The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the oldest and most solemn festival of the Chinese nation, commonly known as the New Year, New Year, and New Year’s Day, also known as the Chinese New Year, festivals, and years. The concept of Spring Festival and Year originally came from agriculture. In ancient times, people referred to the growth cycle of grains as “year”. According to “Shuowen. Hebu”, “year is the ripening of grains.” In the Xia and Shang dynasties, the Xia calendar was created, which used the cycle of the moon as the moon and divided the year into twelve months. The day when the moon was not seen was the new moon for each month, and the sub hour of the new moon in the first month was called the beginning of the year, also known as the year. The name of Nian began during the Zhou Dynasty and was not officially fixed until the Western Han Dynasty, and has continued to this day.

According to legend, “Nian” is an ancient Chinese monster that inhabits the depths of the sea for years and only climbs ashore on New Year’s Eve. People fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the Nian beast. Later, an old man told people that “Nian” is most afraid of red and flames. So, on New Year’s Eve, every family sticks red couplets, sets off firecrackers, lights up candles, and watches the clock for the new year. Early in the morning of the first day of junior high school, I still have to go on a family and friendship trip to say hello. This custom is spreading more and more widely, becoming the Spring Festival.

At the beginning, the first day of the first lunar month was not called Spring Festival in ancient times, but New Year’s Day. ”Spring Festival” is not a festival in Chinese history, but specifically refers to the “beginning of spring” in the 24 solar terms. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, “Spring Festival” generally referred to the entire spring. The concept of “Spring Festival” was gradually introduced during the Republic of China period. After the Xinhai Revolution, the Gregorian calendar was used to record the year, and the first day of the lunar month was renamed as the Spring Festival.
