What festival is Spring Festival?

The Spring Festival in February is also known as the Spring Festival, which is a day to worship the land god in spring. It is a traditional Chinese festival. There was no fixed date in ancient times, and the dates chosen in the pre-Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties were different. Since the Song Dynasty, the fifth day after the beginning of spring has been regarded as the community day.
In ancient China, the Community Day Festival was held twice a year, divided into "Spring Community Day" and "Autumn Community Day". During the Spring Community Day, people prayed for the blessings of the community gods and a good harvest. The Autumn Festival is a day to report the good news of the harvest to the community god after the harvest to express gratitude to the community god. "She" refers to the god of land in ancient times. "Sheji" in Baihutongyi records: "People cannot stand without land and cannot eat without grain. The land is too vast to worship one by one, so the land is sealed and the gods are established." Zheng Xuan commented: "Hou Tu is She." Later, it was convenient to worship the god of land. The "Spring Festival" in February is a spring festival to worship the "God of Land" and the God of Grains. It is also called the Zhonghe Festival. According to "Guangji", "villagers make Zhonghe wine and offer sacrifices to Gumang seeds in order to pray for a good harvest." It embodies the ancient Chinese working people’s prayers for a better life.

The Spring Festival in February is also known as the Spring Festival, which is a day to worship the land god in spring. It is a traditional Chinese festival. There was no fixed date in ancient times, and the dates chosen in the pre-Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties were different. Since the Song Dynasty, the fifth day after the beginning of spring has been regarded as the community day.

About the origin of Spring Festival:

There was no fixed date for the "Spring Festival" in ancient times, and the dates were different in the pre-Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties. The "Book of Yi Zhou" says: "On the day of the spring equinox, the black bird arrives." It also says: "If the black bird does not arrive, women will not get pregnant." "When the small peach trees begin to wither, the pair of swallows arrive." The "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" describes the situation of the community sacrifice. On the day of the spring community, the surrounding neighbors gather together, hold a ceremony to worship the community god, and kill cattle and sheep to offer sacrificial wine. They set up a shed under the community tree, offer sacrifices to the gods first, and then enjoy the wine and meat used in the sacrifice together. In the Tang Dynasty, the last day of the first lunar month was abolished and the first day of the second lunar month was designated as the Zhonghe Festival. Villages and neighborhoods brewed Yichun wine to offer sacrifices to the god Gou Mang and pray for a good harvest. Since the Song Dynasty, the fifth day after the beginning of spring has been regarded as the community day. The Spring Festival is on the first day of the second lunar month. People worship the earth god and pray for a good harvest. There is a custom of drinking Zhonghe wine and Yichun wine, which are said to be able to cure ear diseases, so people also call it "deaf-curing wine." In the Song Dynasty, Li wrote in a poem: "The community elder is in a bad mood today, because he lacks a bottle of wine to cure deafness. The Jade Hall is about to be opened, and he vaguely patrols the three halls."
