For example, the north was the political center before the Southern Song Dynasty and was heavily influenced by officialdom, so the Little New Year was mostly on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month; on the contrary, the south was far away from the political center, so the Little New Year was on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month; and residents along the lakes such as Poyang Lake retained the tradition of boatmen, with the Little New Year set on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, "no matter which day the Little New Year is celebrated, people's desire to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new is the same.")

The Kun hexagram of the Book of Changes, which states "the earth is in a Kun position and the gentleman is virtuous and able to carry the world", is the embodiment of the Little New Year. After the New Year's Eve every year, Da Nian will return to its residence, the Big Dipper Palace, to meditate and accumulate auspicious energy until the New Year's Eve (the 29th or 30th of the twelfth lunar month). Every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it would send Xiaonian to the human world first to see who needed replenishment of auspicious energy and report the situation to it. People love to eat stove candy during the Little New Year, so in order for the Little New Year and the Kitchen God to "speak good things to the gods", the Chinese have formed the custom of eating stove candy during the Little New Year.Fried Corn: In the southeastern part of Shanxi Province, it is a popular custom to eat fried corn.
