Why do we eat dumplings on New Year’s Day?

The tradition of eating dumplings on New Year's Day in China has a long history. Eating dumplings on New Year's Day is also a continuation of ancient traditional customs, the same reason why we eat dumplings during the Spring Festival now.
In ancient times, dumplings were eaten after New Year's Day sacrifices. The ancients believed in making dumplings when staying up to see the New Year in and eating them when saying goodbye to the New Year. That is to say, the hour of Zi marks the turn of two years, the time to welcome the new and bid farewell to the old, and it has special significance. "Zi" means "midnight", which is homophonic with "jiao", the Chinese character for dumplings, meaning joyful reunion and good luck, and heralds good luck in the new year.

What's the point of entering the store on the opening day?

There is a big mirror at the door
When many new stores open, they will install large mirrors to highlight the open and grand effect of the interior, but such mirrors should never be facing the door. As we all know, the door of a store is the entrance for spending money. If you look in the mirror, it means that the money inside is coming out again, so the business will naturally be bad.
Avoid evil spirits
The opening ceremony cannot be held casually at the door of the store, because the opening ceremony must avoid the five yellow evil spirits and the two black evil spirits. In other words, if your store door faces north or west, you have to be careful and make some adjustments to the layout of the store entrance. It is best to use a mascot to resolve it.
Opening door layout
The store layout and the opening day also require attention. The store layout is like a person standing at the store door and looking out. The one on the left is the Green Dragon, so it is appropriate to arrange higher things in it; the one on the right is the White Tiger, so things should be arranged shorter.
There are some tips for taking photos at the opening ceremony
If you need to hire a photographer to take photos or video, remember to ask the photographer to take the first photo on the left side of the store first, and then you can take any photos you want. Secondly, when taking a group photo, you must not take a photo with three people, otherwise it will affect each other's feelings and business.
