On the 28th day of the lunar month, it is necessary to take a bath at home, which can remove the bad luck of the year and prepare for the new year of the coming year. ‍‍

Firecrackers, also known as firecrackers, are said to be "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.

According to the old custom, from the end of the year on the twenty-third and twenty-fourth day of the twelfth month of the festival to the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lantern Festival or the nineteenth day of the first month, the period of nearly one month is called "New Year".

New Year is the most important day of the year, but now with the development of economic science, people don't seem to have much interest in the New Year, right? But in my opinion, the year is a new beginning, a new baptism.

Every time during the Chinese New Year, every household will buy a lot of things to prepare for the beginning of the new year, because every new year means that everyone is one year older, and it also symbolizes that we should be sensible and not naughty. We were all very happy to have arrived, as if it were an important guest and we couldn't help but welcome it.

Do you know where the year came about? Let me tell you! Because I also listened to the older generation.

In the past, there was a monster called Nian, which often stole the people's food and also hurt the people, so that the people's lives would never be peaceful, and finally, there was a person who invented firecrackers, whenever it came, people took ** to light the firecrackers, and kept it next to the year beast, and the year beast would be scared away. Therefore, people also set this day as the New Year, which is also equivalent to our current New Year.

Do you know the customs of the Chinese New Year? Let me tell you! Because I also listened to the older generation.

Whenever. During the Chinese New Year, we all have to paste Spring Festival couplets, and we have to make dumplings until the evening and watch the "Spring Festival Gala". When we finish eating, parents will send a big red envelope to our children to represent our happiness and peace.

Early the next morning. We have to kowtow to our elders, and they will also give us a red envelope to represent their blessings to us.

I like the Chinese New Year because it always reminds me of "a thousand sails on the side of the sunken boat, and ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree." ”

The year is the most important day for the Chinese nation, and I hope we can remember it as it was and not let new things replace it.

Hehe, bluffing. A lie about poverty and spreading the idea of male superiority and inferiority.

You just don't eat every day.
