Why does Xiaonian fall on different days in northern and southern China?
Xiaonian (Little New Year) marks the liveliest prelude to Spring Festival. In northern China, it is celebrated on the 23rd day of the 12th month of the Chinese calendar, while in the south, it falls on the 24th. This one-day difference reflects a centuries-old tradition. From offering sweets to the Kitchen God to cleaning homes for the new year, each custom carries hopes for renewal and reunion. Traditions evolve, but the warmth remains. Join Yuanxi to experience the cultural charm of Xiaonian as the Chinese New Year draws near. #xiaonian #Yuanxi #ChineseCulture #CulturalJourney
