In addition to traditional pastries and fruits, modern supermarkets provide people with too many choices, including melon seeds, almonds, peanuts, pine nuts, pistachios, chocolate, yogurt, beef jerky, potato chips... and even... The ice cream that was only eaten in the summer was pouring into every household like crazy. Gone are the days of famine in the 1960s and 1970s when it could only be served by ticket and per capita. We no longer saw the kind of queues that lasted for several hours. When the food is almost here, the store suddenly displays a sign saying "Peanuts and melon seeds are sold out." People are really much happier now. As long as they have money in their pockets, there is nothing they can't eat, only things they can't imagine.

In recent years, Yangzhou citizens have gradually formed the habit of visiting the flower market to buy flowers during the New Year. They include seasonal daffodils, wintersweets, cheerful peonies, kumquats, "koucai" flowers, money trees, and ingots. Bamboo has become a favored object for people. Using these colorful, bright and fragrant flower bonsais to decorate their homes during the New Year will indeed make people feel refreshed and energetic, and feel that spring has arrived.

There are still many New Year’s goods. If I really want to explain them in detail, I probably couldn’t finish them in three days and three nights. But no matter whether it is old or new, people’s attitude towards the Spring Festival is still the same. This is the Chinese nation. It is the most lively and important festival for generations. People have worked hard for a year. Shouldn’t we be able to truly satisfy ourselves during these few days of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new? New Year's goods - truly ignite people's endless yearning and deep attachment to the Spring Festival.

In the old days, as soon as the first day of the New Year passed, people would bring pig heads, incense, candles, and firecrackers to the Tutu Temple to burn incense. After burning incense, I went home and stopped sleeping, waiting for dawn. As soon as it gets light, the "caimen" (gate) will be opened, incense candles will be lit and firecrackers will be set off to "welcome the new year". Then the younger generation got up to pay New Year greetings to the elders. The elders gave the younger generation orange and cloud cakes, saying "take the overall situation" and "step by step high". Then have breakfast "glutinous rice balls" and noodles. After breakfast, young and middle-aged people go out to pay New Year greetings to their neighbors. There are cigarettes, melon seeds, candies, pastries and other foods at home, and the elderly receive the guests who come to pay New Year greetings. No new meals are made at noon, and New Year's Eve meals are eaten The rest of the dinner is called "Old Year Old" (sometimes "Old Year Old" is eaten until the fourth day of the first lunar month).

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, sharp tools such as knives and scissors are not used to avoid evil; they are not washed. The fifth day of the first lunar month is called "God of Wealth Day", and people go to the streets outside their homes to burn money and turn it into paper. "Shauli Market". For breakfast, some eat rice dumplings, some eat noodles, and some fry glutinous rice cooked on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, there are also people wearing God of Wealth clothes and masks who come to greet the God of Wealth, called "Dance to the God of Wealth", the host offers cakes and steamed buns to express "Thank you to the God of Wealth".

After the founding of New China, the custom of burning incense to worship gods has disappeared in many families. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, some units hold group worship. , the people also carried out New Year greetings to the families of martyrs and various cultural activities.
