What's the difference between New Year greetings and previous years?

The way to pay New Year greetings is different from previous years: the traffic has changed, the gifts have changed and the dinner has changed. There are three differences between this year's New Year greetings and previous years. First, the means of transportation have changed. I used to ride bicycles and tricycles by my relatives, but most of them have become cars this year.

Second, the gift has changed. In the past, relatives used to take small pointed snacks, but now they have become big gift boxes and eggs.

Third, the food has changed. It turns out that a family member is eating here. This year, he drove several times a day, sat for a while and left, so he didn't eat here.

Paying New Year's greetings is a traditional folk custom in China. They are a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new and express their best wishes to each other. In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to pay New Year greetings to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating them on a happy New Year and greeting their lives.

In case of friends and relatives of the same generation, you should also salute and congratulate. With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings is constantly adding new contents and forms. In addition to following the previous New Year greetings, etiquette telegrams, telephone calls, short messages and online New Year greetings also came into being.

Generally speaking, the time to pay New Year greetings is from the first day to the fifth day. Visiting relatives and friends after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is a memorial to the early years, and visiting relatives and friends before the fifteenth day after the fifth day of the first month is a memorial to the old age. Early old age belongs to the nature of emergency or remedy to avoid regret. There is a folk proverb: it is not too late to celebrate the New Year with a heart.
