In the early morning of the first day, every household put on a pair of sonic booms and a hundred cannons to wish good luck and prosperity in the new year.

Eat rice cake

Eat more rice cakes for breakfast. "Cake" and "Gao" are homophonic, meaning "getting higher every year".

Pay new year's call

Young people who get up early pay New Year greetings to their parents and other elders, and then go out to pay New Year greetings with gifts such as jujube, longan and litchi. People of the same generation pay New Year greetings, hand in hand, and exchange greetings such as "Happy New Year" and "Congratulations on making a fortune". New Year's greetings continued until the first half of the first month and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. On the morning of the first day of the first month of each year, the leading departments of the party and government invite people from all walks of life to hold collective sacrifices to reduce the cumbersome sacrifices.

New year wine

During the Spring Festival, families hold "New Year's Wine" to entertain relatives and friends. There are no certain specifications for New Year's greetings, and the time is generally between the first day and the fifth day. Zongyang is used to putting wine on the "perfect truth" day of ancestor worship on the fifth day of the fifth day.

On the first day of junior high school, the scholar cut a piece of red paper, wrote a poem to congratulate the New Year, or wrote the words "Start writing in the New Year, be prosperous", which is called "Start writing".

open the market

General shops are closed during the Spring Festival, and residents need food and daily necessities before the festival. After the third day and the fourth day, the shops opened one after another. When the market opened, Zhang Hong was injured and set off firecrackers. In recent decades, for the convenience of residents, many shops have opened as usual on the first day of the New Year, or opened their doors in turn in the same industry.

Send aluminum ingot

In the countryside, there are people who send gold ingots. During the Spring Festival, two partners took copper coins and evergreen branches and read the ballad "Send Gold ingot" from door to door. A person should say a blessing, and a person should say a "good". For example, "Yuanbao enters the Taoist altar-good!" "The room is full of gold and silver-good!" There is a saying in Huaining that "it is good to give gold ingots on the first day of the first month", which refers to this custom.

Chambari

On the eighth day of the first month, every yard burns firewood, which is called "Liao Huo Pan". The children jumped into the fire and set off fireworks for fun. Good men and women go to Yingjiang Temple to pray for the well-being of the whole family.
