2. Offering sacrifices to stoves: The Spring Festival in my hometown usually begins with offering sacrifices to stoves. In folk songs, "Twenty-three candied melons stick" refers to the sacrificial stove on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. There is a saying in my hometown that "officials, three people, four boatmen and five". I spent the New Year at my aunt's house this year, so I offered sacrifices to the stove on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. Aunt invited the paper statue of Kitchen God early in the morning to cook sugar and adzuki bean rice? It is evening when everything is finished, and a series of procedures such as lighting candles, offering incense and offering sacrifices are over. According to my aunt, the purpose of offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove is to make the kitchen god "say good things in heaven and keep peace in the lower world."
3. Dust-sweeping: After the sacrificial stove is held, preparations for welcoming the New Year are officially started. Every year from the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve, people in my hometown call this period "Spring Festival Day", also called "Dust Sweeping Day", which means year-end cleaning. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household should clean the environment and clean all kinds of appliances.
4. Posting Spring Festival couplets, the word "Fu": Every year on New Year's Eve, every household posts the Spring Festival couplets they bought, and the elegant people spread paper and splashed ink on their own, decorating the doors inside and outside the house, making it prosperous. After the Spring Festival couplets are posted, every household can't forget to paste the word "Fu" on the door and wall, and it is upside down, taking the homonym of "Fu" and pinning people's good wishes for the New Year.
5. Happy New Year: It is an important activity in the Spring Festival. Friends, relatives and neighbors congratulate each other on the New Year, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. Ancestor worship: People in my hometown will never forget their dead ancestors during the holidays. Chinese New Year is no exception. Offering food to show one's mind is a common form of ancestor worship in our hometown.
