After entering the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, people gradually began to steam buns, make tofu, kill pigs and sell meat, clean the house, buy firecrackers, and make new clothes. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the main activity is to send Grandpa Zaohu (the Lord Zao) to heaven. This is usually done in the evening. Usually, paper horses are made, and wine and wine are burned together with the Lord Zao. The main activity is to send him to heaven to say more good things, and put some As a tribute, the couplets next to the statue of Kitchen Lord are usually: God speaks good things, the lower world ensures peace, and the head of the family is criticized horizontally. At noon on New Year's Eve, I started posting Spring Festival couplets and went to the forest to invite my ancestors to go home for the New Year. At night, every family lights up the sky lanterns, and the men of the same family usually get together to drink and stay up late, while the women make dumplings together, and usually go to bed after making them (we don’t even eat dinner there) . On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the men get up the whole family at about four o'clock in the morning, put on new clothes, worship Grandpa God and the door god, set off firecrackers, send horses, and serve dumplings for breakfast. Then a middle-aged man was left at home to take care of the elderly and receive New Year visitors. Others will go out to pay New Year greetings, usually first visiting the homes of close relatives and kowtow to their elders. Then close relatives gather together to visit other people’s homes to pay New Year greetings. There's no need to kowtow. The first thing you ask when you meet is, "Why don't you eat flat food?" Then smoke a cigarette, drink tea, eat some melon seeds, and chat with the old man. From the west of the village to the east of the village, no matter what the surname is, as long as there are elderly people in the family, they all worship again. These activities are completed before dawn. When the east turns red, the New Year greetings have already been completed. Then some people may go to other villages to pay New Year greetings to people with the same surname. This is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I would like to wish my family and the people in this village a happy New Year. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my nephew began to visit his grandmother’s house for New Year greetings. I went to my aunt's house on the third and fourth day of the lunar month, and to my father-in-law's house on the fifth and sixth day of the lunar month. Especially on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, new uncles usually come to visit on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I started going to my aunt's house on the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month and so on.
People also eat dumplings on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and also on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. There are opinions about this.
