New Year's greetings are a traditional Chinese folk custom, which is a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year and express good wishes to each other.
What we usually know is that on the first day of the first month, the head of the family leads the juniors to go out to meet relatives, friends, and elders, and congratulate each other on the New Year with auspicious words. The host family warmly entertained them with dim sum, candy, and red envelopes (New Year's money).
In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "New Year's greetings" was to congratulate the elderly on the New Year, including prostrating to the elderly, congratulating them on a good New Year, and greeting them with a good life. When you meet relatives and friends of the same generation, you should also give gifts and congratulations.
New Year's greetings generally start at home. On the morning of the first day of the new year, after the younger generation gets up, they should first greet the elders and wish them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders are worshipped, the "New Year's money" prepared in advance should be distributed to the younger generations.
After greeting the elders in the family, people should also congratulate the New Year with a smile on their faces when they go out, and exchange auspicious words such as "Wishing you prosperity", "Four seasons are happy", "Happy New Year", and neighbors or relatives and friends also visit each other to greet the New Year or invite each other to drink and have fun.

New Year's greetings are a traditional folk custom in China. It is a form of people visiting each other to congratulate the Spring Festival and express farewell to the old and welcome the new.
The custom of New Year's greetings originated very early, and although the details of it are uncertain, it must have existed before the Song Dynasty. Because the upper ruling class and scholars of the Song Dynasty felt that it would take time to visit each other's homes to pay New Year's greetings, they switched to name posts to congratulate each other. Zhou Hui of the Song Dynasty recorded in "Qingbo Weizhi":
During the New Song and Yuanyou years, New Year's greetings, servants were often used to hold their names and thorns. In the Ming Dynasty, the trend of sending New Year's greetings to New Year's greetings became more prevalent. Wen Zhengming has the poem "New Year's Greetings"; "I don't ask for a meeting and an encyclical, and the name paper is full of openness.
I also threw a few papers with others, and the world is not too simple. "In modern times, there are many ways to pay New Year's greetings. There are not only New Year's greetings with New Year's cards, but also mutual congratulations, and there are also people who get together to congratulate each other, that is, "group worship".

Historical legacy, I assume that a long time ago, the central city of a certain civilization period in China was peaceful, and suddenly one day, that is, on the day when winter was about to end, some very ferocious animals broke into the central city, and then caused great damage to the city and the people. Towards the end of the following winters, these ferocious beasts reappeared. Everyone was very worried, worried that after this day, their relatives would be devoured or hurt by those fierce beasts.
Hopefully someone will drive them away.
Eventually, towards the end of one of the following winters, the beasts reappeared, and people passed through certain **, the sound of which was like firecrackers now, and its color might be red. Everyone finally drove those beasts away this time! After this operation, they looked for each other's loved ones to see if any of them had left in this battle, and if not, they hugged each other with self-evident joy.
Subsequently, at this time of year, those beasts still come, and they also use their advanced ** to fight these beasts, and they win every time, but there are still people who die, so they will still look for their relatives after the battle. Let them know for themselves that the people they care about are still alive. Year after year, the battle continued, but the monsters were already scared of the things that hurt them, red and loud.
For a while the beasts did not come to infringe, and the people were very happy and visited each other. But then at some point they reappeared, so that they made the ** "intimidating" items that had defeated those beasts. These items did scare the beasts away towards the end of each subsequent winter.
In this way, the same activities are carried out year after year to ensure everyone's safety, and combined with the understanding of time, they have set this day as a "major festival", first "Chinese New Year's Eve" and then "New Year", and the main activities of the New Year have evolved from this long-lasting post-war activity, "New Year's greetings" to ensure that their loved ones are still alive and not harmed by those monsters.

The stay time of the guest is generally half an hour to 40 minutes, so that it is not rude, but also does not affect the host to receive other guests.
Gifts should also be decent. When greeting elders, teachers, and masters, you should bring some gifts. Gifts should not be too expensive and luxurious, but they should also be "handy".
Holding a bouquet of regretful flowers and sending a beautiful greeting card has become a romantic and warm way for modern urban people to greet the New Year in recent years.
