On the morning of the lunar New Year"s Day，people get up very early and call on others。 The earlier one does so，the more sincere he is。 Moreover，people wear new clothes and a new cap，symbolizing that a new year has begun。

The younger generation should call on their elders first，such as the grandfather，grandmother，father and mother，wishing them "Good health" and "Long life"。 Then the elders give children some money in a red envelope as a New Year gift。 After that，people call on their relatives，friends and neighbors。 As "big tangerine" is a homonym for "very lucky" in Chinese，so people often present red big tangerines as a gift while paying a New Year call。

Nowadays，besides greeting cards，people also use telephones and e-mails to pay New Year calls。
