The Spring Festival in a specific sense refers to the first day of the Lunar New Year. In other words, before midnight on the 30th is New Year's Eve, and after midnight is the Spring Festival. The traditional, folk, real "New Year" starts from the La Festival on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or the Kitchen God Festival on the twenty-third or twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and ends on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with "The Second Day of the Second Month of the Second Month of the Dragon Raising its Head", with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month as the climax. Because the Spring Festival and the New Year are closely connected, and due to the needs of the times, people gradually combined these two traditional festivals into one.What to do on New Year's Eve1. Staying up on New Year's Eve is one of the most important traditional activities during the Chinese New Year, and the custom of staying up has a long history. The custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve is mainly manifested in the lights being kept on all night. Staying up all night is called "lighting lanterns to illuminate the coming year", that is, lanterns are lit everywhere on New Year's Eve. Candles are lit in all the houses, and candles are specially lit under the bed, which is called "lighting up the waste". It is said that after lighting the year in this way, the family will be wealthy in the coming year. 2. Ancestor worship: This custom was very popular in ancient times. Due to different customs in different places, the forms of ancestor worship are also different. Some people go to the wild to worship their ancestors' tombs, some go to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, and most of them place the ancestral tablets in the main hall at home, display offerings, and then the worshipers burn incense and kneel down in order of seniority. 3. Setting off firecrackers There is a saying among the Chinese people that “setting off firecrackers when the door is opened”. When the new year comes, the first thing every household does when they open the door is to set off firecrackers, using the sound of firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new. |
