How to send text messages to elders?

It is good to send a message to pay New Year greetings with "Best wishes to you ...".

New Year greeting is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their best wishes to each other. In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to celebrate the New Year for the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, greeting the well-being of life and so on. In case of friends and relatives of the same generation, we should also salute and congratulate them. With the development of the times, the custom of New Year's greetings is constantly adding new contents and forms. In addition to following the previous New Year's greetings, etiquette telegrams, telephone calls, short messages, and online greetings have emerged.

ancient times

in ancient times, there were two main contents of family greetings: First, greetings to the gods of heaven and earth and their deceased ancestors. After getting up on the first day of the first month, you should first set up the portrait of your deceased ancestors in the prominent position of the altar in the hall, set up offerings, burn incense and candles, and kowtow to your ancestors and all the immortals.

So, even if you have met each other on the road, you should go to the altar of each family in person to pay a New Year call to your ancestors. The other is that the younger generation pays New Year greetings to the elders who are still alive. Usually, we bow down to the deceased ancestors first, and then to the living elders, including kowtowing to the elders, congratulating them on a happy New Year and being healthy forever.
