On New Year’s Eve, eating New Year’s Eve is the most lively and enjoyable time for every household in the Spring Festival. The sumptuous New Year’s dishes are filled with a table, and the family is reunited, sitting around the table and having a reunion dinner. There are big dishes, cold pots, stir-fry and snacks on the table, and the hot pot is boiling and steaming, which indicates that the coming year is booming; "Fish" and "Yu" are homophonic, which not only symbolizes "auspicious and festive", but also implies "annual surplus"; Radish, commonly known as vegetable head, wishes a good head; Frying food wishes the family a prosperous life, such as "cooking oil with fire". Northerners are used to eating jiaozi on New Year’s Eve, which means "making friends at a younger age". And because the white-flour jiaozi is shaped like a silver ingot, a pot of pots on the table symbolizes the meaning of "making a fortune in the New Year, and the ingot rolls in".

Lucky money is given by the elders to the younger generation. After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone is not allowed to leave at the table. When everyone has finished eating, the elders will give it to the younger generation and encourage their children and grandchildren to learn and improve in the new year. Because "old" and "precious" are homophonic, the elders hope that the lucky money can exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters, and bless the healthy growth of children. "Lucky money" first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and it is a wearable coin-shaped ornament. During the Republic of China, the lucky money became the "welfare money" given by the elders to the younger generation.

There is a saying among the Han people in China that when the new year comes, the first thing for every household to open the door is to set off firecrackers, so as to get rid of the old and welcome the new with the sound of firecrackers. Firecrackers are a specialty of China, also known as "firecrackers", "firecrackers" and "firecrackers", which have a long history of more than 2,000 years. Setting off firecrackers can create a festive and lively atmosphere, which is a kind of entertainment in festivals and can bring happiness and good luck to people. Today, the concept of "Green Spring Festival" is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and traditional firecrackers have also been replaced by colored lights, lanterns, electronic firecrackers and other products. As the Spring Festival approaches, the flavor of the year is stronger and fresher.

Shounian, commonly known as "staying up late", waits for the arrival of the new year. "Year" was commonly used with "year" in ancient China. Year is year, and year is year. The custom of observing the age has a long history. In the old twelfth lunar month, on the thirtieth night, after eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, people did their jobs according to their own division of labor. Parents should preside over the worship of gods, buddhas and ancestors to welcome the "lower world of god". Children go outdoors to set off firecrackers and fireworks, while women are busy preparing noodles and stuffing for jiaozi. Busy, the whole family, old and young, sat around the stove, eating dry goods, melons and fruits, talking about the past and the present, playing cards and playing chess, and staying up all night, which is called "guarding the old age." It is said that the custom of observing the age was very popular in the Jin Dynasty.
The customs of the year have been changing.
But what remains unchanged is people’s good wishes.
On New Year’s Eve, the year-old ends that night.
This is the most China day and night.
It is a magical intersection between the old year and the new year.
A year of sorrow and joy will pass tonight.
A unified beginning and a new tomorrow.
At the end of this year
A glass of wine to send the old year.
wake up after a sound sleep
It’s a new day.
It’s another prosperous and auspicious New Year.
Say "Happy New Year" to each other.
