The annual example sprouted from the ancient sacrifices in Lingnan. Chronological culture has a long history and no basis in history. Age culture represents a belief and a blessing. Some people think that Nian Shi culture is based on Mrs. Xian's culture and Leizhou's culture, maintained by clan culture, influenced by sorghum culture, Pan Maoming culture, belief in gods and ancestor worship, and constantly developed and supplemented by multicultural and indigenous cultures brought about by many times of southward migration in history.
The New Year is a traditional way for people in western Guangdong to celebrate the New Year. The annual cases are prevalent in Jianjiang, Luojiang and Leizhou Peninsula in western Guangdong, mainly in Maoming and Zhanjiang. From the second day of the first lunar month to the end of February, each village has its own calendar day with different dates, mainly during the Spring Festival. Generally, the date of a year is one day, and some are one to three days. In some places, there are years after March of the lunar calendar, which are called "the year of returning to autumn". Traditional annual activities include: start year, regular year and end year.

Year preparation:
Generally, the hosting center of the festival is in temples, towns and ancestral halls, organized by natural villages or clans, and also organized by relevant local departments. Taking the "social environment" of the land god as a unit, the expenses are generally organized by the clan or the village lampstand owner (the male owner of He Dingdeng's family), the year owner, the village elders, or the village head, according to the population (that is, how many people in a family, including babies and the elderly, are charged according to the number of men in some villages before or now), commonly known as "population money".
Any activity needs funds, and the year-end is no exception, and money is also needed. After receiving the money, according to the traditional customs of the village or the new needs of the villagers, arrange manpower and contact performers, such as lion dance team, Taoist priest and troupe.
In traditional customs, the lantern-bearer (the male head of the He Dingdeng family) must be the head of that year (there are usually many people in the village who are responsible for the celebration of middle-aged cases), but some villages have fewer lantern festivals in those years, or even no lantern festivals. In order to hold the festival smoothly, the festival head is separated from the lamp holder, and it is decided by drawing lots. The lamp holder only cares about which top lamp; Gradually, some villages take the year as the first year, and some villages take the year as the lamp holder.
On the New Year's Day, most people who go out will return to their original villages for the New Year's Day. Most villages have only one year, and only a few villages have two or three days of annual festivals.
The annual process is divided into asking God at the beginning of the year, worshipping God in normal years and offering sacrifices to ghosts at the end of the year.
