1.From the day before befor the eve till the eve:everyone will go to the traditional flower market to visit, or buy something or buy some flowers and enjoy the mood of happiness.
2.The eve of Lunar New Year: The whole family sit around and have the "tuan nian" Dinner(means: celebrat the whole family members can sit together to have dinner after working hardly a year).
3.The first day of Lunar New Year:After getting up, the children congratulate their parents will have a whole good new year. Then parents will give their children the lucky money("hong bao", It is a red pack that is put into some money. Money is not a fixed amout, it is your pleasure. But usually parents will give more than the other.)
After the dinner, the whole family will begin the visiting of the most important relation. The kids will follow their parents to go to the relation then they will get "hong bao"from their elder(who have married) and older (who have married).
When visiting the relation, the people should take some food and some fruit(in the past, the traditional food is "zha you jiao", "zha jian dui","zha dan san", "ma ti gao", "luo bo gao"etc. The fruit is orange, Chinese orange, apple, "sha tian you", etc. But it should not be the pear--because of pear sounds seperate in Cantonese.) (now, people often take some modern food that have beautiful package to visit, because making traditional food is very hard.)
On the street, you could see a lot of people who is wearing good-looking, flash colour, and new clothing with some red packages in their hands are walking on the street--to visit their relation. Usually, the youngest and kids will go with their parents to visit, and the elder who have jobs will go to visit the most important relation, then they will have their arrangements(visit their friends, etc.).
And, visiting relation and friends will be continued till the 15th days of Lunar New Year. At the same time, "hong bao"must give till the end of the 15th days of Lunar New Year,too.("hong bao"donot need to give the 2nd time when meet again in the 15th days of Lunar New Year.)
