The Origin of the Spring Festival The Spring Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China.
The Spring Festival has a long history, which evolved from praying for the New Year at the beginning of the year. In ancient times, people held sacrificial activities at the beginning of the new year after the end of farming at the age of one (year) to pay homage to the gods and ancestors of heaven and earth and pray for a good year. The origin of the Spring Festival contains profound cultural connotations, and it carries rich historical and cultural connotations in its inheritance and development.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, different countries have different calendars and different first years. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, October was the first year of the Qin calendar. This habit was followed in the early Han Dynasty. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, astronomers, Luo et al. made a calendar, taking the month (usually the second month after the winter month) as the first day of the first month, which is consistent with our first month today.
After several generations of development, later generations gradually improved the early calendar into the present lunar calendar. After the Revolution of 1911, the Republic of China promoted the Gregorian calendar throughout the country. In order to make a difference, it calls the traditional calendar lunar calendar, lunar calendar, old calendar or summer calendar.
Open the door and set off firecrackers.
It is a traditional custom in China to fire guns. On the first morning of the Lunar New Year, people get up at dawn. The first thing for every household is to rush to "open the door". At midnight, there was a loud noise and gunshots all over the sky, which meant opening the door and announcing the beginning of the new year. Firecrackers all over the city are ringing, symbolizing sending the old to welcome the new and receiving blessings, commonly known as "receiving the year".
Worship the elderly
One of the annual customs activities. Welcome the new year on the morning of the first day of the year and worship the "Year God". "Sui", also known as "country" and "Tai Sui", is an ancient star name. Tai sui is also the god of ancient folk beliefs. At the age of 60, the chronology of the 60-year-old cadres and branches is the running cycle, and one-year-old gods are on duty every year. In those days, the traditional duty was called "traditional duty".
