The Shanxi people prepare for and celebrate the Spring Festival in their own special way: cleaning houses, bathing and shaving, dressing up in new clothes, cooking flower cakes, pasting Gate-Gods and New Year Paintings, making window papercuts, writing Spring Couplets, offering sacrifices to various gods and ancestors. And these, of course, are all done with sincere wishes for good fortunes in the coming year.
