What’s the point of collecting firewood on New Year’s Day?

The emphasis on collecting firewood on the first day of the Lunar New Year is to collect some firewood, which means "gathering wealth". In this happy year, you will live a prosperous and peaceful year, and your family will be prosperous and prosperous.

Every time after the family reunion dinner at noon, people, old and young, hugged by relatives and friends, go to the mountains to play. When they go back, they take even a small wooden stick from the mountain with them. Go home to pray for prosperity and a good life for the whole family in the new year.

In the past, there were many mountains in rural areas. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family would go hiking in the mountains. They could not only exercise, but also collect some firewood to light a fire for cooking. Although people in many places no longer use firewood for cooking, the custom of climbing mountains to collect firewood on the first day of the new year has continued. The purpose is to hope for a good sign and hope to go out to "collect wealth" in the new year!
