In the early days of observing images and time, "Yin Hui with a barrel handle" is the beginning of a year. "bucket handle Yin Hui" returns to the earth in spring, and everything is renewed, thus opening a new cycle. In the traditional farming society, it is of great significance to return to the earth in spring at the beginning of the year, which has spawned a large number of related festivals and customs.
In the historical development, although the calendar is different and the date of the first festival is different, its festival framework and many folk customs have been passed down. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, but generally it doesn't end until at least the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation, with a century as the first and four seasons as the first.
