According to the theory, due to the lack of scientific knowledge and low productivity, people in the past had a poor ability to withstand natural disasters, and were often disturbed by the winter cold snap, and the scarcity of food was also a cause of fear for these people. With the onset of early spring, the green and yellow harvests were even more life-threatening, with the elderly and children being the first to die from hunger, cold and a variety of other harsh factors.

This caused people to become very alarmed, suspecting that ghosts and spirits were to blame. Once this frightening period was over, people would congratulate each other. This phenomenon gradually evolved into the Spring Festival.

The "Spring Festival" originally referred to the twenty-four solar terms in the spring.
