What should we pay attention to when greeting each other during the Spring Equinox?

New Year greeting posture <br /> The etiquette of holding fists when greeting is a form of greeting between peers. The standard posture for men is to make a fist with the right hand and cover it with the left hand, because the right hand is conceptually the attacking hand, and covering it is to show goodwill; women do the opposite, but do not hold fists, but only press their hands. Putting your left and right hands in reverse represents a mourning fist, which means announcing a death or begging for mercy. Be careful not to make the mistake when wishing a happy new year.
Timing of New Year's greetings <br /> Choosing the right time is the first factor in New Year's greetings
Don’t visit too early <br /> Due to the busy schedule during normal times, people usually get up late during the New Year holidays. If you visit someone's home too early to wish them a happy new year, you will often catch the host off guard.
It is advisable to stay for about half an hour <br /> Some people like to choose to pay New Year's greetings at night, and sitting for several hours will inevitably disturb the host's rest. The appropriate length of stay for a New Year's visit is generally between half an hour and forty minutes. This is neither impolite nor disrupts the host's daily life or the reception of other guests.

What is the order of New Year greetings?

When Chinese people greet each other during the Spring Festival, they mostly follow the principle of greeting from inside to outside, from near to far.
On the first day of the New Year, people worship their ancestors, family elders, and clan relatives at home. On the second day, people go out to visit in-laws and neighbors. Specifically, the first thing to do is to pay respect to the elders, bow and bless them; the second is to pay respect to the teachers; then to wish the neighbors a happy new year; and don’t forget to pay respect to colleagues and friends.
