The Spring Festival custom of Fengjie

The Spring Festival custom in Fengjie:

1. Sweep the dust, paste the door gods, paste the Spring Festival couplets, paste the blessings upside down, buy new year's goods, and decorate the doors inside and outside the house.

There are three main activities on New Year's Eve: having a reunion dinner, offering sacrifices and observing the New Year. Therefore, the activities during this period are all around changing the old for the new, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings. Watching the Spring Festival Gala, eating jiaozi, setting off firecrackers and playing late into the night, this is called Shousui.

3. Happy New Year: The traditional folk customs in China are a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their best wishes to each other. Generally speaking, starting from home, on the first morning, after the younger generation gets up, they should first pay a New Year call to their elders and wish them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation.

4. Mountain climbing: Fengjie people will never forget their dead ancestors on holidays, and the Spring Festival is no exception. During the Spring Festival, they often go to the graves of deceased ancestors in rural areas to sweep graves, remove weeds from graves, cultivate soil, hang graves, set off firecrackers, burn incense, burn paper money, kowtow and send acacia blessings.

5. Back to her parents' home: A married daughter will take her husband and children back to her parents' home for the New Year. Fengjie people have a saying: don't go out on the first day, go to your mother's house on the second day, and go to your father's house on the third day.
