What are the customs in Beilun for the New Year?

Spring Festival The first day of the first lunar month, formerly known as New Year and New Year's Day, was called Spring Festival after the Revolution of 1911, commonly known as "Chinese New Year" or "Chinese New Year", which is a traditional festival with the most national characteristics of the Chinese nation. Beilun area, like other parts of the country, regards the Spring Festival as the most joyful, peaceful, grand and warm traditional festival in a year.

In the old society, parents said auspicious words early in the morning and fired three "open the door" guns. A big family set a table in front of their ancestors, and Chen Guo entertained them with wine. The elders led their children and grandchildren to burn incense and candles to the portraits of their ancestors and knelt down to pay homage. Later, the younger generation paid New Year greetings to their elders, which was called "New Year greetings". The New Year greeting etiquette evolved from bowing and kowtowing in the late Qing Dynasty to New Year greeting, and then to the later evolution. On this day, people put on new clothes and shoes, eat soup for breakfast, and the old man, as a "disciple of the world", goes to the temple to burn incense at midnight. On that day, they didn't draw water, pour water, sweep the floor, beg for fire, move knives and scissors, kill animals or string together. When a person goes out to visit relatives and neighbors, his nephew pays New Year greetings to his uncle, husband and uncle, which is called "New Year greetings". He should have gone to bed early that night and set out to "close the door" before going to bed. When he stayed at home that night, people usually called it "Christmas Eve". From the first day to the fifth day, families hold banquets with each other, which is called "New Year's Eve". After the fifth day, the custom of Chinese New Year basically ended.
