the first day of the new year, people in Fuqing eat Xianmian, a extra-thin noodle with two duck eggs to represent longevity. In the local language, the pronunciation of duck egg is similar to "suppress chaos", so they represent peace and stability. The second day of the new year is the day to visit and comfort the family that lost their family members last year. Thus, people cannot visit the family where nobody died last year in that day, regarding such a visit as unlucky. The Lantern Festival The main customs of the Lantern Festival include eating yuanxiao, dragon and lion dance, Shehuo, lantern riddles, stilt, boat, row, and walking on the Li Bridge. Winter Solstice Festival The most important part of the winter solstice festival is making glutinous rice balls and preparing the red-orange and ten pairs of chopsticks. The red-orange stands for blessing and the ten pairs of chopsticks stand for family reunion. People also light a pair of red candles to represent prosperity. Tomb-sweeping Day The essential part of the Qingming Festival is to offer sacrifices that are often made from paper, as well as fire incense and firecrackers in front of the tomb. After sweeping the tomb, people take some pine branches or flowers back home for good luck.
