Chinese New Year’s Day customs: setting off firecrackers, worshiping gods, and killing chickens and geese. Major local stations will also hold New Year's Day parties to celebrate with performances. The whole family will sit around to watch, have dinner together, and be reunited, warm and happy.

Eating dumplings on New Year’s Day flourished in the north during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, "Miscellaneous Notes of Wanshu" written by Shenbang during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty said that Wanping County in the suburbs of Beijing "made flat food to celebrate New Year's Day and pray for longevity."

Eating rice cakes on New Year’s Day was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially in the south. Volume 2 of the "Scenery of the Imperial Capital" in the late Ming Dynasty records that on the New Year's Day of the first lunar month, "we eat jujube cakes and rice cakes every day". "Wei County Chronicle" during the Jiajing period in Hebei Province in the north said that "steamed sheep cake" was eaten locally.
