What are the customs in the north during the Chinese New Year?

There are more customs in the north than in the south, such as making dumplings, and to paste window flowers, a variety of patterns, meaning auspicious in the coming year, including some natal year clothing and exquisiteness, there are countless more.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the food customs of Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day have been clearly different between the south and the north. On Chinese New Year's Eve in the north, there are many dumplings to eat, which means "more age and children" in a homonym. Some put sugar in dumplings to pray for a sweeter life in the coming year; Some wrap a coin in individual dumplings, and whoever eats it will make a fortune in the new year.

Southern Chinese New Year's Eve is generally eaten with Lantern Festival and rice cakes. The Lantern Festival is also called "Tangyuan", "Tuanzi", "Yuanzi", and the middle wrap is more sugar, which means that the whole family is reunited and sweet. The rice cake is made of glutinous rice, which means "high every year" with a homonym.

To this day, the custom of making dumplings for the New Year in the north and making dumplings for the New Year in the south is still extremely common.

Eating rice cakes, dumplings and rice balls during the New Year is one of the customs of the Chinese. Because of its homonym "Nian Gao", which means rising every year, and has a variety of flavors, it is especially popular with citizens in the Hangjiahu area, and the market space is very large. Tangyuan means reunion and is a traditional food for the Spring Festival.

The Chinese New Year dumplings are influenced by the northern New Year customs, but the complex procedures such as noodles, chopping filling, and rolling skin are prohibitive, so quick-frozen dumplings have become a big selling point in supermarkets.

The north is very big, and one place has one custom. It is generally 30 stickers of the Spring Festival, and the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve must be observed, and the floor cannot be swept, clothes can not be washed, and lights cannot be turned off. That's all I know.
