After the previous blogpost about CNY folktales, today will be on wacky CNY practices.
This news segment was taken from Taiwan, where people rush into the temple at the stroke of midnight to plant the first pair of jossstick into the urn for the year, as it is believed that the first will be blessed with good luck.
But ironic as it seems, due to the large number of people, and the limited place in the urn to hold joss sticks, temple staff would usually pull out the joss stick immediate after people plant them in, to make space for other people.
How did your CNY go? let us know through a comment below!
