[Memory] Spring Festival custom： On New Year’s Day, put on new clothes and pay a New Year call to your elders.

Today is the first day of New Year’s Day. Did the friends keep their birthday last night? Traditionally, on the first day of New Year’s Day, people should put on new clothes and pay New Year greetings to their elders. Parents should give lucky money to their children to wish them peace.

In the past, every family, men, women and children put on new clothes, hats and shoes on the first day of New Year’s Day, and worshipped the heavens and the earth and ancestors first. Then the younger generation paid New Year greetings to their elders, and parents had to distribute lucky money to their children. This was the long-awaited hope of the children, and they finally got it in their pockets with joy. The custom of lucky money has a long history. The so-called pressing the age is "pressing the special", which means suppressing evil and exorcising evil. The ancients believed that giving children lucky money could keep them safe.

Adults are always full of hope for their children, hoping that they can have a good start in the new year. Therefore, let the children eat a piece of cake on the first day of the new year, which means "happy" and "high promotion". In addition, you should also "eat sugar tea": two peanuts and two red dates should be put in the tea, and a little sugar should be added, which means sweetness.

Once upon a time, in addition to walking around each other and celebrating the New Year, the rest of the time was "celebrated" with various kinds of trips and entertainment activities. At that time, the places that Shanghainese visited the most were the City God Temple and the connected Yu Garden: "There is nothing to be happy in the New Year, and you can cross the zigzag bridge in the garden. Suddenly I heard the children clap their hands together, and the kite shook for a long time. "
