visits, they must greet them with a smile.

1, teach children to open the door to welcome, welcome.

After leading the guests in, you should politely ask them to sit down. After greeting the guests to sit down, the children can prepare tea, fruit, snacks and snacks with their parents and do something they can.

3. When receiving a small guest who is similar to the child's age, tell the child that when the small guest comes, he should receive each other politely and kindly, and can take out food, toys, books, CDs, etc. Share with the little guest according to his own wishes. In order to avoid being jealous of small guests, it is polite to tell the child in advance that this is a compliment, which does not mean ignoring him.

When the guests leave, you can send the children off together, send them to the door to say goodbye and invite them to come again next time.

Good manners of parents are the most vivid and effective education for children. Parents can subtly influence their children through their own behaviors, so that children can develop the habit of being polite in a good environment and become well-behaved and educated little gentlemen and ladies.

Etiquette common sense of New Year greetings

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends and wish each other good luck in the coming year.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China people have formulated unwritten rules for New Year greetings, in a certain order: first, worship the gods of heaven and earth, then worship the true shadow of ancestors, then worship the elders of Gaotang, and finally the whole family worships each other in the order of generations. Give gifts to elders and reward children. When paying a New Year call, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders and wish them a long and healthy life. The elders can distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that lucky money can kill evil spirits, because "old" and "special" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend a year safely with lucky money.

Paying homage to relatives and friends also pays attention to order

Worship the family on the first day; The next day, the third day, I visited my mother's uncle, uncle, father-in-law and so on. Until 16. This custom was popular as early as the Song Dynasty. Mr. Meng described the cloud of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty in Volume 6 of Dream of China in Tokyo: "On October 1st, Kaifeng House was released for three days, and scholars celebrated each other early." In the Qing Dynasty, the New Year greeting etiquette was sublimated. Gu Tieqing, a Qing man, described in Jia Qinglu that "men and women pay homage to their parents, and the master leads them to visit their neighbors, or sends their children to congratulate them, which is called' Happy New Year'. Even if we don't meet at the end of the year, we will worship each other at this time ... "Generally speaking, it is enough for our peers to pay a New Year call.

First of all, worship the elders at home. On the first morning, after the younger generation gets up, they should first pay a New Year call to their elders. Of course, after the elders worship, they will definitely distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. What you can't forget is to pay New Year greetings to your neighbors and elders. There is an old saying in China: A distant relative is better than a close neighbor. Therefore, it is second only to our own elders to pay New Year greetings to our neighbors and elders. Generally speaking, neighbors and elders will also give "lucky money".

The second is to visit relatives and friends for the New Year. Be sure to go to your parents-in-law's house on the first or second day, and bring gifts. After entering the door, you should bow down to the Buddha statue, ancestor statue and memorial tablet, and then bow down to your elders in turn.

Then there is a courtesy New Year greeting. If you want to pay a New Year call to your friends, all you have to do is bow to the Buddha when you enter the room. If you are equal to your master, you just have to bow your head. If you are older than yourself, you should still take the initiative to bow your head. The host should get down from his seat to help you, or even say that he is not polite to show his humility. Under normal circumstances, it is not advisable to sit for a long time, and leave after greeting. After the host worships, he should also pay a return visit another day.

There are various ways to pay New Year greetings, such as sending short messages, greeting cards, courtesy calls and telegrams. When you send a greeting card, you will also send your own business card.

In ancient times, if neighbors had too many relatives and friends, it was difficult to walk around the whole house. It's called "flying mail", and let the servant take the business card to pay a New Year call. There is a red paper bag with the word "Fu Jie" written on it in front of each house, which is the purpose of posting flying cards. This custom began in the upper class of the Song Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the Yantai Moon Order described the Beijing New Year Festival: "It's a fashion that the moon is flying and the sky is empty." Each family has set up a special door book to record the guests' contacts and flying photos. The front page of the door book is mostly the virtual relatives of four people: one is a centenarian who lives in centenarian lane; One said he was rich and lived in Yuanbao Street. One day, you promised someone and lived in the university archway; One day, Fu Zhao visited his master and lived in Five Blessingg Building. For good luck. So far, the gift of New Year cards and greeting cards during the Spring Festival is the legacy of this ancient exchange of flying cards.

It is very popular for ancient scholars to pay New Year greetings to each other. The New Year drill is today's New Year card, which evolved from ancient business cards. According to Zhao Yi's research in the Qing Dynasty, there was no paper in the Western Han Dynasty, so bamboo was cut into thorns, and the book was named "Ming Thorn". Later, people embroidered the words "business card" on the brocade with red wool. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, wood was replaced by paper, which was called "famous paper". In the Six Dynasties, it was called "Ming" for short, and in the Tang Dynasty it was called "door-shaped". Song dynasty was also called "hand stab" and "door stab".

Generally speaking, it is advisable to stay as a guest for half an hour to 40 minutes, which is polite and does not affect the host's reception of other guests. When you come in to say "Happy New Year" and leave in a hurry, it will also give people the feeling of "lack of sincerity".

Gifts are also very particular, which is also one of the elements of giving gifts to celebrate the New Year.

Gifts must be given properly. When giving New Year greetings to elders, teachers and teachers, you should bring some gifts appropriately. Gifts should not be too expensive and luxurious, but also "approachable". Holding a bunch of flowers and sending a beautiful greeting card has become a romantic and warm way for modern urban people to pay New Year greetings in recent years.

Pay attention to hygiene and safety in New Year gifts. For example, the cake given to you by others should not be transferred to others, otherwise the food will inevitably rot and deteriorate in the process of "traveling"; Give new year greetings to the elderly or patients, and send fruits that are beneficial to each other's health so as not to cause waste or even misunderstanding; If you send fireworks or something, don't buy fake and shoddy products.

In addition, pay attention to thrift when giving gifts.
