What New Year activities are there during the Great Cold in 2020?

The so-called "welcoming the New Year with the Great Cold" means that during the period from the Great Cold to the Lunar New Year, there will be a series of activities among the people. In summary, there are at least ten major customs, namely: "eating glutinous rice", "drinking porridge", "drinking", "making teeth", "sweeping the house", "pasting windows", "steaming offerings", "getting married", "going to the market", "bathing", etc.
"Eating glutinous rice"
means that on the day of the Great Cold, it was popular among ancient people to eat food made from glutinous rice.
"Drinking porridge" is commonly known as "drinking Laba porridge". The custom of drinking porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month has a long history. This porridge is made by boiling rice, beans, dates, lotus, peanuts, wolfberries, chestnuts, nuts, longans, raisins, walnut kernels, etc.
"Drinking to one's heart's content" refers to feasting and drinking to one's heart's content. Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in "Duduan": "La is the grand sacrifice at the end of the year, during which officials are allowed to feast and drink."
"Zuoya" , also known as "Zuoyaji", was originally a ceremony to worship the God of Land. The popular saying of having a delicious meal as "Dayaji" comes from this. There are two kinds of teeth celebration: the first tooth and the last tooth. The first tooth is on the second day of the second lunar month, and the last tooth is on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. The whole family sits together to celebrate the last tooth.
But for employees, the year-end party is not a good meal, because the employer will often decide whether the employees will stay or leave in the coming year at the dinner table. Hence, there is a saying that "eating at the first dinner will make your mouth sticky, while eating at the year-end dinner will make you worried." The year-end dinner is very sumptuous, and a chicken is a must-have dish. In the past, it was not convenient to say the dismissal directly, so people would use a chicken head to indicate the dismissal, and whoever the chicken head pointed at would be fired.
Because of this "unspoken rule", in order to allow employees who have worked hard for a year to enjoy the year-end dinner well, some kind-hearted employers will turn the chicken head towards themselves or directly remove the chicken head. The popular "annual meeting" in modern enterprises is a remnant of the year-end dinner custom.
"Dust removal" , also known as "removing the old" and "beating the dust", means general cleaning: "Every family paints the walls to sweep away the bad luck" and to get rid of bad luck; on the contrary, "if you don't remove dust in the twelfth lunar month, you will attract the plague god in the coming year." Dust removal is usually carried out on the 23rd and 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day of "worshiping the kitchen god". When dusting, you should avoid talking and pay attention to "making money in silence."
"Pasting windows" means pasting windows with new paper. "Pasting windows brings good luck." For the sake of beauty, some families will cut some auspicious patterns and paste them on the windows, so it is also called "pasting window flowers", which is usually done on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
"Steaming offering" means preparing offerings for sacrifice. In the past, the cakes, steamed buns and steamed buns used for offerings were all steamed with flour, hence the name.
"Rushing to get married" . Superstition says that at the end of December, the gods go to heaven to "report on their work for the year". At this time, there are no taboos in the world. There is no need to pick a date for marriage at this time, and it is also the slack season for farming. Therefore, the folk scene in the old days was "busy weddings in the countryside at the end of the year".
"Going to the market" refers to the traditional New Year market where people go to buy supplies for the La Festival and prepare New Year goods.
"Bath" has the same purpose as "dust removal", which is to maintain good personal hygiene, implying washing away a year's worries and bad luck. So no matter how busy you are at the end of the year, you have to get a haircut and take a bath. As the old saying goes, "Whether you have money or not, you can take a bath during the New Year."
