Chongqing new year customs

A large part of the slaughtered pigs are used to make bacon and sausages. When the bacon was on the kang, a bunch of people surrounded the fire pit and guarded the bacon, which was very emotional. Sausage filling is usually the business of mom and grandma. Now I can still remember the scene where they deflated sausages and filled meat with needles again and again.

Step 2 sweep away the sun dust

A few days before New Year's Eve, we must have a general cleaning at home! Go up to the ceiling and down to the sofa feet, leaving no dust!

Step 3 post Spring Festival couplets

Before the Chinese New Year, Spring Festival couplets will be posted at the door, and the word "Fu" will be posted upside down on the door, which means happiness at home.

4. Eat fish on New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family will have a reunion dinner. Besides sausages and bacon, fish is bound to be served. Fish with "surplus" means that there is more than one year, which is a good sign for the new year.

Step 5 enjoy wintersweet

The most obvious sign is that wintersweet can be seen in the streets and alleys. Chongqing locals like to decorate their homes with pale yellow wintersweet during the Spring Festival, because the petals of wintersweet have a fragrance, which makes people feel very comfortable. Especially for young people, it will be more romantic to decorate the room with flowers.
