"If you move the knife and scissors in the New Year, it is difficult to avoid all the quarrels and wrongdoings." During the Chinese New Year, Sichuan people avoid moving knives and scissors, seeing as knives and scissors are too sharp and can easily hurt people making them bleed which brings very bad luck to the person.
The northern part of Jinbei is rich in coal mines, so lighting a fire is a special custom during the Spring Festival in the region. On New Year's Eve and the Lantern Festival, a tower-like fire is built in front of every family compound with large pieces of coal for good luck and to wish for prosperity and good fortune throughout the year.
Every year the people in Kunming can see mountains of sugarcane piled up in the farmer's market, and there is an endless stream of people coming to buy sugarcane. After comparing and choosing, people will buy two canes and carry them home.
At twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve, people put two sugarcane roots upwards behind the door of their houses, which means "turning over the top", signifying that the year will be sweet from the beginning to the end, and that the two sugarcane roots represent good things coming together.
