Tatana's Chinese New Year tradition

I would like to share the near extinct Tatana's custom on Chinese New Year celebration.

Dusun Tatana Chinese New Year custom

This is the things that needed to begin the celebration. This must be done before the CNY. Prayer will be held at noon, evening at 7 and lastly the next day at 3am. Before the prayer, we have to shape or roll the money paper for dead. After the prayer, we will burn the money and light up the fireworks. For those who had shotgun will fire it at the same time. This custom is held to call to ancestor to eat with us. After all the procedure, we will eat the food. This mean we eat with them. From what i study, most of the Tatana had forget this including me but i learned this customs when i have time. We Tatana have different custom and tradition than the normal Dusun. Don't be shame to join this custom. Religion is what you believe but custom is what you are.
