New Year's Eve refers to the last night of the lunar calendar each year, which is the eve of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Because it often falls on the 29th or 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, it is also called New Year's Eve. It is one of the most important traditional festivals of the Han nationality. The Han people attach the most importance to it. Every household is busy cleaning the house to welcome their ancestors home to celebrate the New Year, and offer them rice cakes and three kinds of animals as sacrifices. The last day of the year is called "Sui Chu" and the night of that day is called "New Year's Eve". On New Year’s Eve, people often stay up all night, which is called Shousui. On New Year's Eve, not only should the house be cleaned inside and out, but door gods, spring couplets, new year pictures and lanterns should be put up. New Year's Eve is a very important day for Chinese people. On this day, people prepare to get rid of the old and welcome the new and have a reunion dinner. Family is the cornerstone of Chinese society. The annual family reunion dinner fully demonstrates the mutual respect and love among family members of the Chinese nation. This mutual respect and love makes the relationship between family members closer. Family reunions often bring spiritual comfort and satisfaction to the head of the family. Seeing his children and grandchildren around, and enjoying the family life together, the elderly feel that the care and efforts they put into raising their children in the past have not been in vain. What a happy thing it is.
