1. Reunion Dinner (年夜饭) - Families gather for a feast that often includes a variety of traditional dishes like dumplings, fish, and spring rolls, symbolizing wealth, abundance, and prosperity.
2. Watch the Fireworks (放鞭炮) - It's customary to set off fireworks and firecrackers to scare away evil spirits and attract good luck for the coming year.
3. Spring Cleaning (大扫除) - People clean their homes from top to bottom to sweep away bad luck and make room for good fortune in the new year.
4. Decorations - Homes are decorated with red lanterns, couplets (spring couplets), paper cuttings, and other red and gold decorations to symbolize good luck and happiness.
5. Wearing New Clothes - It's considered lucky to wear new clothes on New Year's Day, as it's a symbol of starting the new year fresh.
6. Giving Red Envelopes (压岁钱) - Older family members give red envelopes containing money to younger ones as a gift for good luck and protection.
7. Eating Nian Gao (年糕) - Nian gao is a sticky rice cake that symbolizes progress and growth, as the character for "nian" (年) also means year.
