Had a "stomach bursting" reunion dinner last night, like what my grandma loves to say, must "饱年饱节"
The first day of Lunar New Year is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity and good luck for them. Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family. The second day of the Chinese New Year is for married daughters to visit their birth parents. The third and fourth day of the Chinese New Year are generally inappropriate days to visit relatives and friends.
