What are the customs of New Year in Tianjin?

The Chinese New Year customs in this place include putting up blessings upside down, putting up Spring Festival couplets and eating New Year's Eve dinner.

1, reverse blessing. In our country, people often use the word "Fu" to express their yearning and pursuit for auspiciousness, wishful thinking and happiness. Whenever we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, every household should put the word "Fu" on the door, which means that we are blessed to enter the house. In many places, the word "Fu" is reversed, and the homonym of "Dao" and "Dao" is used to mean "Fu is here". Tianjin is also such a custom.

2. Post Spring Festival couplets. Sticking Spring Festival couplets is an activity during the Spring Festival, which has been very popular since the Song Dynasty. Every family has the custom of sticking Spring Festival couplets every year. Spring Festival couplets, commonly known as "appropriate" and "Spring Post", are a kind of couplets. Because they are posted during the Spring Festival, they are called Spring Festival couplets. In Tianjin, on the eve of the Spring Festival, every household should put up red Spring Festival couplets. A pair of festive and warm Spring Festival couplets expresses people's good wishes to welcome the New Year and look forward to a new life.

3. Eat New Year's Eve dinner. It is an important custom in Tianjin to have a family reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve. As the most important traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival is a good opportunity for family reunion, especially as many people are getting busier and busier at work.
