Do not leave large amounts of cash and valuables such as gold and silver jewelry at home. It is best not to carry large amounts of cash when going shopping or sightseeing. Prepare some change and try not to expose your wallet and valuables. When crossing the road, you must use the crosswalk and must abide by the traffic rules of "stop at red lights and go at green lights." When walking on the road, you must use the sidewalk.2. In public places such as bus stations, tourist attractions, shopping malls and supermarkets, especially when getting on and off the bus, checking tickets, and paying for shopping, carry valuables such as wallets and mobile phones close to your body, carry shoulder bags across your body in front of you, do not place handbags randomly, and keep a distance from people around you; 3. When riding on the highway or in a taxi, be sure to wear a seat belt, especially for those in the front seat. Drivers must strictly abide by traffic rules and are prohibited from driving after drinking to ensure traffic safety. 4. When traveling by car, do not place valuables in the car or the trunk, and park the car in a parking lot with special supervision; 5. Prevent telephone fraud (if someone notifies you over the phone that your credit card has been stolen, be sure to call the bank service hotline and don't trust the number they provide; if someone calls you and claims that a relative is critically ill and you need to send money quickly, don't panic and be sure to verify over the phone; if someone leaves a message claiming that you have a huge outstanding phone bill, be sure to verify with the communications department. If someone calls you to guess who I am, just say a random name to test the authenticity of the scam). 6. Don’t tell the truth to strangers; don’t take illegal taxis; don’t share money if you see others picking up money; don’t easily transfer money if you receive calls or messages from people claiming to be friends or classmates. What do you eat on Chinese New Year’s Day?Dumplings <br /> After eating, people go out to pay New Year’s greetings, from those near to those far away, from the Lantern Festival until after the lanterns are lit. "According to this, Tanglao balls are similar to dumplings, and can be boiled or steamed. The word "jiaozi" appeared in food in the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, dumplings were called "bianshi", which may come from Mongolian. As mentioned in "Zhengzitong", dumplings in the Ming Dynasty were called jiaoru, powder jiao, water dumplings, and steamed dumplings. In addition, there are also names such as water dim sum. In the Qing Dynasty, the Beijing bannermen also called dumplings "boiled buns." Eating dumplings on New Year's Day flourished in the north during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, "Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes" by Chen Bang during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty said that Wanping County in the suburbs of Beijing "made flatbreads to celebrate the New Year's Day and presented them to the elders as longevity." "Quwo County Chronicles" in Shanxi during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty recorded: "Two days of making flatbreads wrapped in gold, inviting sons-in-law to compete for blessings. "The term "Bianshi" was handed down among the people in the Yuan Dynasty.Rice Cake <br /> Rice Cake is also called sticky cake, which means getting taller every year. In the south it is made from glutinous rice, in the north it is made from sticky millet. Rice cakes have a long history. In the Han Dynasty, rice cakes were already known as "rice cakes", "cakes", "bait" and "ci". The recipe for making rice cake "white cocoon sugar" was recorded in the 6th century cookbook "Shi Ci", and the method of grinding rice into powder and making cakes was recorded in the Northern Dynasty's "Qi Min Yao Shu". Eating rice cakes on New Year's Day was popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the south. Volume 2 of "A Brief Account of Scenery in the Imperial Capital" from the late Ming Dynasty records that on the first day of the first lunar month, "people wake up early, wash their hands, eat date cakes, and rice cakes." The "Weixian Chronicles" during the Jiajing period in northern Hebei Province said that the local people ate "steamed mutton cake". |
