In the old society, on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, every family "offered sacrifices to the stove" and ate "fruit of offering sacrifices to the stove" after the sacrifice. As the saying goes, "Twenty-three people worship the stove, twenty-four people dust, twenty-five people make snacks, and twenty-seven people go home (referring to long-term workers)".
Most ordinary families "send the Spring Festival" after 27th, while wealthy families choose "Xie Nian" (meaning to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year) in advance to offer three or five sacrifices. Donors bathe themselves and say auspicious words such as "mediocre wife" and "making a fortune in the New Year", which is called "scattering blessings".
On the 30th day of the lunar calendar, every household sticks Spring Festival couplets, door gods and Qinglong paper, and nave hangs portraits of ancestors in previous dynasties for wine.

Set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, and get together with relatives and friends during the Spring Festival holiday.
