On the "kitchen day", rice wine, sugar, fruit and other offerings are arranged on the stove. Incense and candles are burned to offer sacrifices. The middle-aged women in the family lead the way.

New year's Eve is called New Year's Eve, so one of the important contents of "New Year's Eve" is to comfort the ancestors, also known as huannian. On New Year's Eve, every family hangs red lanterns, pastes Spring Festival couplets and new year's pictures, and sits together to eat "New Year's dinner".

At the end of the meal, the bowl should be left with leftovers, which means "enough food is enough to spare".

In the past, no matter where they work on New Year's Eve, their families have to go home on this day. There is a saying among the people that "there is no mother if they don't go home during the new year's Eve", which shows that it is a great event for them to be filial to the old.

In the kitchen, the meaning of "endless fireworks" is used to bury the seeds of arson, and the nails are nailed on the walls in the hope of "increasing the number of people" and prosperity in the coming year. Paste red paper on the utensils and cut them into the characters of "Xi" and "Shou" to show good luck.

On the night of "New Year's Eve", the elders should distribute lucky money to the younger generation (especially the younger generation), which means "suppressing the victory and expelling the evil". The younger generation should keep the age for their elders and hope that they will live a long and healthy life. Usually, on the night of "New Year's Eve", the whole family get together to have a drink and enjoy their family. Until the new year's bell, thousands of firecrackers, sound one after another.

To the God of wealth

A few years ago, in order to make a living, there were many people who "sent Yuanbao" to the countryside. During the Spring Festival, they held the printed red paper God of wealth and read the ballad "send the God of wealth" from door to door. I remember that the first sentence was often: "God of wealth, God of wealth, comes in to invite happy events and wealth; there is a money tree in the East and a cornucopia in the West..." After that, I would like to say some words of congratulation to get rich in order to expect others to give him some money. However, in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who send money to the God of wealth. Perhaps, this is due to the continuous progress of society and the improvement of people's life.

Stores open

In the past, during the Spring Festival, most local stores were closed, and residents bought food and daily necessities before the festival. After the festival, after the third and fourth day of junior high school (some even choose an auspicious day), the stores open one after another. At the beginning of the market, Zhang hung hung up and set off firecrackers. In recent decades, many shops have been open for the convenience of residents
