1, eat jiaozi
On New Year's Day, there will be customs and habits of eating jiaozi in northern areas. Because New Year's Day is the renewal of the old and new years, also known as the year of jiaozi, and jiaozi is homophonic with jiaozi, so on New Year's Day, everyone will eat jiaozi, hoping to have a very good omen and be lucky in the new year.
2. Eat glutinous rice balls
Every year 1 month 1 day, New Year's Day is a day for everyone to get together, so in order to celebrate the coming of this day, the older generation will cook a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls for the younger generation early in the morning, hoping to welcome the arrival of the New Year after eating it, and also hope that the days will be happy, reunion and sweet after eating it.
3. Eat rice cakes
New year's cakes have the meaning of getting taller every year, so eating new year's cakes on New Year's Day also means a new year. Like new year's cakes, life and career can be thriving, which is a good sign. Therefore, there is a custom of eating rice cakes on New Year's Day in southern China.
Ways to celebrate New Year's Day:
1, China and even the whole world know that many countries have designated New Year's Day as a legal holiday and have a holiday on New Year's Day. After the founding of New China, it is also stipulated that New Year's Day is a legal holiday with one day off.
2. At present, activities organized by groups are more common, such as New Year's Day get-togethers, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding group activities. In the past, people organized gongs and drums and collectively danced folk dances, but now they can still be seen in TV documentaries. Today, with the development of science and technology, it has evolved into a gala evening with tourism, parties and other programs.
3. The traditional way of celebrating in China lies in the folk, especially in the countryside. Every new year's day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and after worshipping the gods of all parties, it is a family reunion and a meal. As for a stronger way to celebrate, I haven't seen it yet.
