During the dinner, the host will propose a toast, guess boxing, sing a toast, clink glasses and drink a round of wine.

During the festival, whether the guests know each other or not, they should be warmly treated when they get home. For guests, wine is the most expensive food, and killing pigs and fish is the main food for VIPs.
