What is the difference between the Little New Year in the south and the north?

Most of the northern regions: The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month - "Little New Year in the North"
Since the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the imperial family has held a ceremony to worship the heaven on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to "save money", they also worship the Kitchen God. Therefore, the people in the northern regions followed suit and celebrated the Little New Year one day earlier on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
Most of the southern regions: The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month - "Traditional Chinese New Year"
As early as the Song Dynasty, there were records of "celebrating the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month". In most parts of the south, the ancient tradition of celebrating the Little New Year on this day is still maintained.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions: the day before New Year's Eve - "Little New Year's Eve"
In the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, New Year's Eve is usually called "Big New Year's Eve". Correspondingly, the night before New Year's Eve is called "Little New Year's Eve", and this day is also called Little New Year. Historically, the 24th night of the twelfth lunar month, which the people of Wu called the 24th Night, is the day to send off the Kitchen God, and therefore called this night the Little New Year's Eve.
Parts of Sichuan and Guizhou: New Year's Eve - "Little New Year"
In some areas in southwest my country, people celebrate the Little New Year on New Year's Eve, and their Big New Year is mostly on the 14th or 15th day of the first lunar month.
Nanjing and other places: The 15th day of the first lunar month (Lantern Festival) - "Little New Year"
According to legend, after Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di usurped the throne, the people of Nanjing complained about his cruelty and harsh rule. They used the lantern festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month to remember the previous emperor's lenient rule, so the Lantern Festival became Nanjing's Little New Year.
