The customs of Jinjiang for the New Year.

In Jinjiang, in order to have a good Spring Festival, it is necessary to steam a "bowl cake", also called "fat cake". In Minnan language, the fatter the rice cake, the better, because "fat" means getting rich and developed. Steaming "bowl cakes" must be "fermented" first, so "bowl cakes" means being able to develop and make a fortune.

2. Dust

People usually use tender bamboo branches and leaves, banyan branches and leaves, or long dusters tied with straw and sugarcane leaves to clean the dust cobwebs on the corner beams, and also use "tablecloths" to clean various farm tools and articles. The tender bamboo branches and leaves, straw and sugarcane leaves on the broom are generally not discarded after sweeping the dust, but collected and taken out as fuel on New Year's Eve in order to "jump the fire".
