Wuchang regards the fourth day of the first month as "New Husband's New Year". When the new son-in-law returns to the Yue family, he must endure the teasing of the Yue family and not get angry. The order of Huang Bei's New Year greetings is "family worship on the first day, mother-in-law worship on the second day and family worship on the third day". Those who lose their loved ones at home will write a dress on a wastebasket and stick it at the door, refusing to celebrate the New Year.
On the first and second days of the New Year's Day, people don't sweep the floor, draw water or even make a fire. Food is prepared in advance, which is called "pressing the old". It was not until the third day that I began to carry water and burn paper money by the well pool, saying that it was "buying water". The next day, Tianmen Wei will also be taken down and burned. As the saying goes, "the doorman's paper should be burned in the third day, and everyone should look for physiology." At the beginning of the new year, when we picked up a pen to write, we used to write a picture of "Everything is fine" on red paper and stick it on the wall.
The fifteenth day of the first month is the climax of the Spring Festival. When there are no gongs or drums, people regard iron cans as gongs and drums. So there is a saying in Xiaogan that "knock on the tin can in the first half of the month".
