1, North New Year's Day special event:

Children in Beijing want to eat candied haws in the New Year, which symbolizes the prosperity of the New Year. Folklore: Yangko, stilt walking and Errenzhuan in the northeast will be performed at the temple fair one after another. This place in Tianjin will cut window grilles, paste couplets and carry out various cultural and recreational activities during this festival. On New Year's Day, students in Shandong Province burn incense and worship the statue of Confucius, hoping to be the first in the coming year.

2. Southern New Year's Day special activities:

Compared with the vulgarity of New Year's Day customs in the north, the New Year's Day customs in the south are more elegant. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, bamboo poles are tied to grass and lit on the first day of New Year's Day, which is called "Qingtian silkworm". During the Spring Festival in Shaoxing, guests will be entertained with "tea bowls", and some even add olives and kumquat, which is called "holding gold ingots".

In Fujian, the pronunciation of "spring" is the same as that of "leftover". When eating in the New Year, you should insert flowers made of red paper on the rice, commonly known as "spring rice". Spring rice is a symbol of "more than one year". In Guangdong, on New Year's Day, the elders will reward the younger generation with red envelopes or oranges, which is also a symbol of good luck and balance in the coming year.

Traditional activities on New Year's Day

1. People all over China and the world know that New Year's Day is a legal holiday in many countries, and there will be a holiday on New Year's Day. After the founding of New China, it was also stipulated that New Year's Day would be a legal holiday, with one day off.

2. Nowadays, activities organized by groups are more common, such as New Year's Eve parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding group activities. In the past, people who organized gongs and drums and danced folk dances collectively can still be seen in TV documentaries.

With the development of science and technology, it has evolved into a gala or something. There have been many travel, party and other programs in recent years. Anyway, there is not much tradition on New Year's Day. You can have a holiday on this day and play as you like. Even New Year's Day only means a day's holiday for the younger generation.
