1. Kaisui(beginning of the year): According to the Chine

traditional custom, starting from to )of the

last evening of the twelfth lunar month, each family must prepare

offering s to deities at the altar. At the same time, they too

prepare food for the New Year day: The whole family will then

stay awake together to attend to the year(called shou sui).

After haishi, )will come, and this is the

arrival of New Year(Yuandan). At this moment, people begin the

celebration with fireworks. Vegetarian and sweet foods will then

be placed are the altar for offerings, and incen be burned to

welcome the deities. In the ancient times, it was believed that

haishi connected the two years and thus was called kaisui.

At the same night, some families will follow the instruction

in Tongshu and place preparing altar in the direction of the

"fortune deity" during the "fortune time" to receive the deity. If

the direction of the "fortune deity" is at the "ill position", people

will choo to receive "happy deity" or "noble deity" instead.

2. There is an apparent difference in the custom of food

taking on Yuandan between the Chine in the northern and

southern regions. The northern Chine has the habit of taking

jiao zi(dumpling made of flour with vegetable and meat wrapped

inside).

Some people may put a sweet or a coin inside jiao zi, hoping

to have a sweet year after tasting the sweet and a wealthy year

after tasting the coin. on the other hand, the southern Chine

have the taboo for killing on Yuandan.

Therefore, they do not take meat in tee morning of Yuandan,

so as to avoid bloodshed or mutual slaughter. In order to evade

misfortune, they have the first meal of this day without meat.

Instead, they take vegetarian food for the sake of virtue.

3. What is special during the New Year is that parents or

elders will distribute red packets(ang pao or ya sui qian)to the

children. People in the ancient times were more particular in

giving away the red packets: the distribution took place on the

eve of New Year so that the kids could suppress the past year and

enter the New Year.

Ya sui has the meaning of overcoming the unpredictable

future. Reprenting the wishes for the healthy psychological

growth of the children, ya sui qian symbolis the elders' hope to

e their children overcome all the unpredictable elements

brought by the "year".
