this day is a day for people to eat, drink, play and have fun. Northerners make jiaozi, while southerners make rice cakes. Dumplings are shaped like "Yuanbao" and rice cakes sound like "Niangao", which are good signs of good luck.
The custom of observing the old age not only expresses the feeling of parting and nostalgia for the years that have passed away like water, but also expresses the hope for the coming New Year. The ancients wrote in a poem "Shousui": "Inviting the Shousui A Rong family, the candle torch spreads red to the blue yarn; Thirty-six years have passed, and I cherish the years from this night. " It is human nature to cherish the years, so the great poet Su Shi wrote a famous sentence: "There will be no years next year, and my worries will be wasted;" Try your best to make it this evening, and the teenager can still boast! " This shows the positive significance of keeping old on New Year's Eve.
