It is commonly known as the New Year, New Year, New Year, New Year's Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, etc. It is also verbally called celebrating the New Year, celebrating the New Year, celebrating the New Year, and celebrating the New Year. The Spring Festival has a long history, evolving from the annual prayer and sacrifice ceremonies in ancient times. In ancient times, people would start their busy New Year preparations from the 23rd or 24th day of the lunar year when they would worship the Kitchen God, and the New Year would end on the 19th day of the first lunar month. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, but the New Year is usually not considered to be over until at least the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The exchange of greetings during festivals conveys the kinship and ethics between relatives, friends and fellow villagers.

The first incense is burned on New Year's Day (the first day of the first lunar month), and pilgrims usually start waiting long before midnight on New Year's Eve. In addition to burning the first incense stick, people in some places also have the custom of burning incense sticks at ten temples. On the morning of the first day of the new year, people would carry incense baskets and burn incense in ten surrounding temples. Its purpose is similar to burning the first incense.Another special practice in the folk custom of burning incense is burning incense. The so-called burning of incense means bowing one step or several steps toward a certain temple. For example, in Hengyang, Hunan, there is a custom of going up to Mount Nanyue to burn incense. Generally, people carry a small stool with an incense table on it, bow every few steps, and gradually go up the mountain. Burning incense is time-consuming, laborious, and naturally costly, so it is not often done. It is usually only done when encountering major problems, such as when parents are seriously ill. Spring Festival customs: pasting Spring Festival couplets The activity of pasting Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival became popular since the Song Dynasty, and every family has the custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year. Spring couplets, commonly known as "door couplets" and also known as "spring posts", are a type of couplets. They are called Spring Festival couplets because they are posted during the Spring Festival. One of the origins of Spring Festival couplets is peach charms. Initially, people carved human figures out of peach wood and hung them next to the door to ward off evil spirits. Later, they painted images of door gods on peach wood, and then simplified it to writing the name of the door god on a peach wood board. Another source of Spring Festival couplets is spring stickers. Ancient people often posted the word "Yichun" on the Spring Beginning Day. The real popularization of Spring Festival couplets began in the Ming Dynasty, which was related to the promotion of Zhu Yuanzhang. According to historical records, before the Spring Festival one year, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that a pair of Spring Festival couplets should be posted on every door to show celebration. Originally Spring Festival couplets were written on peach wood boards, but later they were written on paper. The color of peach wood is red, and red represents auspiciousness and the ability to ward off evil, so Spring Festival couplets are mostly written on red paper. Spring Festival couplets can be regarded as a unique artistic wonder of the Chinese nation. They are loved by people of all generations for their appeal to both the elite and the masses. Someone once summarized Spring Festival couplets like this: "Two lines of text support the sky and the earth; a pair of couplets comment on the past and encompass the present." Posting Spring Festival couplets is an important New Year custom. On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household will put up red Spring Festival couplets. The festive and warm couplets express people's good wishes for welcoming the new year, accepting blessings and looking forward to a new life. |
