What is Xiaonian?

Speaking of Xiaonian, I believe the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is our traditional festival, but in fact, Xiaonian is not just a festival. Xiaonian can actually be divided into three meanings.
The first meaning:
Xiaonian refers to the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, which has 29 days.
The second meaning:
Xiaonian refers to the festival, which falls on the 23rd or 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the old custom, on this day, the Kitchen God is worshipped.
The third meaning:
A bad year refers to a year when fruit trees bear few fruits and bamboo and trees grow slowly.
As a festival, due to differences in regional customs, the meaning and customs of Xiaonian are different across the country. For example, most areas in the north call the Kitchen God Festival on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month Xiaonian, and many areas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai call the fifth day of the first lunar month Xiaonian. There are also many areas in China that call the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month Xiaonian, and some places call the Winter Solstice Xiaonian, because the customs of each region are different.
