Some experts believe that the cultures of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have the same roots. The most important thing to carry forward the tradition is to keep the integrity and inheritance, and then there is innovation and development. The inheritance of New Year's customs requires the older generation to constantly tell young people, and then revitalize traditional New Year's customs with the help of the Internet, intangible cultural heritage development, animation elements, etc.
