Manchu people
When celebrating the Spring Festival, Manchu people put up window grilles, couplets and the word "神". The whole family makes dumplings on New Year's Eve, and the dumplings should be pleated. Don't make "monk's head" dumplings with bare edges, for fear of being "bald" after a long time. Dumplings should be arranged in horizontal and vertical rows, which symbolizes that the new year's wealth will be in all directions. Dumplings cannot be placed in a circle, for fear that life will be difficult.
Bai people
The Bai people begin to worship each other and give gifts to each other on New Year’s Eve. After midnight, young men and women rush to carry water first to show their hard work. In the early morning, the whole family drinks sugar water soaked with rice flowers, wishing that the days will be sweeter than honey. After breakfast, the children were led by adults to the homes of relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings to their elders. Dragon lanterns, lion dances, and whip beating are indispensable activities during the festival.
Mongolian people
The Mongolian people have always admired the color white, so they call the first month of the lunar calendar "White Moon" and the New Year's Day "White Festival". Preparations for the Mongolian New Year begin on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In addition to cleaning, bathing and decorating the yurt, people also need to wear new clothes, horses wear red tassels and new saddles. Whole cows and sheep with hada should be dedicated to close relatives and friends. On New Year's Eve, "hand meat" is eaten to show family reunion. In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people first toast to the elders and then toast to their peers. Relatives and friends give khatas to each other to wish them good luck in the new year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, New Year greetings to elders must be in the morning.
