Post Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures.

In the old society, red notes were posted, such as "travel well", "make money for me" and "benefits from coming from all directions". Since the 1950s, more Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures have been posted.

Spring festival taboo

Don't sweep the floor during the Chinese New Year, for fear of sweeping away wealth. It is forbidden to say "fast", that is, it is forbidden to say "death", "illness", "disaster", "killing", "crying" and "ghost". Occasionally, listeners should use auspicious words. Avoid breaking the bowl. If a guest breaks a bowl while taking hot tea, he will say "send it away". Avoid taking medicine and injections, borrowing money to collect debts, breaking ground to excrete feces, crying and sulking.

Insect burning ant

Use Yuanxiao to dip the fragrance of oil in every corner of every household, or children use Qiu Zi to light turpentine and shout, "Burn insects, ants go to heaven, mice and children bathe in the river!" Some families also have the custom of "quenching soup" to eliminate disasters. "Quenching soup" is also called "cleaning filth". Put pebbles or iron balls on the fire to burn red, and put them in vinegar to produce thick smoke and aroma, which has the function of sterilization and disinfection. In some places, people were sent to light bonfires in the wild in the mountains that night, which doubled the atmosphere of the program.
