Families honor their ancestors through ritual offerings, ensuring their spirits are remembered and welcomed for the new year. Traditions include family gatherings, sharing symbolic foods such as dumplings, and exchanging red envelopes for good fortune. This period emphasizes family values, harmony, and hopes for prosperity in the year ahead.
