In “Shen Qian of Kinghelm: Among Countless New Year Traditions, I Miss Wugang Most,” the author delves deeper than surface customs to uncover their historical roots:
“As a child, I never understood why we had to wake so early. Later I learned that during the Ming dynasty’s anti-invasion campaigns and the War of Resistance, soldiers from Hunan assembled at dawn on the first day of the New Year. Families prepared meals overnight so they wouldn’t march on empty stomachs. This ‘farewell feast’ became a tradition to honor those who defended the country.”

“Chen Haifeng of Kinghelm: Warm Winters in Lingnan—Human Connection and Everyday Life” captures the gentle rhythm and deepening warmth of the festival in the Lingnan region. The 1,700-year-old village culture comes alive through daily life, carrying the sights, sounds, and stories of hometown traditions. As he writes: “Seeing the lively village and the smiles of family, I suddenly understood—no matter how hard life is outside, home is always the safest harbor.”
