Do ordinary people need to pay New Year greetings?

People of the same generation need to pay New Year greetings. New Year greetings are the oldest traditional custom among Chinese people. The exchange of feelings between relatives during the Spring Festival is a way for people to bid farewell to the old year, welcome the new year, and express their best wishes to each other. New Year greetings are a way for peers to congratulate each other. The recipients of New Year greetings are usually people whom they respect and value. Colleagues and friends often also send New Year greetings to each other to enhance the intimacy of their relationship.

For New Year greetings between peers and friends, you can not bring gifts, or you can bring gifts to the other person's children. In this case, dairy products, fruits and school supplies are generally the main products. When there are no children, smoking, alcohol, and tea are common. For all New Year greetings, please do not bring poultry, eggs, fish, meat and other raw meat products, which will give people the wrong impression of being "raw".

The order of visiting relatives during the New Year

1. Visit your parents on the first day of the Lunar New Year. On the first day of the New Year, the younger generations in every household pay New Year greetings to their elders, parents, grandparents, and New Year blessings.

2. Visit your mother-in-law on the second day of the Lunar New Year. On the second day of the New Year, a married woman will take her husband and children, and carry gifts, back to her parents' home to pay New Year greetings to their parents.

3. Aunts and aunts in the third and fourth grades of junior high school. The third and fourth days of the New Year are the time to pay New Year greetings to aunts, uncles and aunts. The order at this time is usually uncle, aunt and aunt. Those who are far away from each other usually go to visit each other separately.

4. Make friends after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The Lantern Festival, which follows the fifth day of the New Year and lasts until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is a time for interactions between friends, visits between non-important immediate relatives, and New Year greetings from neighbors.
