Year is subject to migraine headaches and the din will send him back to the mountains. When morning comes, everyone congratulates everyone else on not having become Year's midnight snack. Then the gods are venerated and the younger members of the family show their respect for the older generation by turning down their CD players and bowing. The family then visits an incense-filled temple and goes to see friends and relatives to deliver a New Year's greeting. As the New Year progresses, the rituals continue.
Some people scatter rice in the field for the affair.
On the fourth day, the gods, who have been on vacation in the other world for the New Year, return to earth. They are welcomed back with firecrackers and offerings of spirit money. The welcome ceremonies often take place at the end of the day, since no one wants to offend a god who might be getting back a little late. On the sixth day, spectacular lion and dragon dances begin. The seventh day is the anniversary of the creation of mankind and is marked by a seven-dish dinner and the lighting of seven candles.
