Winter in Guangzhou comes later than in the north. Generally1late October 165438+ will feel cool, and the temperature below 15 degrees basically starts from 65438+ in early February, and the coldest time is generally from late February to early February. During this period, if cold air from the north comes in, the temperature may drop to about 5 degrees, and occasionally it will drop to two or three degrees once a year, but generally speaking, it will never drop to zero.

How do people in Guangzhou spend the Spring Festival?

First of all, New Year greetings.

On the morning of the first day of junior high school, people get up and put on new clothes. The first thing they do is to pay homage to themselves. It is often the younger generation who wishes the elders first, and then the elders give their expectations to the younger generation. After breakfast, each of them pays a New Year call to relatives and friends. As the saying goes, "the first day and the second day have the meaning of New Year's greetings, and the third day and the fourth day have no intention of New Year's greetings." It is said that the sooner you pay a New Year call, the more you can see its sincerity. Therefore, some people go to pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends immediately after getting up, and then eat after coming back.

Second, go back to your mother's house.

On the second and third day of the first month, the married daughters go back to their parents' homes to celebrate the New Year with their husbands and children. When a daughter returns to her mother's house, there must be a big bag of biscuits and sweets distributed by her mother to her neighbors, just like the scene of the New Year. If there are many daughters at home, and these daughters don't come back on the same day, then we must share one at a time. The gift is quite thin, just four biscuits. But it reflects the deep affection, the real "courtesy is light and affection is heavy", and expresses the girl's miss for the villagers. When the girl goes home, if there is a nephew at home, menstruation has to pay again. Although she gave lucky money on New Year's Day, this time it had a different meaning. The daughter must return to her husband's house before dinner.

Third, visit the flower market.

The traditional flower market begins on December 28th of the lunar calendar and lasts for three days. The third day was postponed until the early morning of New Year's Day. Generally, a week before New Year's Eve, Flower Street has been closed. During the Chinese New Year, Shilihua Street is full of flowers, lanterns and colorful decorations, and people are constantly flowing day and night. Romance in the south is at its peak at the moment.
