The custom of Gaoming Spring Festival

Brilliant Spring Festival customs are:

1, Perry is

During the Spring Festival, the elders should put the "gifts" prepared in advance in red envelopes and distribute them to the younger generation. This kind of money is called "lucky money". It is said that lucky money can suppress evil spirits. When the younger generation gets the lucky money, they can spend the first year safely.

In Gaoming, in addition to adults giving dividends to children, married people should give dividends to unmarried people. Relatives, friends and colleagues also share profits with each other. In some companies and factories, bosses will also open doors for employees when they go to work after holidays, in order to have a good "lucky draw" in the new year.

2, lion dance

In most villages in Gaoming, there are lion dance teams composed of villagers. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the lion dance team beat gongs and drums, held high colorful flags and assembled teams to celebrate the New Year in every household. When they arrived at the door, every household set off firecrackers to welcome them. The villagers sent hot tea and candy to warmly entertain the lions, and hung a string of red envelopes and lettuce at the door to let the lions dance and "pick the green".

In addition to walking around the countryside and dancing lions, the lion-awakening team will also go to markets and urban areas to "pick green flowers" for shopping malls, companies and government agencies in the New Year, making festivals in urban and rural areas very lively.

3. Happy New Year

Paying New Year greetings is a traditional custom of wise people, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new and express their best wishes to each other. Worship in the Spring Festival is first of all to worship God. Worship is to pray for a year of good weather, family peace and prosperity.

Another main way to pay New Year greetings is for people to go out to visit relatives and friends. Generally speaking, the first day is mainly to worship God, and the second day is to visit relatives and friends. People visit relatives and friends with their children with gifts.

4. Spring outing

The Spring Festival holiday is long, so many people in Gaoming are not satisfied with the monotonous life of drinking vegetables at home and visiting relatives and friends in the local area. After the main activities of the Spring Festival on the second day of the first grade, the spring outing began. In Gaoming, people say that in the third and fourth grades, fewer and fewer local people went to the streets, but more and more people went out, which is also a change of the times.
