What are the Spring Festival customs in Malaysia?

1. When it comes to Chinese New Year activities in Malaysia, the first one is of course "fishing for a living"! Fishing for fish is a popular New Year custom of Han nationality in Nanyang area. Especially popular in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other places. Colorful raw fish have colorful and brilliant intentions, and the name "fishing raw fish" also means "wind and water" and "fishing more and more prosperous" ?

whether it's a business dinner, a start-up wine, a family gathering of relatives and friends, etc., everyone always likes to "fish"! Everyone will say auspicious words while fishing for a living, and the higher the fishing, the more auspicious it means, and pray for prosperity and good luck in the new year. This feature has been "popular" in Greater China and has become the first signboard to introduce the characteristics of Malaysian Spring Festival.

2. During the Spring Festival in Malaysia, in addition to "fishing for life", Malaysian Hakkas or Cantonese people will also eat more distinctive potted dishes, which must be packed in a round basin, representing a round and round group.

The cooking method of the seemingly rough potted vegetables is very elegant, which is made by frying, frying, burning, boiling, stewing and marinating, and then filling the pots layer by layer. There is even dried Kun in it, which is composed of more than a dozen raw materials such as chicken, duck, fish, oyster, yuba, radish, mushrooms and pork. The way of eating potted vegetables is also in line with the traditional patriarchal clan system of China people. Diners at a table only eat one potted vegetable, which means reunion and auspicious weather.

Besides, Chinese Malaysians eat fish (more than a year) and shrimp (meaning laugh) just like southerners in China during the New Year. Shrimp is similar to "ha" in Cantonese) eating pig's hands (lucky) and rice cakes (rising step by step) and so on.

3. On the ninth day of September, Fujian people in Malaysia will "worship God", which can be said to be the most important festival for Fujian people. Even more lively than New Year's Eve. Firecrackers are also set off harder than New Year's Eve. Some people call it "off-year". In Malaysia, you don't have to go to China City or the Chinese community during the Spring Festival. Firecrackers can be heard everywhere. Very festive. On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Fujian people worship the gods, which is more lively and grand than welcoming the new year and receiving the god of wealth on New Year's Eve.
