Paying New Year greetings is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and to express their best wishes to each other. In ancient times, New Year greetings were paid to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating them on a happy New Year and greeting their lives. In case of friends and relatives of the same generation, you should also salute and congratulate.
Nowadays, on the first day of the new year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, and wish each other good luck in the coming year. With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings is constantly adding new contents and forms. In addition to following the previous New Year greetings, telegrams, telephone calls, text messages and online New Year greetings are also emerging.
Object forms of New Year greetings
Worship the family: On the morning of the first day, after the younger generation gets up, they will first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation.
Visit relatives and friends: You must go to your parents-in-law's house in the first or second day of junior high school, and you must bring gifts. After entering the door, first bow down to the ancestors' statues and tablets, and then bow down to the elders in turn. You can stay to eat, play, discuss and so on.
Courtesy visit: If you pay a New Year call to a friend, as soon as you enter the room, if you are on an equal footing with the host, you just need to bow. If you are older than yourself, you should still take the initiative to bow your head. The host will come down from his seat to help you, and even say "you're welcome" to show humility. This situation is generally not suitable for sitting for a long time, so leave after a few pleasantries. After the host worships, he should pay a return visit another day.
