?The Spring Festival customs in various parts of our country include: sweeping dust.

"On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, dust the dust and sweep the house." According to "Lu Spring and Autumn Annals", my country had the custom of sweeping dust during the Spring Festival in the era of Yao and Shun.

According to folklore: sweeping dust during the New Year means "removing the old and making new arrangements", and its purpose is to sweep away all bad luck and bad luck.

This custom entrusts people with their desire to destroy the old and establish the new and their prayers to say goodbye to the old and usher in the new.

Pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Spring couplets are also called door couplets, spring posts, couplets, couplets, peach charms, etc. They describe the background of the times and express good wishes with neat, dualistic, concise and exquisite words. They are a unique literary form in my country.

This custom originated in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the ideological and artistic quality of Spring Festival couplets were improved.

Paste window grilles and paste the word "福" upside down.

Among the people, people also like to paste various paper-cuts - window grilles - on their windows.

Paper-cutting is a very popular folk art in my country and has been loved by people for thousands of years.

With its unique summary and exaggeration techniques, window grilles vividly express auspicious things and good wishes.

Posting the word "福" during the Spring Festival is a long-standing folk custom in my country.

The word "福" refers to blessing and luck, expressing people's yearning for a happy life and their wishes for a better future.

Some people simply paste the word "福" upside down to express "happiness has arrived" or "blessing has arrived".

New Year pictures.

New Year pictures, like Spring Festival couplets, originated from the "door god".

With the rise of woodblock printing, the content of New Year pictures is no longer limited to monotonous themes such as door gods, but has become rich and colorful to satisfy people's wishes of celebrating the good year.

There are three important producing areas for New Year paintings in my country: Taohuawu in Suzhou, Yangliuqing in Tianjin and Weifang in Shandong.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Shanghai Zheng Mantuo combined the calendar with New Year pictures.

This is a new form of New Year pictures.

This two-in-one New Year picture later developed into a wall calendar, which is now popular all over the country.

Lunar New Year's eve.

The night of the last day of the lunar year is called "New Year's Eve", and that night is called "New Year's Eve".

People often stay up all night on New Year's Eve, which is called staying up all night.

Su Shi's "Shou Sui": "Children are forced not to sleep, but stay together all night and have fun." There is a legend about the origin of New Year's Eve, the purpose is to drive away the vicious monster called Xi.

That night, "Xi" broke into the village and was so frightened that she ran back to the mountains and never dared to come out again.

So on the following New Year's Eve nights, every household posted red Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers to drive away the New Year's Eve beasts.

In order to seek peace in the new year, this custom has been passed down since then.

Stay up late.

Keeping the year old on New Year's Eve is one of the most important annual customs. The custom of keeping the year old has been around for a long time.

The earliest record can be found in the "Fengtu Zhi" of Zhouchu in the Western Jin Dynasty: On New Year's Eve, each person greets each other with gifts, which is called "giving the new year";

"Dividing the year old"; everyone stays up all night waiting for the dawn, which is called "keeping the year old".

On New Year's Eve, the whole family gets together, has New Year's Eve dinner, lights candles or oil lamps, sits around the fire and chats, waiting for the moment to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The all-night vigil symbolizes driving away all evil plagues and diseases, and looking forward to it.

May you have good luck in the new year.

In ancient times, staying up late had two meanings: older people staying up late meant "saying goodbye to the old year", which meant cherishing time; young people staying up late meant staying up late to extend the life of their parents.

Since the Han Dynasty, the transition time between the new and the old year has generally been at midnight.

Firecrackers.

Chinese folk have a saying of "opening the door with firecrackers".

That is to say, when the New Year arrives, the first thing every household does when they open the door is to set off firecrackers, with the sound of beeping firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new.

Setting off firecrackers can create a festive and lively atmosphere. It is a festive entertainment activity that can bring people joy and good luck.

Eat rice cakes and make dumplings.

Steamed rice cake. Rice cake has become a must-have seasonal food for almost every household because of its homophonic pronunciation of "year high" and its varied tastes.

The styles of rice cakes include square yellow and white rice cakes, which symbolize gold and silver and convey the meaning of getting rich in the new year.

The night before the actual Chinese New Year is called Reunion Night. People who are away from home have to rush home thousands of miles away, and the whole family sits together to make dumplings to celebrate the New Year.

Dumplings are used to symbolize reunion and joy; they also take the meaning of New Year's Eve, which is very auspicious; in addition, because dumplings resemble ingots in shape, eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year also has the auspicious meaning of "bringing in wealth and treasure".

Open the door and firecrackers.

On the morning of the Spring Festival, when the door is opened, firecrackers are set off first, which is called "opening the door and firecrackers".

After the sound of firecrackers, the ground was filled with broken red, shining like clouds and brocade, which was called "Man Tang Hong".

At this time, the streets were full of auspiciousness and joy.

pay a New Year call.

An important activity during the Spring Festival is to go to new friends' homes and neighbors to wish them a happy New Year, formerly known as New Year greetings.

The custom of paying New Year greetings among the Han people has been around since the Han Dynasty.

It became very popular after the Tang and Song Dynasties. Some people who did not need to go there in person could send congratulations with name cards.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was called "thorn", so the business card was also called "famous thorn".

After the Ming Dynasty, many families put a red paper bag on their door to collect name cards, called a "door book."

When paying New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, the younger generation should first pay New Year greetings to the elders and wish them longevity and health. The elders can distribute the New Year's money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that the New Year's money can suppress evil spirits, because "Sui" and "祟" are homophonic, so the younger generation will receive the New Year's money.

You can spend one year in peace.

The forms of mutual New Year greetings between people can be roughly divided into four categories based on their social relationships: First, visiting relatives.

The second is a courtesy visit.

The third is a thank you visit.

The fourth is door-to-door visits.

Now, in some agencies, organizations, companies, and schools, everyone gathers together to congratulate each other, which is called "group worship."

With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings has constantly added new content and forms.
