From the 16th day of the lunar month to the second day of the second month of February, the New Year lasts for 46 days, which is really the envy of many people compared with our seven-day Spring Festival.
But there is a painful history behind it. During the Jiaqing period, the Japanese invaded Putian, Fujian Province and entrenched for a long time. It was not until Qi Jiguang led the army to Putian and carried out many encirclements and suppressions of the Japanese invaders that Putian was able to restore peace.
But when people hiding in the mountains return home, they can only see their loved ones everywhere.
Since the war occurred around the Spring Festival, the people of Putian have never had the opportunity to celebrate the New Year, so the people meet on the second day of the first lunar month as the day to visit relatives and friends.
To this day, Putian people do not leave relatives in the second year of junior high school, but people decide to make up for the New Year on the fourth day of junior high school, also known as "being a big year".
