In New Year's Eve ceremonies, a bell is rung at midnight and the hydrangea fragrance is used to wash away the calamity of misfortune which has accumulated in your heart throughout the year. It allows you to focus on the good things that have happened recently and tear at your heart of the hateful things that are not part of your spirit.
