What does New Year's Day do?

The ancient custom of New Year's Day was to light firecrackers, change peach symbols, drink Tu Su wine, watch the New Year's Eve and enjoy the lanterns.

On New Year's Day, emperors in ancient China held ceremonies to celebrate and pray for sacrifices, such as offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, writing couplets on doors, writing blessings and dancing dragon lanterns. Folk activities such as offering sacrifices to gods and buddhas, offering sacrifices to ancestors, posting couplets, setting off firecrackers, observing the New Year, having a reunion dinner and numerous "social fires" gradually formed.

China's ancient New Year's Day diet was also rich and colorful. The Chronicle of Jingchu's Years Old records that Jingchu paid tribute to the guests on New Year's Day in the Southern Dynasties, followed by pepper and cypress wine, peach soup, Tu Su wine, táng, and spiced dishes, which were spread in powder, but ghost pills were taken, and each of them ate an egg. Among them, there are peach soup drinks, food and medicines, all of which have their own special meanings.

The current custom is that various organizations will organize various literary activities, schools will organize New Year's Day and New Year's Eve parties, companies will generally put up a banner to celebrate New Year's Day, and better units will give out some benefits, hold a New Year's Eve party, get together for a meal, or social organizations will organize New Year's Day dinners, theater parties and other programs.
