By burning incense, people hope to be blessed and blessed by the gods, so that their families will be safe, their careers will be smooth, and their health will be healthy.

The second is not to forget to "pick up the god of the stove". In traditional Chinese culture, the god of the stove is an important patron deity of the family and is believed to bring good luck and wealth. Therefore, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people will hold a ceremony to receive the god of the stove to pray for the blessing and protection of the god of the stove. This custom reflects people's yearning for family peace and prosperity, and also shows the Chinese's piety and respect for the gods.

Finally, don't forget to greet the New Year. New Year's greetings are one of the most important activities on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also one of the traditional ways of social interaction for Chinese. On this day, people put on new clothes, visit relatives and friends, and greet each other for the New Year. Through New Year's greetings, people not only express their concern and blessings to their relatives and friends, but also convey the joy and joy of the New Year.
