Three days have passed since the New Year, and everyone ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and drank reunion wine on Chinese New Year's Eve. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the younger generations kowtow to the elders to greet the New Year. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the little daughter-in-law had a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right hand, and carried two fat dolls back to her parents' house to visit her parents. So tomorrow, the third day of the Lunar New Year, what will everyone do?

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the end of the year is quietly coming. The sound of firecrackers gradually subsided, and the rhythm of life returned to daily life. It's like a beautiful piece of music that, after the excitement, gradually reverts back to a calm melody. For many people, the year is over after the second year of junior high school.

Those bustling restaurants, after a few days of short rest, began to reopen their doors to welcome visitors from all over the world. And those buses have also returned to their former busyness, carrying people's expectations and hopes, and driving into the distance.

For migrant workers who have left their hometowns, the third year of junior high school is when they start packing their bags and preparing to leave home. They may be a little reluctant, but more of them are looking forward to the future. They will use their sweat and hard work to write the chapter of the new year.

And for those peasant uncles who face the loess with their backs to the sky, spring is the season of sowing, and they can't wait to start busy in the fields. Each seed carries their hopes and expectations, and also heralds a good harvest in the new year.

In the early spring sun, everything is quietly changing. Although the breath of the year has gradually faded, the enthusiasm and hope for life are still in full swing. The third day of the Lunar New Year opened the prelude to the new year, bringing us endless expectations and hopes.

If you are a rich and idle person, the third day of the Lunar New Year is still the New Year.

On the third day of the first lunar month, we ushered in the Xiao Nian Dynasty, also known as the Red Dog Day. The origin of this tradition can be traced back to ancient China, like a bright pearl, embedded in the long history of China.

Legend has it that Nuwa Niangniang chose this day to create a pig and bring new life to the world. Therefore, the third day of the new year is also known as the Pig New Year. This day carries people's prayers for a good harvest and prosperity for livestock in the new year.

There is also a beautiful folk legend that the night of the third day of the new year is the day when the mouse marries. In order not to disturb them, people usually go to bed early with the lights out. Some people will also sprinkle some rice grains and cakes on the corner of the house, symbolizing the harvest of the year with the rats. This not only shows people's kindness and innocence, but also reflects the concept of harmonious coexistence between Chinese and nature.

This day is also Guzi's birthday. In order to pray for a good harvest in the new year, people perform festivals and abstain from eating rice as a sign of reverence for nature. This simple heart of gratitude is the embodiment of the profound heritage of Chinese culture.

In the land of the south, the third day of the first lunar month is a beautiful time for spring guests. On this day, some families slaughter fat pigs or lambs and enthusiastically invite friends and relatives of the same clan to gather together to celebrate the festive season.

Celebrate the New Year in peace and auspiciousness
