As a post-00s generation, what are your special ways to celebrate the New Year?

The post-2000 generation has such a unique way to buy New Year’s goods. Instead of carrying New Year’s goods home during the Chinese New Year, they can just buy them online and send them home. It really kills two birds with one stone.

Although the Chinese New Year was poor at that time, it was very folk-custom. Starting from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people would make sugar melons and eat them as offerings to the Stove Lord. On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, they would clean the house, unpack and wash clothes, etc. Five or six steamed rice cakes and bought some simple new year products, fruit candies, sunflower seeds, peanuts, red dates, etc.

On the 27th and 8th, you buy a small amount of fish and meat, and you also have to steam various kinds of steamed buns. That is when the children wear new clothes during the New Year and some old clothes are washed. . The New Year is also very stressful before the 30th night. You have to put up the New Year, window grilles and Spring Festival couplets, and some even have to light up the fire in the courtyard (representing prosperity all year round). On the 30th day, adults are busiest after lunch. The children are the happiest when it comes to chopping and making dumplings. They spend the whole night playing and chasing each other around the fire, setting off firecrackers and staying up all night. This may be called a night vigil.
