Spring Festival, commonly known as the New Year Festival, is the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation. Since the first year of the Taichu period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the first month of the summer year (lunar calendar) has been fixed and continues to this day. New year's Day was called New Year's day in ancient times, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar was called the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival has a long history, broad and profound characteristics.
New year's Day is also a day for family reunion and ancestor worship. On New Year's Eve, the whole family get together and have a reunion dinner. It's rare for the family to meet each other for a year. The Spring Festival and new year's Eve are the best traditional festivals to promote the feelings of the family. The family is harmonious. The elders give red envelopes to the children and the family is old together. At 12 p.m., firecrackers rang, and there were many activities to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. All families burn incense, worship their ancestors, celebrate the arrival of the festival with relatives and friends, and respect heaven and earth. After the new year, they began to visit relatives and friends and send gifts to each other to celebrate the new year. New year's Day is a festival for the people to enjoy themselves and entertain themselves. After the first day, a variety of rich festival activities and various competition activities were carried out one after another. Such as lion dance, dragon lantern dance, etc. Passed from generation to generation, perfect inheritance.
However, the first day of the first month in ancient times was called New Year's day. Until the victory of the revolution of 1911 in modern Chinese history, in order to comply with the lunar calendar and facilitate statistics, the Nanjing interim government stipulated that the summer calendar should be used among the people, and the Gregorian calendar should be implemented in government organs, factories, mines, schools and organizations. The first day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar should be regarded as new year's day, commonly known as the Gregorian year. The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is usually around the beginning of spring, Therefore, the beginning of the first month of the lunar calendar must be the Spring Festival, commonly known as the lunar year. The customs of the Spring Festival include pasting Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, window flowers, New Year pictures, hanging thousands, setting heaven and earth tables, keeping the year old, shooting bamboo, eating New Year's Eve dinner, receiving gods, stepping on worship, offering sacrifices to ancestors, sending the God of wealth, drinking Tu Su wine, the next year's dinner, and the Spring Festival Gala. The Spring Festival is one of the important traditional cultures of the Chinese nation. We should carry forward the excellent traditional culture and promote the development of Chinese culture. We hope that the Spring Festival can be inherited, developed and expanded
