Anything collected from the broom should be kept inside the house, as throwing it out would mean parting with wealth for the coming year.
It's also important that when sweeping the floor, one must not sweep in to someone's feet, because it would bring bad luck to them in times to come. People would not leave the house through the back door on New Year's Day, either; older family members would not scold kids, even if they do not behave themselves as they should. They are fictional animals either living in the sea or flying in the sky. This explains why people perform Lion and Dragon dances to celebrate the New Year.
In this way, they drive away all evil plagues and look forward to the good luck of the New Year. China is a vast country, so the food customs and favourite dishes vary in different regions. There are different flavours of Jiaozi with different types of fillings, such as meat, seafood and vegetables. In Southern China, in particular in the coastal provinces such as Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and so on, the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner are even more diverse and colourful.
This dish is cooked with rice, beans, peanuts, dried fruit, lotus seeds, nuts, sugar and so on, traditionally symbolising harvest of the past year. Nian Gao is cake steamed with sticky glutinous rice and cane sugar. The term Niao Gao therefore can be interpreted as "Getting higher, or taller, or better or more promising for the year to come". The whole family stays together to make Jiaozi with fillings of peanuts, dates, chestnuts, and meat stuffing into dumplings and sometimes coins to symbolise luck.
In the morning and on the days that follow, people would visit the temple fairs, watch colourful street performances and so on. In some places like Hong Kong, people eat vegetarian food on the first day of the New Year. At the Newham Chinese Association , until recently the management and members of the Association would meet to discuss and plan for a big New Year party. Volunteers mostly retired chefs and helpers would cook delicious dishes for members, while guests from partner organisations were invited to come for the meal, where Lion Dance and other artistic performances would be staged.
In the party was held in a local restaurant, because St Mark's Community Centre had no suitable facilities for cooking. Because of lockdown, no party has been planned for so far. This is because people often have to work on New Year's Day, unless it falls on a weekend. Even if it falls on a weekend, most people would stay at home to have a big dinner with their family instead of going out. Unlike in China and Hong Kong and the Far East in general, it is not so easy for people living in the West to gather from small towns villages where they work and live.
Therefore holding a public event on the weekend nearest to the proper New Year's Day after it has just gone past is the best choice. But recently in China and Hong Kong, instead of staying at home for the whole period, some people choose to travel elsewhere from the second or the third day of the New Year.
Countries in Southeast Asia are often the most popular destinations for this New Year short break. Because of the lockdown, in members of the Newham Chinese Association are holding their Karaoke Singing classes online instead. Depending on where you live, you might have never come across the celebration of Diwali first hand.
In the UK, the most prominent public celebrations take place in London and Leicester. But what is this festival all about? Why is it so important to those who celebrate it? For Sikhs, it marks the release from prison of Guru Hargobind, along with 52 other princes, in For Jains, it marks the spiritual awakening of Bhagwan Mahavira, who was the twenty-fourth Tirthankara of Jainism.
Those celebrating Diwali also use this as a way to honour Laksmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity.
