Customs and Culture

? The New Year's Day in ancient China, which is what modern China calls the Spring Festival, is a custom that the Chinese government has listed as a legal holiday for all people across the country. festival. After a day off, we often adjust the weekends before or after the day, usually for three consecutive days. In modern China, the celebration of New Year's Day is much less important than the Spring Festival. Generally, agencies and enterprises will hold year-end collective celebrations, but there are very few private activities.

Since New Year’s Day was born during the Republic of China and evolved from the Spring Festival, when China first started to celebrate New Year’s Day, the customs and habits of the celebration were of course similar to the Spring Festival, or in other words, A smaller version of the Spring Festival. Although some traditional celebration methods are followed: setting off firecrackers, killing three lives, worshiping ghosts and gods, paying homage to ancestors, etc., they do not occupy a very important position in people's minds. In modern times, New Year’s Day celebration customs are even simpler.

Chinese New Year’s Day customs

Our country does not pay as much attention to New Year’s Day as New Year’s Day, so the general Chinese New Year’s Day custom is to post “Celebrate New Year’s Day”.

Three ways to celebrate New Year's Day

Method 1: As everyone in China and even the world knows, many countries have designated New Year's Day as a legal holiday and have a holiday on New Year's Day. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, New Year's Day was also designated as a legal holiday and a day off.

Method 2: Nowadays, activities organized by groups are more common, such as New Year's Day parties, hanging slogans celebrating New Year's Day, or holding group activities, etc. In the past, there were organizations that played gongs and drums and performed folk dances in groups. Now you can still see it on TV documentaries. Today, with the development of science and technology, it has evolved into a gala party or something like that. In recent years, there have been more tours, parties and other programs. Anyway, there are not many traditions on New Year's Day. It is a holiday on this day, so you can do whatever you want. Even New Year's Day only means a day off for the younger generation.

Method 3: Preserving the traditional Chinese way of celebrating lies among the people, especially in rural areas. Every New Year's Day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and worship the gods of various places, then the family will reunite and have a meal together. As for a more serious way of celebrating, I haven’t seen it yet.
