What changes have taken place in the custom of the Spring Festival?

1. Clean up the house from the inside out one or two days before New Year's Eve, and put up new Spring Festival couplets. Now slowly, many people don't stick Spring Festival couplets, because they all stick tiles.

2. When I was a child, I made my own tofu at home, washed cakes with a mill and posted Spring Festival couplets. Every household was in full swing to prepare for the New Year. The flavor of the year is very strong. With the improvement of the quality of life, these have disappeared, and they are all bought with money.

3. The New Year's Eve dinner will not be eaten until around 10, pine leaves will be picked on the mountain, and some things will be cooked until the Lantern Festival. Every meal will be "leftover", and there are necessary dishes such as pig's head meat, which can only be eaten after the elders at home kowtow. Not anymore. I feel like eating, but there are more people eating.

4. Get up on New Year's Eve to "kill the chicken and close the door". After closing the door, you can't just open it. It won't open until the end of the year, and the house can't sweep the garbage on the ground. So after the New Year, most of your home has become a "garbage dump". You have to pick a day to open the door, pick a day to sweep the floor, pick a place to take out the garbage. Not anymore. Sweep the house when it is dirty, and don't care too much about customs.

You can only wear new clothes during the Spring Festival every year, probably because you were poor at that time, so now you can buy clothes whenever you want. Anyway, you can eat anything you can't usually eat during the New Year. The old man joked seriously, because you were poor then, but the smell was very strong then, and now it's gone.
