China's New Year's Day is rumored to have begun in Zhuanxu, one of the three emperors, more than 3,000 years ago. The term "New Year's Day" first appeared in the poem "Jin Shu": "Zhuan Di took the first month of Meng Xia as the first month of the year, in fact, the spring of the first day of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month of the first month. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Ziyun's poem "Jieya" also recorded that "New Year's Day is the first day of the four seasons, and the first day of spring is the first day of ten thousand years".

The Spring Festival is the first traditional festival of the year for Chinese people. In the past, the Spring Festival was called "New Year's Day" because, according to the lunar calendar that has been used throughout China's history, it is the first day of the first month, the beginning of a new year.

According to records, the Chinese people have been celebrating the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years, and it was started by Yu Shun. On a day more than 2,000 years B.C., Shun became the son of heaven and led his men to worship heaven and earth.

Since then, people have taken this day as the first day of the year and considered it the first day of the first month. This is said to be the origin of the Lunar New Year, later called the Spring Festival, which was renamed the Spring Festival after the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, when China adopted the Gregorian calendar to celebrate the Chinese New Year (around late January to mid-February on the Gregorian calendar). During the Spring Festival, families put up Spring Festival couplets, post New Year's paintings, and decorate their homes.

The night before the Spring Festival is called "New Year's Eve" and is an important time for family reunions, when the whole family gathers together for a sumptuous "New Year's Eve dinner"; many people stay up all night to observe the New Year's Eve. Many people stay up all night, which is called "New Year's Eve Watch". The following day, people start to pay "New Year's Greetings" to the homes of their friends and relatives, greeting each other and wishing all the best for the new year. During the Spring Festival, traditional recreational activities such as lion dances, dragon lantern dances, rowing dry boats and stilt walking are most common.
