Immediately after the bells, the first-footing begins, which means being the first person across a friend’s or neighbor’s threshold.

新年钟声一响起，大家开始互相串门。新年第一个访客（first-footing）意思是第一个到朋友或者邻居家串门的人。

The first-foot usually brings several gifts, including perhaps a coin, bread, salt, coal, or a whisky, which respectively represent financial prosperity, food, flavor, warmth, and good cheer.

第一个访客往往要携带一些礼物上门，包括像一枚硬币、面包、盐、煤炭、或者一瓶威士忌，它们各自代表着财富、食物、情趣、温暖以及喜悦。
