The Lunar New Year is a traditional grand festival in China, the most important festival for the Chinese, and I believe that no Chinese person does not know it. Although Hong Kong is now a British colony, there are many different nationalities, and there are many foreigners, but Hong Kong is so close to the mainland, and China cannot be separated at all, so the Lunar New Year is also an important festival for Hong Kong people, many foreigners are also accustomed to the customs of the Spring Festival, of course, in Hong Kong for the Lunar New Year, in the customs and atmosphere is slightly different from the tradition.

I don't know if it's because it's a capitalist society, only a small number of Hong Kong people of the older generation traditionally post Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures at home during the Lunar New Year, and most of the new generation of young people instead paste some shops or homes with "prosperous business" and "safe entry and exit". Although this is the case, the original meaning of the posting of spring is the same as that of the posting of the Spring Festival and the New Year, and it is taken from its auspicious meaning, hoping that everything will go smoothly and be safe and secure in the coming year.

Lion dance and dragon dance are particularly popular in Hong Kong, to say these two, the most lively is the major associations, at this time, these underworld will also join in the fun, the community is now also popular for the New Year, at this time the boss of the major associations, the leaders will pay New Year's greetings to the wine, worship the second master, and the lion dance and dragon dance is their key program, every time, there are many people, the scene does not know how hot.

It's a pity that in later generations, Hong Kong is too crowded like the dragon dance, the tradition of the lion dance is gone, only some Xinjie Village, walled villages and other places to maintain this tradition, now 76 years of Hong Kong have a lot of people who do this line, especially some dragon and tiger martial artists will dance lions, lion dances during the New Year, dragon dances are a good time for them to make extra money.

Now Hong Kong, Kowloon, the New Territories are not allowed to set off large fireworks, can only set off some small firecrackers, but Victoria and Chen Yihua live in the Repulse Bay area, where there are no high-rise buildings can set off large-scale fireworks, and in later generations, Hong Kong political axes will also explicitly prohibit fireworks.

There is a flower market on Chinese New Year's Eve in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong is known as a "food paradise" in later generations, even during the Spring Festival now, there are many customs about eating in Hong Kong, and most families will eat "reunion dinner" during the Spring Festival, generally setting up a banquet at home, and gathering the whole family up and down, inside and out, to enjoy dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve.

During the Lunar New Year, there are New Year's fairs in many places in Hong Kong and Kowloon, among which Victoria's flower market is the largest and most lively. Hong Kong citizens are accustomed to visiting the flower market as a family after dinner, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, everyone celebrates the festival together, like the mainland Chinese New Year's Eve is not as lively as Hong Kong, at this time most mainlanders will stay at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and the Lantern Festival will be more lively.

Celebrating the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong, the biggest feature is the red envelope system, of course, there are red envelopes in the mainland, but they are not as heavy as Hong Kong, pay attention to it, Hong Kong people have no money or not, only New Year's greetings, no matter how much or less, the elders are to give the juniors red envelopes.

The happiest thing about the Chinese New Year in Hong Kong is the children who receive "laisee", and during the Spring Festival, you can hear the laughter of "huhing" laisee everywhere. "Lishi" was originally "good thing", and it has become an indispensable custom with relatives during the Spring Festival.

The 28th day of the Hong Kong Lunar Calendar - Washing sloppy, it's time to clean up and (wash white) that is, (bath with grapefruit leaves and yellow peel leaves) to wash away the bad things of the previous year, and welcome the new year with a new attitude. Legend has it that taking a bath and getting a haircut before the Spring Festival has the effect of eliminating disasters and diseases, so every household cleans carefully to make the windows bright and clean, and there is no dust.

The eve of Chinese New Year's Eve is the busiest day of the year. First of all, on the gate post on the spring sticker, followed by the door, the hall, the year? It is also a good material to decorate the home. Chinese have always regarded red envelopes as a symbol of good fortune, so they love to use red to make various decorations, such as couplets, paintings, lights, colorful flowers, etc., almost vermilion.

Chinese New Year's Eve night - Chinese New Year's Eve night, the Chinese will have a family reunion to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, also known as the hearth, originated from the ancients all around the stove to eat. Members at home must wait until the whole family arrives before starting, and also set up dishes and chopsticks for family members who cannot go home for reunion dinner, to indicate the reunion of the whole family, in Hong Kong, where the fast pace of flashy life, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which symbolizes reunion, is particularly important. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten as slowly as possible, and every dish should be tasted, and there are several dishes, because they contain auspicious meanings, which are indispensable in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The first day of the new year – New Year's Day, commonly known as the "New Year", is the beginning of the new year when the keeper looks forward to the arrival of the child (12 o'clock) and announces the beginning of the new year. At this time, firecrackers are ringing in unison, and it is very lively. The whole family will get up early, and the whole family will put on new clothes and go to the homes of relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings. During New Year's greetings, they need to say "congratulations" to each other, give each other red packets, and say auspicious words, such as "Wishing you prosperity" and "increasing blessing and longevity". There are congratulatory guests at home, and the host will also bring out a variety of sweets to entertain guests, sweets are usually peanuts, winter melon sugar, melon seeds, red dates, etc., when guests eat sweets, they should also improvise some auspicious words, such as "eat sweet, make a lot of money" and so on.

It is an indispensable activity during the Chinese New Year period for younger generations to pay New Year's greetings to their elders, or between relatives and friends, and it can also be used to express greetings, care and enhance interpersonal relationships in the flashy society of Hong Kong. According to the legend and custom, on the first day of the new year, it is forbidden to sweep the floor and splash water outside, so as to take the omen that its fortune does not flow with the water. Also, hide the scissors on this day. Therefore, all food ingredients must be prepared in advance. The reason is that kitchen knives and scissors belong to murder weapons, and it is unlucky to move them during the Spring Festival.

The second day of the new year – the second day of the new year, the daughter who marries returns to her mother's house, and the husband also has to go along, so it is commonly known as "ying-in-law", which has become a custom for Chinese to celebrate the New Year. Legend has it that if you go back to your parents' house on the first day of the new year, your mother's family will become poor, so everyone goes back to their parents' house on the second day of the new year. And when you go back to your parents' house, you can't go empty-handed, you must prepare some gifts, called "hands" or "hands".

The third day of the Lunar New Year – the third day of the Lunar New Year, also known as "Chikou", is an unlucky day, and it is customary not to pay New Year's greetings today, because I heard that it is easy to quarrel with people on this day. Red dog is the god of anger, and when it happens, there will be murder, so the older generation of Hong Kong residents stay at home on this day to avoid encountering evil.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year – receiving the gods, the gods of the family, from the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month to the heavens to report their work, to the fourth day of the new year will return to each household.

After noon, the ceremony of receiving the gods begins: offering livestock, burning paper money, sacred horses, and setting off firecrackers to return the gods to their places.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year – the God of Wealth is opened, and the lively atmosphere of the New Year's Day ends here, commonly known as the "fifth day of the new year".

All the tributes in front of the gods can be removed, but the citrus tower will not be removed until the Lantern Festival. Garbage accumulated in the house can be removed today. In this way, the original pace of life is restored. The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is also a sacrifice to the God of Wealth, and all industries are preparing five animals to pray for the blessing of the God of Wealth.

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year – the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everything is back to normal, the store is open, and the work is as usual.

Before the door opens, firecrackers are set off every time, and their number is so large and lasts for a long time. Residents will also pick up their aunts and grandmothers to go back to their parents' homes for the New Year.

The seventh day of the first lunar month – the festival of people, as the name suggests, people say that people are the birth of people. This is not the birth of one person, but the birth of all mankind.

As for the origin of the festival, according to the Book of Jam, it is pointed out that from the beginning of the beginning, the order in which Heaven created all things was "one chicken and two dogs, three pigs and four sheep, five oxen and six horses, seven men and eight grains". Therefore, the seventh day of the first month is the one who says. It is said that Hong Kong citizens like to eat and porridge.

The so-called and first, is to hope in the scientific examination field high school champion, people eat and the first is to take its good intentions of the meaning.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month - the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the "Lantern Festival", also known as the Lantern Festival or the Shangyuan Festival, it is also the last ** of the Spring Festival, every household is lively to celebrate, and will eat glutinous rice balls, so it is also known as the small New Year, this night, you can see children everywhere carrying lanterns to go out to play, temples around the country will also put up lanterns, set up colorful sheds, display all kinds of birds and animals, flowers and birds and ancient and modern characters of the lanterns, and hold lantern competitions, attracting a lot of people to enjoy the lanterns, lively and interesting lantern riddle party is to enrich the customs of the Lantern Festival.

Although Hong Kong has been occupied by foreign forces for more than 100 years, it has always maintained contact with the mainland, not only because there are a huge number of smugglers, but also because many Cantonese people emigrated to Hong Kong during the liberation period, but since the special period on the mainland, some contacts have been severed, and now they have slowly recovered.

In later generations, like the mainland, most places have canceled many traditions, because most people run around the country, generally on the Chinese New Year's Eve day the whole family gathers together, the first day of the new year to pay a New Year's greeting, and then the Lantern Festival to enjoy the lanterns, many festivals and customs have been forgotten, and they do not care very much.

Although later generations had to ban activities such as fireworks and lion dances because of the development of Hong Kong, there was no way to prohibit them, and some traditional things, Hong Kong people have always retained, and they care about this aspect very much, and they are also very traditional, which is better than many places in the mainland.

Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, these places are China's territory, this is undoubted, but the policy is different from the mainland, 76 years, these three places are still China's three enclaves, perhaps because of the same enclave, so the exchanges between the three places are very frequent, and these places, I don't know if it is because of the close connection, the tradition of the festival is almost the same, and even in the 21st century in the future, the traditional customs of the three places are also very good.
