Today is New Year's Eve, that is, the Spring Festival. Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China.

The Spring Festival, as everyone knows, is not a special festival. Everyone thinks that "the Spring Festival is very lively, because it is a reunion festival, which is a matter of course." But I don't think so. This festival is to commemorate a monster. Its name is Nian, and it often devours passers-by, which makes people suffer. Later, an old man with a white beard appeared. He subdued Nian. In order to prevent Nian from running down again, people scare Nian by setting off firecrackers and pasting red paper, so they have the habit of celebrating the New Year now.

My hometown, Guilin, has some "oddities" in celebrating the Spring Festival. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you about it! On New Year's Eve, every household will cook a table full of delicious food, and there are many snacks, including Ciba, glutinous rice, zongzi and rice cakes. The first "strange" is that the food is on the table, but the adults just don't let us eat it first. Instead, we can go to the table to eat together after worshipping at the God kan, but we can't eat fish when we eat, so we must wait until the next day. This is called "more than one year" by the adults.

The second "oddity" is that everyone will wait until the New Year's Eve when the New Year's bell rings. Every household will light firecrackers at the same time, and everyone will greet each other with "Happy New Year". Before going to bed, we all have to eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls, which represents the happiness of every household.

In the middle of the night, the lights of every household gradually went out, and the whole city of Guilin fell asleep. At this time, a thick fog surrounded Guilin, making the Spring Festival night more hazy and charming.
