New Year's Eve is the last night at the end of the year. The last day of the year is called "year's minute", which means that the old year is replaced by the new year. New Year's Eve is a time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, to reunite the whole family and to worship the ancestors. Tomb-Sweeping Day, July 30th and Double Ninth Festival are traditional festivals in China to offer sacrifices to ancestors.
Because New Year's Eve usually falls on the 29th or 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is also called New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, people pay special attention to it. Every household is busy cleaning the courtyard, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, decorating lanterns, welcoming ancestors home for the New Year, and offering sacrifices with rice cakes, three meals and three teas and five wines.
