2. The Torch Festival of the Yi people, which is also the Year of the Yi people.
In the eyes of the Yi people, fire symbolizes light, justice, prosperity, and a powerful force that can destroy all evil.
The Torch Festival is a festival of joy, love and happiness for the Yi people.
3. Hong Kong Customs The Lunar New Year is a grand festival in our country’s tradition, and I believe that every Chinese person does not know it.
However, celebrating the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong is completely different from traditional customs and atmosphere.
In recent years, few Hong Kong people have traditionally posted Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures at home during the Lunar New Year. Instead, they have posted Huichun messages such as "business is prosperous" and "safe travel" in some shops or homes.
Even so, the original intention of posting Huichun is the same as posting Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures. It means auspiciousness and hopes that everything will go well and be safe in the coming year.
In addition, lion dances, dragon lantern dances, etc. will also appear in some villages and walled villages in the New Territories. Large-scale lion dances and dragon lantern dance performances are also rare to see on the streets of urban areas during the New Year.
As for setting off firecrackers and firecrackers, they are strictly prohibited in Hong Kong. However, since 1982, a grand fireworks show has been held on Victoria Harbor every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year. This has become a part of welcoming the Spring Festival in the past ten years.
program.
Hong Kong is known as a "food paradise". There are many customs related to eating during the Spring Festival. Most families will also have a "reunion dinner" during the Spring Festival. They usually have a banquet at home. On New Year's Eve, the whole family goes up and down, inside and outside.
Get together outside and enjoy dinner.
As for the main attraction after dinner, the first choice is to visit the flower market. During the Lunar New Year, there are New Year’s Eve markets in many places in Hong Kong and Kowloon, among which the flower market in Victoria Park is the largest and busiest.
Hong Kong citizens are accustomed to visiting the flower market as a family after dinner. On New Year's Eve, there are even more crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, everyone celebrating the festival together.
When celebrating the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong, the happiest thing is the children collecting "lushies". When paying New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, you can hear the laughter everywhere as they "beg for" lushies.
"Lishi" originally meant "good things" and meant good luck and good fortune. It has also become an indispensable custom for spending time with relatives during the Spring Festival.
4. Macao’s New Year’s Customs Macao’s New Year’s customs are unique.
"Xie Zao" is one of the most traditional Chinese customs preserved in Macao.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people in Macao call it "Thanks to the Kitchen God".
According to Chinese tradition, Macau people also use kitchen sugar to treat the Kitchen God. It is said that sugar is used to paste the Kitchen God's mouth to prevent him from speaking ill of the Jade Emperor.
I saw a portrait of Santa Claus on the kitchen stove of a Macanese family in Macau Flower Street. The strange thing is that there is a couplet on the side of the portrait of Santa Claus: "God speaks good things, and returns home with good luck."
Macau people celebrate the Chinese New Year on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is jokingly called "easy to fatten" in Cantonese. Most business owners treat their employees to a "reunion dinner" at the end of the year to show good fortune and good luck.
.
The flavor of the New Year in Macau can be truly felt from the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
On New Year's Eve, staying up late and visiting the flower market are two major events for Macau people to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new year.
