On the 25th, tofu is ground. Tofu sounds like "dou fu" (meaning "rich"), which means to pray for a prosperous life in the coming year. The whole family gathers together to eat tofu, this is the feeling of the New Year, simple but warm and beautiful. According to research, tofu was invented by Liu Anming, King of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty. Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in his poem "Tofu": "When planting beans, the seedlings are sparse, my strength is exhausted and my heart is rotten. If I had known the Huainan technique earlier, I would have sat back and enjoyed the spring cloth." Interestingly, in some places there is a custom of eating tofu dregs before New Year's Eve.2. Receiving the Jade Emperor <br /> In the old customs of China, the common people believed that after the Kitchen God went to heaven to report on the situation on earth on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Jade Emperor would come down to earth in person on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to see what the common people were doing and decide on their fortunes for the coming year. If people do well, the new year will be better. Therefore, every household of the common people hung a scroll depicting the arrival of the Jade Emperor as a sacrifice, hoping for good fortune in the coming year, which was called "welcoming the Jade Emperor." Everyone should be very careful when speaking on this day, and try to speak well so that the Jade Emperor will be happy and have good luck in the coming year. 3.

It is called "Minggan Zhuola" in Mongolian, which means the Festival of a Thousand Lanterns. It is a religious festival evolved from the Buddhist lantern lighting ceremony. On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, people make "Minggan Zhuola" and light them in the temple. It is believed that the more they are lit, the more auspicious it is. This festival custom is most popular among the Vilat Mongolians in Xinjiang. On this day, local people eat roasted beef and mutton and hold traditional sports and entertainment activities. 4. Lighting the Fields and Silkworms <br /> In the Jiangnan area of China, the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month is called "Lighting the Fields and Silkworms, Burning the Fields and Silkworms, Burning the Fields and Wealth".
