Traditional customs place expectations on them.

Sticking New Year's Red is a very popular traditional custom in China. During the Spring Festival, every household will decorate the festive atmosphere by pasting the red decorations of the previous year (that is, Spring Festival couplets, blessings and other red elements). According to the existing customs, New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in China are not just the first day of the New Year. In people's minds, the Spring Festival begins in late December of the lunar calendar and doesn't end until after the Lantern Festival. During the Spring Festival, no matter in the city or in the countryside, every household should choose Nian Hong, which expresses the good wishes of the working people in China to eliminate disasters and rejoice in prosperity.

Stick to the Year Red and keep safe.

In the folk, people like to use red elements during the Spring Festival for a reason. In ancient times, it was said that there was a monster "Nian", which would hurt people. During the Spring Festival, there will be vandalism and cannibalism. Later, the wise man found that Nian was afraid of being red and bursting. Then people think red is an auspicious color. Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, people have to make red couplets, window grilles, lanterns and set off firecrackers to scare the New Year. In the future, people will use this way to keep safe every year.
