Exchanging greeting cards: As early as the Song Dynasty, the families and relatives of royal relatives, nobles and literati had already used special New Year greeting cards, called "mingci" or "mingtie". A red paper bag called the "door book" is pasted on the door of each house. The name of the owner is written on it and it is used to receive business cards. The visitor would throw his business card into the door book to express his New Year greetings, which has the same meaning as the modern New Year's card. Spring Festival couplets: Spring Festival couplets are also called door couplets, spring stickers, couplets, couplets, peach charms, etc. They use neat, parallel, concise and exquisite words to depict the background of the times and express good wishes. They are a unique literary form in China. Window flowers: People in the folk also like to paste various paper-cuts on the windows - window flowers. Paper-cutting is a very popular folk art in China and has been loved by people for thousands of years. Because it is mostly pasted on windows, it is also called "window paper-cutting". Firecrackers: There is a saying among the Chinese people that "firecrackers are set off when the door is opened". When the new year comes, the first thing every household does when they open the door is to set off firecrackers, using the sound of firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new. It has a history of more than two thousand years. |
