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. ? ?

New Year greetings at different times:

1, New Year's Day: The younger generation pays New Year greetings to the elders. 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.

After greeting the elders at home, you should also greet people with a smile when you go out to meet them, and exchange auspicious words such as "Congratulations on getting rich", "Best wishes in the four seasons" and "Happy New Year". Neighbors, relatives and friends also visit each other or invite them to drink and entertain. ?

2. New Year's Day: The son-in-law must go to the parents-in-law to pay New Year's greetings. The son-in-law must go to his parents-in-law's house and bring gifts. If you are a newly married son-in-law, this gift is very particular.

The nephew goes to grandma's house, and the daughter goes to her mother's house with her husband. There is a folk saying in this custom that "the second day of the first month, the third day is the third day." After entering the door, bow down to the Buddha statue, ancestor statue and memorial tablet, and then bow down to the elders in turn. You can stay for dinner and play. ?

It was not until the third day of New Year's Eve that I began to visit other relatives. Since everyone usually starts to visit relatives from the third grade, we must pay attention to the time schedule when visiting relatives at this time.

The Choice of New Year Greeting Time

Make an appointment before New Year's greetings. Don't make an empty trip just because the host also goes out to pay a New Year call. At the same time, give the host a time to prepare in advance. It is best to let the host choose the appointment time, not unilaterally set the time. The appointed time is more convenient for both parties. Generally speaking, you should choose to pay New Year greetings to your elders in the morning, but not too early. Because you usually work hard, you usually get up late during the Spring Festival.

If you visit your home too early, you will often catch your host off guard. If the New Year greeting is hosted by a New Year greeting person, the time of the New Year greeting can be determined according to the time of the dinner. Arrive early, don't wait until dinner time. Time should be reserved for greeting and chatting. ?

Some people like to choose to pay New Year greetings in the evening. Sitting for several hours will inevitably affect the rest of the host. When visiting New Year, if you say "Happy New Year" at the door and leave in a hurry, it will give people a feeling of "lack of sincerity". Therefore, it is advisable for a guest to stay for half an hour to 40 minutes, which is polite and does not affect the host's reception of other guests.
