It s the New Year, what are the customs in your hometown?

During the Spring Festival, the elders will give some gifts to the younger ones, wrapped in red paper bags, called "New Year's money", commonly known as "red envelopes". Children and grandchildren who have financial means will also give red envelopes to their elders. The amount of the red envelope varies, and some people pay attention to the amount of the red envelope, which must be an even number, such as the number "eight" containing the homonym "fat".

As is customary, banknotes should be new. Everything related to the New Year must be new to bring good luck and wealth.

The act of soliciting red envelopes is often referred to as "begging for red envelopes", which is also known as "tease to be true" in Cantonese-speaking areas. Red envelopes are usually given by married couples to young unmarried children in the family. Out of politeness and custom, the younger generations wish the elders happiness, health, and good luck in the coming year.

In some areas, people will store the red envelope under their pillow and not open it until seven days have passed. Sleeping for seven days with a red envelope on your pillow symbolizes good luck and wealth.

In addition to red envelopes, friends and family also exchange gifts (usually food or sweets). Common gifts for visiting family and friends include auspicious fruits (such as oranges), pastries, biscuits, chocolates and sweets. However, there are some things that are considered taboo that cannot be given, such as clocks (homonym "end"), green hats, shoes, pears, handkerchiefs (used at funerals), umbrellas (homonym "scatter"), and any sharp objects (such as scissors and knives that symbolize the breakdown of relationships).

During the Lunar New Year, people wear clothes that are new from head to toe and symbolize new beginnings. Clothing is mainly red or other bright colors, as red is believed to ward off evil spirits. In addition, it is necessary to paste Spring Festival couplets, paste the red diamond-shaped "Fu" word, and in some places also post New Year's pictures.

When pasting the word "Fu", it should be noted that the upside-down word "Fu" is homophonic to "Fu To", symbolizing the arrival of luck, happiness and prosperity. However, in the Cantonese cultural circle, the word "Fu" means "bad luck", symbolizing bad luck, so it cannot be hung upside down.

I have recently seen that there are two kinds of packaging on the kj network, the one that sells well is domestic, all kinds of food additives, and the domestic ones seem to be all kinds of additives regardless of whether they live or die, but the sales are just as good. In South Korea, there are nonghyup and yuzu lang, which have no additives or relatively few additives, and there are honey yuzu teas made by farmers on the Internet, so you can try it. It is definitely the best homemade honey yuzu tea, with rock sugar instead of white sugar, all kinds of good ingredients.
