New Year's greeting activities are centered on offering wishes and praying for blessings, and are carried out in the form of eliminating the old, worshipping ancestors, exorcising evil spirits and praying for a bumper harvest. The content is rich and colorful, vivid and festive, and the annual flavor is rich, which embodies the essence of traditional culture of Chinese civilization. Here are a few Spring Festival customs with "annual flavor", which can be carried out during the Spring Festival ~

A busy year:

The 23rd or 24th day of the end of the year is called "off-year" among the people, and people have been busy since childhood. Off-year doesn't mean a certain day. Due to local customs, the days called off-year are different. During the off-year period, the main folk activities include sweeping dust and offering sacrifices to the kitchen gods.

Dust removal:

Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household should clean the environment and do a year-end cleaning. Dust removal is one of the new customs of getting rid of old cloth years ago. The north is called "cleaning the house" and the south is called "cleaning the house". On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, people have been preparing for the Spring Festival since childhood.

Make tofu:

"On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, grinding bean curd." In some places, there is a custom of eating tofu residue before New Year's Eve. In some areas, it is said that after the kitchen god died, the jade emperor would go to the lower bound to see if each family was acting like the kitchen god, so each family ate tofu dregs to show their hardship and avoid the punishment of the jade emperor.

2. homemade new year's goods: during the spring festival, family food is a very important part. We don't have to buy all the expensive food, but we can consider making our own new year's goods, which not only saves money, but also reflects our intentions and creativity.

For example, we can make our own jiaozi, glutinous rice balls, bacon and some snacks. You can also invite friends and relatives to participate in the production process, and everyone can work together to increase interactivity and add more fun to the Spring Festival. Making new year's goods together can increase intimacy and interaction, and help family members communicate better.

3. Simplify gifts: Giving gifts to relatives and friends is one of the traditional customs. If you are worried about spending too much, you can consider some practical small gifts.
