The custom of Yixing Spring Festival
Yixing Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival for Yixing people, with many customs and habits. Moreover, even in Yixing, the customs of the Spring Festival are quite different.

New Year's Eve:

Post Spring Festival couplets, worship ancestors, clean up, eat birthday wine, have a reunion dinner and so on.

New year's day:

Yixing is the most solemn traditional festival among the people. On this day, everyone puts on brand-new clothes, says auspicious words when they meet, and is not allowed to call names. In the morning, the male host is the first to open the door, set off firecrackers, pay a New Year call to the ancestral shrine, and then pay a New Year call to the elders, generally not going out.

New year's day:

Go out to visit relatives and friends, but first pay a New Year call to your uncle.

Grade 3-15:

The bride and husband are brought back by their wives and brothers to celebrate their mother's birthday, and the elders take turns to treat them, which is called "waiting for the new official" and "inviting the bride", and the elders give the younger generation "lucky money".

New Year's greeting guests usually stay for dinner until the end of the first half of the month. Say "Congratulations on making a fortune" and "Make a fortune when you meet" when you pay a New Year call. The younger generation called the elder "healthy, like a longevity star", and the elder replied "smart in reading, like a tiger".

The fifteenth day of the first month:

Yixing is called "the first half of the first month" (Lantern Festival), and lights are lit everywhere, so it is also called "Lantern Festival". There are lantern riddles, stilts, dragon lanterns, lanterns, lion dances and other folk entertainment. The famous Yixing "Fan Shi gongs and drums" resounded through the sky. The most prosperous Lantern Festival is Xushemei Village. In the past, on the fifteenth day of the first month, groups in Yixing would set off large fireworks to celebrate the grand and cheerful Lantern Festival.
