The Origin and Customs of Spring Festival
Spring Festival, Lunar New Year, is the beginning of a year.

The Spring Festival has a long history, which evolved from praying for the New Year at the beginning of the year in ancient times. In ancient times, people began to pray and sacrifice to heaven and earth at the end of each year to ensure the good weather and the health and safety of their loved ones in the coming year. People began a "busy year" in La Worship or sacrificial stoves on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year didn't end until the 19th of the first month. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, but it generally doesn't end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month (Lantern Festival).

The origin of the Spring Festival contains profound cultural connotations, and it carries rich historical and cultural connotations in its inheritance and development. The customs of the Spring Festival include buying new year's goods, offering sacrifices to stoves, sweeping dust, putting up Spring Festival couplets, putting up New Year's pictures, stick grilles, New Year's Eve dinner, keeping old, lucky money and so on.
