The Chinese New Year is generally held about ten days before and after the beginning of spring every year, so it is also called Spring Festival. Its purpose is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Because, people have survived a harsh winter, and finally ushered in a season full of vitality and vitality. Inevitably, there will be new hopes and new plans. Naturally, you should put aside the old years before, no matter how you have been, whether you are happy or unlucky. In a word, the past is over, and a new era will begin in the future.
Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival, so there are many taboos during the Spring Festival. Mainly speaking and doing things, we need to be cautious. When you talk, smile and say more auspicious words; don't rush into things, so as not to get good mouth color. Specifically, every day's taboo has its own emphasis and requirements, as follows:
December 24. On this day, people began to clean their houses for the Spring Festival. It is forbidden to kill in Hubei, mash garlic in Henan, or "send God day" in Taiwan.
December 25. People should not ask for debts. If you owe someone money, you'd better pay it off before December 25. I'll let it go again on this day.
December 26. It is not suitable to give alms to others. Places that like pasta begin to steam steamed bread and prepare for the new year. There are also places where New Year cakes are prepared.
New year's Eve. This day, commonly known as "New Year's Eve" and "New Year's Eve", is the last day of the previous year. Therefore, there are many taboos:

3. Do not urinate on New Year's Eve. Do not urinate until you see the sun.

It can also be wrapped with red paper and thrown into the river after new year's day, chanting 'breaking porcelain, a lot of money and silver'.

After filling them up, a well sealing ceremony was held in the countryside. That is, cover the well surface with a large dustpan, and then worship the God of the well. On the first day of the new year, we can't uncover the dustpan, because people often regard water as the water of wealth. When we uncover the water of the dustpan, doesn't it mean the outflow of wealth?
7. It's very unlucky not to pour oil on New Year's Eve. Adults should be careful when lighting oil and cooking oil. They are afraid that children will make trouble and spill oil, which is equal to "pouring out the stove". Next year, they will have bad luck.

Every day what to do, how to do have their own stress.
To be specific, there is a new year's song as a proof: don't be greedy for children. It's the new year after Laba. Laba porridge, how many days? Lililala 23.
