Can I get married during the New Year or Spring Festival?

Can't. In ancient times, there were very few couples getting married in the first month of the lunar calendar. In ancient times, there was a saying that "raising one's head would bring red", which meant that if a couple got married in the first month of the lunar calendar, the Tai Sui of the month would suppress their heads, which would be unfavorable for their children and grandchildren. Therefore, there were very few couples getting married in the first month of the lunar calendar. As the saying goes, you can’t get married in the first month of the lunar calendar and you can’t get engaged in the twelfth month, otherwise the couple cannot grow old together. So, just have fun during the New Year and don’t think about getting married.

What are the characteristics of each ethnic group during the New Year and Spring Festival?

1. Zhuang Nationality: The Spring Festival of the Zhuang nationality lasts for three days, from New Year’s Eve to the first and second days of the first lunar month. On New Year’s Eve, every family kills chickens and ducks and steams braised pork with pork belly, minced pork, barbecued pork, etc. A lot of rice should be steamed on New Year’s Eve to symbolize wealth. There must be poached chicken on the dinner table. In families with elderly people, stewed pig's trotters and whole chickens are also needed. Zongzi is an indispensable food during the Zhuang ethnic group’s Spring Festival, but it is not eaten on the night of the 30th. The Zhuang ethnic group’s rice dumplings are a relatively noble food, with the big ones weighing one or two pounds, and the small ones weighing only two or three ounces. In addition, there is a kind of "Fengmo", which means extra-large rice dumplings, weighing up to ten or twenty kilograms. If guests come on the first and second days of the first lunar month, we have to eat rice dumplings. During the Spring Festival, there will be cultural and sports activities such as singing, playing tops, dancing, and ball games. 2. Mongolians: Mongolians have always worshipped the color white, so they call the first month of the lunar calendar the "White Moon" and the New Year's Day the "White Festival." The Mongolian people’s preparations for the New Year begin on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In addition to cleaning, bathing, and decorating the yurt, people are required to wear new clothes, and horses are required to wear red tassels and new saddles. The whole cow or sheep with Hada on it should be presented to close relatives and friends. On New Year's Eve, people eat "hand-held meat" to symbolize family reunion. In the early morning of the first day of the New Year, people first say goodbye to the old people with wine, then toast to their peers, and friends and relatives give each other Hada to wish each other a prosperous New Year. On the first day of the New Year, you must pay New Year's greetings to your elders in the morning. 3. Tibetans According to Tibetan scholars, in ancient times, Tibetans did not celebrate the New Year at the turn of winter and spring, but in summer. Nowadays, people in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River have the tradition of celebrating the "Wangguo" festival before the autumn harvest. According to legend, these are all relics of the ancient Tibetan New Year celebrations in June. There is also the New Year celebration in the tenth month of the Tibetan calendar, which originated from those ancient times. Around the 13th century, when the Sakya Dynasty ruled Tibet, Tibetans began to celebrate the New Year in the first month of the Tibetan calendar. But farmers often celebrate the New Year in advance on the first day of December, which is called "Solang Losa" (Farmer's New Year). 4. Bai people start greeting each other and giving gifts from New Year’s Eve. After midnight, young men and women compete to fetch water to show their diligence. In the early morning, the whole family drinks sugar water with rice flowers, wishing that life will be sweeter than honey. After breakfast, the children are led by adults to visit relatives and friends’ homes to wish their elders a happy new year. Playing with dragon lanterns, dancing lions and beating the Overlord Whip are indispensable activities during the festival. 5. Manchus: Manchus paste window flowers, couplets and the word "God" during the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, the whole family makes dumplings. The dumplings are particular about having pleats. You cannot make "monk's head" dumplings with smooth edges, for fear that you will become "bald" due to long life. The dumplings should be arranged in rows horizontally and vertically, symbolizing that wealth will flow in all directions in the new year. The dumplings cannot be placed in a circle, as this would lead to a miserable life. 6. She Nationality: The She nationality pound glutinous rice cake during the Spring Festival. It is a homonym for "glutinous rice cake", which means to wish for good luck in the new year and sticky and sweet days every year. The She ethnic group worships their ancestor "Panhu". On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family bows down to the "Pangu Zutu" (a portrait painted based on the Panhu legend) and tells about the hardships their ancestors went through in starting their own business.
