What are the forms of New Year greetings?

1, Happy New Year is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to say goodbye 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 regarded as worshipping the early years, and visiting relatives and friends after the fifth day of the first month and before the fifteenth day is regarded as worshipping the old age. Early old age belongs to the nature of emergency or remedy to avoid regret. There is a folk proverb: Happy New Year.

On the morning of the first day, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation.

4. In the form of New Year's greetings, visit relatives and friends. You must go to your parents-in-law's house on the first or second day, and you must bring gifts. After entering the door, first bow down to the ancestors' statues and tablets, and then bow down to the elders in turn. You can stay to eat, play, discuss and so on.

5. Courtesy visits, such as New Year greetings to friends, bow as soon as you enter the door. If you are older than yourself, you should still take the initiative to bow your head. The host will step down from his seat to help him, even saying that he is not formal to show humility. This kind of situation is generally not suitable for sedentary, and you will leave after a few pleasantries. After the host worships, he should pay a return visit another day.

6. Thank you for your visit. Anyone who owes others in the past year (such as lawyers and doctors) should buy some gifts and take the opportunity to express their gratitude.

7. Go door to door. I didn't have much contact with my neighbors in the past, but I can get along well when I meet them. On New Year's Eve, I just met in the courtyard and said, "Congratulations on getting rich" and "Smooth and profitable". I just sat in the room for a while, without much etiquette.
