- Origin of the festival
The history of the Spring Festival is very long, originating from the primitive beliefs and nature worship of early humans. In ancient times, "Sui" was a tool for harvesting and sacrificial offerings, and "Nian" meant that crops were ripe. People held various sacrificial activities during the changes in natural solar terms and agricultural activities to express their worship and respect for the gods.
With the evolution of the calendar, different dynasties had different definitions of "Nian". The Xia Dynasty took January as the beginning of the year, the Shang Dynasty took December as the beginning of the year, and the Zhou Dynasty took November as the beginning of the year. It was not until the implementation of the Taichu calendar in the Han Dynasty that it was clearly stipulated that the first day of the first lunar month was the beginning of the year, forming today's Spring Festival.
- Cultural and historical significance
The significance of the Spring Festival is not only a moment for every family to reunite, but also the inheritance and promotion of Chinese culture. It reflects the Chinese people's emphasis on family and their good expectations for the New Year. In addition, the Spring Festival also has the custom of celebrating the New Year in many countries and regions in the world, which also shows the influence of Chinese culture.
