1. Family Reunion Dinner: 团圆饭 (tuányuán fàn). On 除夕, families gather together to have a big dinner, also known as the "reunion dinner". This is an important tradition as it symbolizes unity and harmony within the family.
2. Cleaning and Decorating: 扫房子 (sǎo fángzi). Before 除夕, families will thoroughly clean their homes to sweep away any bad luck from the previous year and make room for good luck in the new year. They will also decorate their homes with red lanterns, couplets, and other traditional decorations.
3. Setting off Fireworks: 放烟火 (fàng yānhuǒ). Fireworks are a common sight on 除夕, as they are believed to scare away evil spirits and bring good luck for the new year.
4. Watching the New Year's Gala: 春节联欢晚会 (chūnjié liánhuān wǎnhuì). The New Year's Gala is a variety show broadcasted on 除夕, featuring traditional Chinese performances such as lion dances, dragon dances, and acrobatics. It is a popular activity for families to watch together.
5. Giving Red Envelopes: 发红包 (fā hóngbāo). Red envelopes, also known as "lucky money", are given to children and unmarried adults on 除夕 as a symbol of good luck and blessings for the new year.
6. Staying Up Late: 守岁 (shǒusuì). It is believed that staying up late on 除夕 will bring longevity to one's parents, so many families will stay up until midnight to welcome the new year.
7. Making Dumplings: 包饺子 (bāo jiǎozi). Making dumplings is a popular activity on 除夕, as the shape of the dumplings resembles ancient Chinese currency and symbolizes wealth and prosperity for the new year.
