#My hometown my year #Our New Year's custom here is like this: on the morning of the first day of the first year, each person eats a bowl or half a bowl of rice balls, and then eats a bowl or half a bowl of noodles, which means "reunion and reunion, when encountering difficult things, they will roll over, and when they encounter good things, they will not let them slip away." At noon and in the evening, eat boiled cold powder or noodles, and avoid meat. After eating breakfast, go to the temple to burn incense for a walk, and avoid visiting the door.
The second year of junior high school is to go to the household and pay homage to the New Year. Usually, the son-in-law's family goes to pay homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Especially for a new son-in-law who has just gotten married, he must pay homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law must send a new set of clothes to his son-in-law. People who do not have a father-in-law and mother-in-law will pay homage to the elder cousin (brother-in-law).
After the third year of junior high school, they visit each other to pay respects to the New Year until the end of the year. In the past, the end of the year was the fifteenth day of the first month, but now there are generally fewer people who visit each other on the sixth and seventh days of the first year. And to go to work, at least until after the "Breaking of the Fifth Festival" (the fifth day of the first month). In the past, the fifteenth day of the first month was called the "Breaking of the Five Festivals", but now people are not so strictly observed.
