New Year's Day customs:

1. As known throughout China and even the world, 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 the People's Republic of China, New Year's Day was also designated as a statutory holiday.

2. Activities organized by groups are more common now, such as New Year’s Day parties, hanging slogans celebrating New Year’s Day, or holding group activities. In the past, there were organizations that played gongs and drums and performed folk dances collectively. , can still be seen on TV documentaries, and with the development of science and technology today, it has evolved into a gala or something.

In recent years, there have been more tours, parties and other programs. Anyway, there are not many traditions on New Year's Day. It is a holiday on this day and people can use it as they wish. Even New Year's Day only means a day off for the younger generation.
