The main contents of the New Year celebrations are to get rid of the old and welcome the new, worship gods and ancestors, exorcise evil spirits and ward off disasters, and pray for good fortune and a good year. They are rich and colorful in form, lively and festive, with a strong flavor of the New Year, and embody the traditional cultural essence of Chinese civilization. According to the old custom, the period from the Kitchen God Worship Day (Dust Sweeping Day) on the 23rd/24th of December to the night of the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month or the 19th of the first lunar month, which is nearly a month long, is called the "New Year" , which is now called the "Spring Festival period".

People believe that during the Chinese New Year period (from the Little New Year to the Lantern Festival), one should say auspicious words, or nice words. If you say something unlucky, bad things will happen to you and you will not have good fortune in the coming year. When is the Little New Year?Little New Year usually refers to the day of house sweeping and offering sacrifices to the kitchen god, and is regarded as the beginning of the "busy year". Due to different customs in the north and south, the day called "Little New Year" is also different.1. Most of northern China: 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month In ancient times, the northern region also celebrated the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. From the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the imperial family held a ceremony to worship the sky on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to "save money", they also worshipped the Kitchen God. Therefore, the people in the northern region followed suit and celebrated the Little New Year one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. 2. Most of the southern regions: 24th day of the twelfth lunar month As early as the Song Dynasty, there were records of "celebrating the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month". In most parts of the south, the ancient tradition of celebrating the Little New Year on this day is still maintained. 3. Parts of Sichuan and Guizhou: New Year's Eve In some areas in southwest my country, people celebrate the Little New Year on New Year's Eve, and their Big New Year is mostly on the 14th or 15th day of the first lunar month. 4. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions: the day before New Year's Eve In the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, New Year's Eve is usually called "Big New Year's Eve". Correspondingly, the night before New Year's Eve is called "Little New Year's Eve", and this day is also called Little New Year. Historically, the 24th night of the twelfth lunar month, which the people of Wu called the 24th Night, is the day to send off the Kitchen God, and therefore called this night the Little New Year's Eve. 5. Nanjing and other places: 15th day of the first lunar month Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
