The specific practices vary from place to place, but generally speaking: scattering ashes in front of the door is called "blocking the door to ward off disasters"; scattering ashes in the corners is intended to "ward off insects"; scattering ashes in the yard to make circles of varying sizes, and symbolically placing some grains, called "enclosing the granary" or "making ash storage", to pray for a good harvest; scattering ashes beside the well is called "attracting the dragon back", in order to pray for good weather.

The gray line is winding and continuous, which is quite interesting. 3.

Adults get a haircut to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, hoping to bring good luck and a smooth new year. 4.
