Maoming, Guangdong: Have you ever heard of such a thing as inviting strangers to dinner, and hosting a big banquet at home to invite strangers to dinner? In rural Maoming, Guangdong, this is a common occurrence every New Year. In other people's homes, this is called "annual regulation", also called "meal period", which has a history of hundreds of years in the local area. Maoming's "year example" generally starts from the third day of the New Year's Eve and lasts until the end of February of the lunar calendar, and the villages stagger the dates. During the Spring Festival in a village, villagers from surrounding villages come to watch the excitement, and every household holds a banquet to entertain relatives and friends. Whether you know it or not, you warmly hosted tea, rice, wine and vegetables and ate a meal at will. Diners don't need to greet each other. After a brief greeting and mutual blessing, they went straight to the point: eat! After an hour, the diners will leave after eating their fill, and the host will give them some garlic to show what they want to do in the New Year. By this time, the next batch of guests may have been waiting at the door.
