- **Watch Fireworks and Firecrackers**: In the evening, people set off fireworks and firecrackers to ward off evil spirits and welcome the new year.
- **Stay Up Late**: It's customary to stay up late on New Year's Eve, a practice called "守岁" (shou sui), to keep evil spirits away and ensure a long and prosperous year.
- **Red Decorations**: Red lanterns, couplets, and other red decorations are hung around the home to bring good luck and happiness.
- **Give Red Envelopes**: Older family members give red envelopes containing money, known as "hongbao" (hóngbāo), to younger family members as a symbol of good wishes and prosperity.
