In traditional customs, the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon requires the zodiac signs of "hiding from the stars", including the dragon, dog, ox, and rabbit. On Chinese New Year's Eve 2024, these signs need to pay special attention to avoid right and wrong and pray for good health in the New Year.

These measures are aimed at driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters, spending Chinese New Year's Eve safely, and getting the new year off to a good start.
In general, the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve custom of "hiding from the stars" reflects the blessings of the New Year and the expectation of auspicious peace. Although these customs have their own special meanings, we should pay more attention to the adjustment of mental state and the cultivation of a positive attitude during the festival.
