New Year's Day celebrates the beginning of the new year. Celebrating New Year's Day can be said to be a custom of New Year's Day in various countries and regions around the world. In my country, New Year's Day is also included as a legal holiday. So what are the customs of New Year's Day? How do you celebrate New Year's Day?What are the customs of New Year’s Day?Ancient New Year's Day customsFood is the most important thing for people. In ancient China, after harvesting the crops and working for a year, people would prepare rich food to welcome the spring, which is called "the year when all the grains are ripe", commonly known as "New Year". There are records of setting off firecrackers, attending annual meetings, and having reunion dinners as early as the Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Lu Yuanming's "Miscellaneous Notes on the Seasons" mentioned: "On New Year's Day, people in the capital mostly eat noodles, the so-called Nian 馎饦, or something similar." This shows that the people of Bianliang at that time would prepare food such as noodles to celebrate the New Year. The customs of New Year's Day gradually took shape. New Year's Day customs after the founding of New China After the founding of New China, the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference decided that my country would adopt the Gregorian calendar, and New Year's Day is the Gregorian New Year. New Year’s Day has three days off (this year’s holiday was reformed to only one day), and New Year’s Day has become an important festival in our country. The joy of New Year's Day continues until the Lunar New Year. Reunion, ancestor worship, eating dumplings and appreciating lanterns have become the habits of every Chinese citizen and every family to celebrate the New Year. How do you celebrate New Year's Day?New Year's Day celebration method 1It is known throughout China and even the whole world that many countries regard New Year's Day as a legal holiday and have holidays on it. After the founding of New China, New Year's Day was also designated as a legal holiday with one day off. New Year's Day celebration method 2 What is more common now are activities organized by groups, such as New Year's Day parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding collective activities. In the past, there were organizations that beat drums and gongs and performed folk dances together, which can still be seen on TV documentaries. With the development of science and technology today, it has evolved into a gala. In recent years, there have been programs such as traveling and gatherings. Anyway, there are not many traditions on New Year's Day, so people can do whatever they want on this holiday. New Year's Day celebration method 3 The traditional Chinese way of celebration is still preserved among the people, especially in the rural areas. Every New Year's Day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and after paying homage to various gods, the family will have a reunion meal. As for more intense forms of celebration, I have not seen them yet. |
