What are the customs and practices for New Year’s Day? What will you eat?
New Year's Day marks the end of a year and is the first day of the new calendar year. Every festival in our country has its own customs and etiquette. So what are the customs and etiquette of New Year's Day? What will you eat?What are the customs and practices for New Year’s Day?1. Statutory holidaysI believe everyone is very familiar with the New Year's Day holiday. New Year's Day is the first day of the New Year in China and even in the world. Therefore, on this day, our country generally takes three days off together with the weekend, so that office workers and students can go home and spend the last day of the year and the first day of the new year with their families, and reunite with their families! 2. Eat dumplings It seems that dumplings can be eaten no matter what festival it is. Eating dumplings is versatile. On New Year's Day, the whole family can also make dumplings together. Dumplings symbolize auspicious meanings such as good fortune, wealth and fortune, so eating dumplings on the first day of the new year symbolizes many good meanings, and dumplings are also very delicious food, loved by adults and children alike. 3. Fireworks In the new year, many people including many units will set off firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate. It is also a way of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the arrival of the new year. Some people will also hold countdown ceremonies and set off fireworks to celebrate at 12 o'clock in the evening on New Year's Day or the last day of December. We would like to remind everyone to be safe when setting off fireworks. What will you eat?New Year's Day symbol: eating dumplingsDumplings evolved from wontons. People in the northerners eat dumplings every New Year’s Day, but the custom of eating dumplings on New Year’s Day flourished in the north during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Wan Shu Miscellaneous Notes" said that on New Year's Day, Wanping County in the suburbs of Beijing "makes flatbreads and presents them to the elders as a wish for longevity." New Year's Day symbol: eating rice cakes Nian Gao, also known as sticky cake, means getting taller every year. Rice cake is a food with a long history, but eating rice cake on New Year's Day became popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the south, mainly in Suzhou, Jiading and other places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In the late Ming Dynasty’s "A Brief Account of Capital Scenery", it is recorded that on the first day of the first lunar month, people “wake up early, wash their hands, eat date cakes, and rice cakes.” New Year's Day symbol: drinking pepper and cypress wine Pepper and cypress wine appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Pepper and cypress wine is made by soaking pepper and cypress leaves. According to ancient records, drinking pepper and cypress wine can cure diseases and prolong life. The traditional custom of drinking pepper and cypress wine on New Year's Day is mainly in Licheng, Shandong and Jiaxing, Zhejiang. New Year's Day symbol: eating soup noodles In ancient times, soup cakes referred to food made from wheat noodles boiled in water, which is similar to the noodles we eat today. |
