What is the Chinese New Year custom in Qingyuan Yingde?
People in rural areas of Britain and Germany attach importance to festivals and have a "festival" every month. China's New Year (Spring Festival), May Day (Dragon Boat Festival), August 15th (Mid-Autumn Festival), Double Ninth Festival and winter solstice are "big festivals", and the rest are "leisure festivals". Summer sowing, spring ploughing and autumn harvest are also festivals in each season, which are called "Shangtiankan". The customs are as follows: the first month: the first day to the fourteenth day, collectively known as "New Year". Its festivals and customs are similar to those in other places. Its distinctive feature is that the first day is "fast day", and you are not allowed to eat any food containing meat or kill anything. No cleaning, no washing (bathing). The third day is "seeing the poor off", which is early in the morning. Every household is scrambling to clean up the inside and outside early, and then use a dustpan to send the swept garbage to the head (mouth) of the road. This is called "sending the poor to send bad luck". Be sure to take a bath at night to wash away your "poverty" and "bad luck". After "seeing the poor", you can visit relatives. The length of visiting relatives depends on the distance of the relationship and the distance of the journey. Short, same-day round trip, long, can last for five or six days. However, whether you go the next day or just leave the tenth day, you must get home before eleven. Because it is early in the morning, all the men in the family will go to the ancestral temple to "turn on the lights" (hang up the lights). 13, turn on the lights in the temple. Fourteen is called "mourning". The standard of eating and drinking on this day is second only to New Year's Eve (New Year's Eve). As the saying goes, "the good dishes on New Year's Eve are sold out".
