What is the last day of the twelfth lunar month?

The last day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year’s Eve, and the night is New Year’s Eve.
The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is the last day of the twelfth lunar month, which is connected to the Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month). On this day, people prepare many delicious foods and hold various meaningful activities from morning to night. The night of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is called "New Year's Eve", also known as "New Year's Eve". The climax of the Spring Festival is "New Year's Eve". The first folk custom of New Year’s Eve is “family reunion”, which is also one of the most important life ideals of the Chinese people.

New Year's Eve customs:

Paste door gods:
Door gods are mythological figures that have been passed down in my country since ancient times. It is said that as long as you post the images of the door gods Shentu and Yulei, they can protect the family from harm and bring good luck. Door god statues are usually divided into two pieces and pasted on both sides of the door. There are many door god statues, but the most common ones are the brothers Shentu and Yulei. Because they are in charge of ghosts, big ghosts and small ghosts dare not enter the house to cause harm, so your home can be safe and prosperous.
Setting off firecrackers:
Setting off firecrackers is a way of expressing joy in our country. When the New Year is approaching, every household will set off firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the New Year with the sound. Although setting off firecrackers is now strictly prohibited in many cities, people still have many ways to make the sound of firecrackers, because only by listening to the sound of firecrackers can you feel the lively atmosphere of the New Year.
Eating New Year's Eve dinner:
When the table is filled with rich food and the whole family sits together to eat and drink, the lively atmosphere of the New Year will reach its peak. Eating the New Year’s Eve dinner together can also make you feel the warmth and happiness of the family. Eating the New Year’s Eve dinner every year has become a symbol of family reunion.
Staying up all night:
Staying up all night means people stay awake and wait for the moment when New Year's Eve reaches midnight of the Spring Festival, and then officially set off firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival. In some places, people build "wang huo" when the New Year bell rings to represent the prosperity.
