Zuoya: Also known as Zuoya Sacrifice, it was originally a ceremony to worship the God of Land. The common saying "having a good meal as Daya Sacrifice" comes from this. There are two kinds of Zuoya: the "first tooth" and the "last tooth".

The whole family sits together to eat the "last tooth".
Dust removal: also known as removing the old and beating the dust, it means general cleaning. Every family paints the walls to sweep away bad luck and bad luck.

"Dust removal is usually carried out on the 23rd and 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day of the Kitchen God worship. When cleaning dust, one should avoid talking and believe in making fortune in silence."
Pasting windows: It means pasting windows with new paper to bring 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 window flowers, which is usually done on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Steamed offering: It 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.

Going to the market: the traditional New Year market, where people buy supplies for the La Festival and prepare New Year goods.
Bathing: It 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 should take a bath during the New Year.
