Due to the differences in local customs
The dates of the minor years are slightly different
Generally in the north is the twenty-third day of the Waxing Moon
To the south is the twenty-fourth day of the Waxing Moon
Some places Chinese New Year's Eve eve
Also called "little Chinese New Year's Eve"
It doesn't matter what day it's dated
Everyone loves life
I wish to be happy and fulfilled
Consistent

The little year is regarded as the prelude to the New Year
Every household is busy buying New Year goods
Paste spring joints, cut window flowers
Folklore is rich and varied
Some people eat dumplings
Some places in the south want to eat rice cakes
Meaning that the standard of living is getting "higher" every year

Sugar melon is also considered a New Year's delicacy
Boil yellow rice and malt into sugar
"Kanto sugar" is a long strip type
"Sugar melon" is made into a flat round type
It tastes sweet and delicious
Legend has it that the King of Stove was going to heaven during the New Year
Report on the good and evil of the family over the past year
Folk worship the god Vesta
People set up offerings in front of the statue of the king of the stove
I hope the king of the stove says more good things

Because "dust" and "Chen" are harmonious
So you need to "dust off"
Wipe the windows and wash your clothes
Every house is cleaned
Sweep away the old stuff
Together with the unhappiness encountered in the old years
Dust them all clean
The Lunar New Year is approaching
People sang "New Year's Ballads"
Looking forward to the wonderful new year
Joy everywhere

From ancient times to the present
"Years" are all expected
Happy family reunion and reunion of old friends
Reunion is the theme of the festival
Everyone has expectations for the future
When red lanterns hang in the streets and alleys
When the beautiful window flowers are pasted
The taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger

The little year is coming,
No matter where you are,
May you be safe and prosperous!
