According to the search of some information,I learn that in Shanxi,people are not allowed to talk at dinner on NewYear's Eve,in order to prevent “leakage of money”; in Guangdong,people don't pay attention to the amount of money inside the red envelope,they think the most important thing is that the red envelope represents a blessing.

Glutinous rice has an important symbolic significance in Chinese culture. In addition to being a food, its stickiness has also been extended to the field of architecture, symbolizing the firmness and durability of buildings. In some places, the use of glutinous rice mortar is also combined with local folk customs and cultural traditions, such as the custom of repairing ancient buildings with glutinous rice mortar during the Dragon Boat Festival in some places to pray for the robustness and safety of the buildings.
Because of its excellent adhesion and durability, glutinous rice mortar is widely used in the construction of city walls, mausoleums, pagodas and other large buildings. For example, the Great Wall, Nanjing Ming City Wall and other historical buildings have used glutinous rice mortar as a bonding material, these buildings are still standing, showing the powerful effect of glutinous rice mortar
I come from Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province. In Huai 'an, I have a famous dish called Huaiyang cuisine. The cultural value of Huaiyang cuisine is reflected in its profound historical and cultural background and extensive geographical influence. As one of the four major cuisines in China, Huaiyang cuisine originated in Yangzhou and Huai 'an, with a long history and rich cultural connotations. Huaiyang cuisine is not only a kind of food culture, but also the embodiment of cultural elements such as Yangzhou historical celebrities, qinqi calligraphy and painting, Yangzhou school and Yangzhou salt merchants.
During the Spring Festival, in addition to the explicit customs such as posting spring couplets, setting off firecrackers and having the New Year's Eve dinner, there are also implicit emotional connotations such as the beautiful expectations for the new year, the longing for family reunion and happiness, and the sacrifice and gratitude to ancestors.
Paper Cuttings is widely spread among Chinese people. Its patterns are mostly related to folk customs, such as the "fu" character cut during the Spring Festival and window decorations. The word 'fu' is pasted upside down, symbolizing 'blessings have arrived'. This is a unique expression of folk culture, reflecting people's prayers for a better life. The production process of Paper Cuttings also contains the patience of Chinese people and the spirit of inheriting traditional skills. From conceptualizing patterns to meticulously crafting with scissors or knives, every step requires manual completion and is often passed down from generation to generation by elders.
In my hometown, Yan Mian(腌面) are a traditional food of our Hakkas. Getting up every morning with a bowl of hot Yan Mian and a bowl of fresh Sanjidi soup(三及第汤) is a memory of Hakka people in Meizhou from childhood to adulthood. Maybe you have never heard of Meizhou or tasted Yan Mian, but because of this, pickled noodles and the Hakka culture behind them are green bananas.
