After breakfast, it is common to worship ancestors. This is a men's affair, while women usually do not go out and make ring tea at home. The men have to go to the halls of all the houses to pay homage to the ancestors, as usual, offering chickens, meat, rice cakes, etc., lighting big red candles and incense, and setting off long strings of firecrackers. The countryside more than a village, a family gathering and living, worship ancestors, smoke, firecrackers sound continuous, lively and extraordinary.

The custom of paying homage on the first day of the year is inherited from the ancient customs of the Central Plains. However, there are different customs in the same Hakka region. As far as Wuping is concerned, on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the urban area, there is the custom of going to each other's houses to pay respect to each other; on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the countryside, the adults do not pay respect to the New Year, and keep the Lunar New Year in their homes, but just play in the public **** place.

Children with firecrackers in their hands and New Year's money and snacks in their pockets, walk from house to house in groups, playing to their heart's content, with a burst of innocent laughter like silver bells floating out from time to time.

According to Fuzhou tradition, after the 24th day of the 12th month of the lunar calendar, there is no killing, so the meat to be eaten in the first month of the year has to be prepared before that. The women of the family hang the killed chickens and pigs from the ceiling, wait for them to dry out, then stew them and place them in urns to marinate them in wine and a variety of ingredients.

On New Year's Eve, before eating the reunion dinner, people in Fuzhou make offerings to their ancestors. The rice cakes are sliced and fried, and then put on a plate to be offered to the ancestors. People in Fuzhou attach great importance to rice cakes, in addition to ancestor worship, rice cakes are also a dessert on the reunion table, even if you do not eat, the table is also essential.
