What's the temperature during the Spring Festival in Hainan?
During the Spring Festival in Hainan, the temperature is 16-26 degrees, and the winter in Hainan is very warm, with an average temperature of 27 degrees during the day. It is recommended to wear cool and breathable clothes, such as shirts, thin long skirts and thin T-shirts made of cotton and linen. The average temperature at night is 265438 0℃. It is recommended to wear short suits, T-shirts, thin jeans, casual clothes, professional suits and other comfortable clothes made of single cotton and linen fabrics.
Compared with the north, the southeast of Hainan Island has a lower latitude (low latitude and high temperature). There are mountains in the middle of winter to block the cold air, so it won't be too cold in winter; In summer, the south wind and southeast monsoon bring a lot of water from the Pacific Ocean, and the area is windward slope, which blocks the warm and humid airflow from the Pacific Ocean, cools down and has more rainfall.
Due to the rainy weather on the windward slope, the atmosphere has a strong weakening effect on solar radiation in summer, and the temperature will not rise excessively; In addition, the area is located in the eastern coast, and the seawater plays a role in regulating the temperature, making the annual temperature difference in the southeast smaller.
Characteristics and customs of the Spring Festival in Hainan cities and counties

Eat vegetarian food on New Year's Day.
Eating fast on New Year's Day is also a traditional custom of Haikou people. Zhai Caibao is a traditional dish of Haikou people. Eating fast on the first day means that you will not kill anything in the coming year. Today, this custom has been largely preserved. In the eyes of many people, fasting on New Year's Day is good for health by adjusting the diet structure for the New Year.
Wenchang
Guests bring their own firecrackers when visiting New Year.
White sugar bibimbap used to be the first meal of many Wenchang people in the New Year, which meant sweetness. Wenchang chicken, one of the four famous dishes in Hainan, is definitely the protagonist of Wenchang people's Spring Festival. From New Year's Eve to Lantern Festival, Wenchang Chicken is indispensable on the table of Wenchang people.
In Wenchang, during New Year's greetings, guests should bring their own firecrackers and then play them for their host's family. It is understood that this is not only the custom of Wenchang, but also the custom of Tom Town in Danzhou. Locals think it is lucky for guests to bring firecrackers to pay New Year's greetings, and which one is popular with more firecrackers. Of course, many people don't care much about these details now. As long as guests come to visit, they will be very welcome.
Brew bride wine
In Futian, Shang _, Tanmen and other places in the south of Qionghai, the custom of "brewing bride wine" is still popular. This year, a daughter got married and started a family. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, she went back to her mother's house to visit all her uncles and brothers. Every household holds a banquet, waiting for their daughter and son-in-law to pay a New Year call. I'm afraid it's ok to move chopsticks and eat one or two. The head of household also gives red envelopes to his daughter and son-in-law.
Climb the peak
Have a good sleep and eat squid.
In Lingao, after the whole family eats the New Year's Eve dinner, adults let their children put on new clothes and socks to sleep. This is called "having a good sleep". The longer you sleep, the happier you are. When it's time to burn incense, the whole family wakes up. The children pay New Year greetings to their parents, and the younger generation pays New Year greetings to their elders. The latter gives red envelopes to the former.
On the wine table of New Year's greetings, a well-off family has an indispensable dish, that is cuttlefish. Lingao dialect calls cuttlefish "red", which sounds a bit like "tong". I ate a "passport" for the New Year, and I did everything all year round, and everything went smoothly. Therefore, in the first month, Lingao cuttlefish was very expensive and sold well.
Lingshui
Take betel nuts for the New Year.
People in Lingshui love eat areca, and betel nut has a special meaning in Lingshui people's hearts, especially on such an important day as the Spring Festival. Before the Chinese New Year, every household in Lingshui will prepare a lot of betel nuts. On New Year's Day, it's not bad to hold a handful of betel nuts to "act" when it's time to pay a New Year call to the elders. Every time I meet my elders, the younger generation will take out two small betel nuts with a "small triangle" and put them in their palms, then hold them in both hands, respectfully handing them over and saying "Happy New Year". The elder smiled and took the betel nut, representing the most sincere blessing from the younger generation.
Danzhou
Do bacon to welcome guests, don't go out on the first day.
During the Spring Festival, sausages and bacon are the necessary dishes for Hakka people to entertain guests during the Spring Festival. Hakkas in Danzhou will cook sausages and bacon at the end of the year. During the Spring Festival, rice cakes are also prepared at home, but not every year.
Vegetarianism on the first day of the first month is the choice of some families. On the first day of New Year's Day, I still kept the habit of not going out in Danzhou until the second day of school. Danzhou is a place with many folk activities. From New Year's Eve to Lantern Festival, Yangpu and Baimajing will dance dragons irregularly, and some places will have tunes, which are very lively.
Wanning
Look at time by age
The Spring Festival in Wanning is very long, from December 23rd to January 16th. There is a folk proverb in Wanning: 2324 people send stoves, 2526 people pick houses, 2728 people put pigs and 2930 people celebrate the New Year! On the first day of junior high school, two people spent money, on the third day, four people called for being an official, on the fifth day, six people did it, and on the seventh day, eight people carried sticks.
In China, people keep vigil until midnight on New Year's Eve, which is called "dividing the year". It means that the old and the new are separated from each other. In Wanning, there is a custom of "dividing the year" on New Year's Eve. This is a very interesting thing. New Year's Eve is the last time to invite ancestors to dinner at the end of the year. On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, it is the beginning of the new year, and then the ancestors are invited to eat vegetarian food. In fact, these ceremonies are a special way to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and they are full of strong New Year culture. This is how the people of Wancheng celebrate the New Year. Wancheng people are divided into years. Someone asked Mr. Wang to choose the time in advance, that is, which time is most conducive to "dividing the year".
Sanya
Make rice cakes on New Year's Eve.
Speaking of Chinese New Year, many cities and counties in Hainan have the custom of making rice cakes, and Sanya is no exception, but the brown sugar rice cakes in Sanya are a must among many rice cakes. In the past, brown sugar rice cakes could only be eaten in the New Year, and every household would set up a pot to cook in front of the door on New Year's Eve. Now that life is good, you can also buy brown sugar rice cakes that you can only eat in the past, but every New Year, everyone will still create an atmosphere of feeling the New Year with their own hands.
