Let me pick 5 traditional customs:

1. Cut the window grille

Clipping window grilles is one of the many customs. It began to rise after the Song and Yuan dynasties, and it carries the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and receiving blessings and auspicious New Year's meanings. There are different styles in the north and south regions, the south is beautiful with a delicate sense of delicacy, and the north is blessed with innocence and simplicity.

In the days leading up to Chinese New Year's Eve, the doors and windows of every house are decorated with window flowers of various shapes, making the atmosphere of the New Year even stronger. During the Spring Festival, people put window flowers to achieve the purpose of decorating the environment and rendering the atmosphere, and pinned on the wish of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

2. Hang lanterns

The lantern is hung to drive away the legend of the "year" beast. According to legend, in ancient China, there was a monster called "Nian", which was very fierce and even harmed people's lives. Later, some people found that the "Nian" beast was afraid of red things, so every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone would hang red lanterns, paste red couplets, and set off firecrackers.

3. Set off firecrackers

There is a saying in Chinese folk that "open the door and firecrackers". That is, when the new year arrives, the first thing every household does when they open the door is to set off firecrackers to remove the old and welcome the new with the sound of beeping firecrackers. Firecrackers are a Chinese specialty, also known as "firecrackers", "firecrackers", and "firecrackers".

Its origins are very early, with a history of more than 2,000 years.

Fourth, New Year's greetings

In the New Year, relatives and friends are so happy, everyone meets to congratulate each other. Congratulations on good luck, abundant wealth and good health. Visiting relatives and friends is an ancient Han folk culture, an activity to exchange feelings between relatives during the Spring Festival.

Visiting relatives and returning to one's mother's home during the Spring Festival is a custom passed down from generation to generation by Chinese. It is a kind of family exchange between relatives to contact feelings and sympathize with each other. In some areas, visiting relatives and friends is referred to as "visiting relatives".

5. Dragon and lion dances

The dragon and lion dance is a traditional Chinese folk custom. The dragon dance is also known as the dragon lantern and the dragon lantern dance. The dragon is an ancient totem, and it is said that the dragon can travel clouds and rain, eliminate disasters and bring blessings, symbolizing auspiciousness, so praying for peace and a good harvest in the way of dragon dance has become a custom throughout the country.

Our country is rich in land and resources, and people will make different foods to welcome the New Year, such as pounding rice cakes in the south and steaming flower buns and ...... in the northThe difference is the customs, the food, and the same thing is that people enjoy the joy of welcoming the New Year together. The steaming heat wafting from thousands of households is also a wish for a prosperous and prosperous life in the coming year.

Eat dumplings, greet the New Year, receive red envelopes, and have a reunion.
