The first month is a very busy time, so the maids inside the palace prepare all kinds of new clothes and food for the new year, including chicken, duck, fish and meat dishes. They cook these dishes to make them very delicious, in order to be able to have a happy and fulfilling Spring Festival in this new year.

In modern society, the Spring Festival is also a very busy day, of course, is also a very happy day, because in the Spring Festival we can be reunited with family members, family members will come back from thousands of miles away to the old home, and loved ones together in peace and harmony and eat a meal, so the first month before the Spring Festival is a very hard-working and very busy, but very full of days, in which we will kill chickens and slaughter sheep and goats, and then we will eat a lot of food. Inside these days we will kill chickens and slaughter sheep and so on,so in our ancient Ming Dynasty society, such a custom is no exception, the people at that time can be said to have been more than ever, they start from the first month of the lunar calendar of each year to prepare.

In the lunar month of the twenty-fourth of this day people began to sacrifice the god of the stove, the so-called sacrifice of the god of the stove is the ordinary people's homes burned inside the stove, they have to cook some very good food on the stove to treat this folk god of the stove. Both the main ingredients that are caused are sugar as well as sugar cookies, as well as some beans and so on.

Besides the food, the officials in the Ming Dynasty would also add new clothes to themselves, for example, some officials would add some python patterned clothes to themselves. These clothes are embroidered with many lifelike pythons, they look a bit like dragons, but are not dragons, because the real dragons can only be used by the Son of Heaven, so it seems that in ancient times the hierarchy of the officials at that time had a standard regulation, and could not be arbitrarily transgressed. In addition to preparing the main food and clothes, these officials inside the palace will also prepare some snacks and some special dishes, in case of emergency, near the day of the Spring Festival, the palace inside an old extraordinary can be said to be the drums and gongs, people through the performance of a variety of activities to celebrate the New Year, they will be in the door on the pasted on a distinctive couplets or a powerful door god to bless their own In addition to that, they would hang a kind of gold, silver and eight treasures on their beds, which meant that the owner of the house would have better fortune in the coming year. To summarize, the ancient Chinese New Year is more lively than today's Spring Festival.
