Sense of ritual
As a child, Lunar New Year was filled with rituals that stretched on forever: visiting flower markets on the first day, returning to Mom’s hometown on the second, sleeping in without guilt on the third, welcoming deities and appeasing spirits on the fourth, and opening shop on the fifth in hopes of great fortune.
