The origin of visiting relatives during the Spring Festival

According to legend, the ancient "Nian" beasts were rampant and came out every year to harm animals and people. Until the arrival of an old man, it taught people how to drive away the "Year of the Year" beast. Every time the Year of the Year passed smoothly, the villagers would visit relatives and friends, congratulate each other, say hello and celebrate the "New Year". Over time, it has formed the tradition of visiting relatives in the New Year.

The custom of visiting relatives lasted from the second day of the first month to the sixteenth day of the first month. During this period, almost every family will prepare the most sumptuous meal to entertain relatives and enjoy the happiness of family reunion.

In the past, there was a saying that "an old woman is in the fourth day, and her mother-in-law is in the sixth day" and "see her father-in-law first, then see her uncle". Now, on the second day of the first month, when the flavor of the year is strong, the curtain of visiting relatives is opened.
