The calendar year of most countries in the modern world is 1. 1. Modern people call "New Year's Day" the Gregorian New Year and "Spring Festival" the Lunar New Year. On that day, people will celebrate the arrival of the New Year in various ways. However, China has a vast territory and abundant natural resources, and each ethnic group has different greetings. Here are the customs of several ethnic groups.

Raw fish with hot and sour flavor, crispy fried fish hair and salmon roe. Folk poets offer poems and tell stories to people. Women play "touch the paste" and "throw bones". Teenagers compete in skiing, skating, shooting grass targets and inserting grass balls.

Mongolian people eat jiaozi and set off firecrackers, just like Han people. Besides, we should eat "hand-grabbed meat" on New Year's Eve to show family reunion. In the early morning of the first day, the younger generation presented "farewell wine" to their elders. Then the young men and women got on their horses, rode on yurts, kowtowed to their elders first, then drank and danced, and then the men and women took advantage of this opportunity to hold horse races.

Tibetans-On New Year's Eve, a grand "God Jumping Meeting" was held, and people wore masks to sing and dance to show that they would bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, so as to eliminate disasters and reduce happiness.

Yi people-during the Spring Festival, people will get together and dance "Xi jumps over the moon". In some villages, men take water to cook on the first day of the lunar new year, so as to give women a rest and express their condolences for their hard work for a year.

Miao people-call the Spring Festival "Hakka Year", and everyone slaughters pigs and sheep and bakes wine to celebrate the harvest, hoping that the weather will be good and the crops will be bumper in the coming year.
