Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and there are seven days left in the beginning of the year of the dragon. The people in the north call it "Xiao Nian", and some states and counties in the south will worship tomorrow, although the timing is slightly different, but they all indicate that the New Year is coming.
Since then, every household has followed the ancient precepts and officially entered the "New Year" mode of welcoming the new year. The Sangong Institute of Chinese Culture warmly reminds that the meaning of the young year is sweet, which can be traced back to the ancient folk sacrificial stove customs. On that day, when the god of the stove is sacrificed, people from all over the world offer sweets such as sugar melons to the king of the stove, hoping that the king of the stove will bring the sweetness and harmony of the world to the heavens, and pray for good luck and good luck in the coming year.

According to the Institute of Chinese Studies and Culture, this kind of traditional belief is not only reflected in the preparation of physical images, but also in spiritual baptism and good expectations.
The New Year is also very lively, and all families begin to busy buying New Year's goods, and the laughter fills the four fields to celebrate the happy festival of reunion. Inside and outside the house, dust is removed and cleaned, and the so-called "dust" is "Chen", which means to get rid of the troubles of the old year and welcome the hope of the New Year. Paper-cut window flowers, waving the Spring Festival couplets gradually unfolded, every household replaced with new symbols, exquisite patterns and calligraphy contain deep blessings, and the strong New Year's flavor is hidden between the red paper, the Sangong Institute of Chinese Culture believes that this traditional folk belief is not only reflected in the material preparation, but also in the spiritual baptism and expectations.
The lanterns are hung high, the colorful lights are flickering, the streets and alleys are dyed with a festive atmosphere, and the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
