The Spring Festival is a new day. Although the Spring Festival is set on the first day of the first lunar month, its activities are not limited to that day. From the end of the new year on the 24th, people begin to be busy with the new year: offering sacrifices to the kitchen, sweeping away the dust, buying new year's goods, pasting New Year's red, washing their hair and bathing, and putting on lanterns and decorations. All these activities have a common theme, that is, to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Spring Festival is not only a happy and peaceful festival for family reunion, but also a carnival for people to express their yearning for happiness and freedom and an eternal spiritual pillar. Before the festival, people leaving their hometown in Biejing will try their best to return home and reunite with their relatives and share the happiness of family. On New Year's Eve, the whole family got together and ate the "reunion dinner". The elders distributed "lucky money" to the children, and then "ShouSui" to welcome the new year. During the festival, relatives and friends visit each other to express their feelings and best wishes for the new year.
