1.Denmark: Let the Dishes Hit the Floor
丹麦：摔盘子
Residents of Denmark have been known to throw dishes (don’t worry, not the good china) at their neighbor’s doors. The more broken dishes, the more good luck you are thought to have in the upcoming year!
丹麦人会在他们邻居家门口摔盘子（别担心，扔的不是好的瓷器）。盘子摔得越多，意味着你在新年里会越幸运！
2.Germany: Molten Metal Fortune-Telling
德国：熔融金属算命
Bleigieben, one of Germany’s most prized customs, is celebrated on New Year’s Day by melting a morsel of lead, dropping it into cold water, and telling fortunes from the shape it forms.
Bleigießen是德国最受欢迎的传统之一，是在新年熔化一小块铅，把它扔进冷水里，再根据它形成的形状来算命。
3.North America: Black Eyed Peas
北美：黑眼豆豆
Inspired by southern culture, many Americans celebrate the New Year by eating black eyed peas and collard greens. The pea’s “eye” represents looking into the future, and it is believed to bring good luck to those who eat them. Eating leafy greens supposedly brings money and prosperity as well.
受南方文化影响，许多美国人通过吃黑眼豌豆和羽衣甘蓝来庆祝新年。这种豆的“眼睛”代表展望未来。人们相信，吃黑眼豆豆会带来好运。人们也认为，吃绿叶蔬菜能带来钱财和富裕。
4.France: The Midnight Harvest
