It is the grandest, most lively and important ancient traditional festival in China. In Chinese folk, the traditional Spring Festival refers to the period 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 to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month as the climax.During the Spring Festival, China's Han ethnic group and some ethnic minorities hold various activities to celebrate. The main contents of these activities are to worship ancestral gods, pay tribute to ancestors, get rid of the old and welcome the new, welcome the new year and pray for a good harvest. The activities during the Spring Festival are rich and colorful, with strong ethnic characteristics. Influenced by Chinese culture, some countries and ethnic groups belonging to the Chinese character cultural circle also have the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival. The New Year’s Day is also a day for offering sacrifices and praying for a good harvest. The ancients called the ripening of millet a "year" and a bumper harvest of grains a "great year". In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, there were already annual activities to celebrate the harvest. Later, offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for a good harvest became one of the main contents of the New Year customs. Moreover, various gods such as the Kitchen God, Door God, God of Wealth, God of Joy, God of Wells, etc., are all worshipped by people during the New Year holidays. People use this to thank the gods for their care in the past and pray for more blessings in the new year. The New Year's Day is also a time for family reunions, family gatherings and ancestor worship. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family gathers together, eats the “family reunion dinner”, the elders distribute “lucky money” to the children, and the whole family sits together to “stay up all night”. At the beginning of the new year on the first day of the lunar year, firecrackers are set off, and the activities of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new year reach their climax. Each family burns incense to pay tribute to heaven and earth and to their ancestors, then greets their elders in turn, and then congratulates each other with relatives and friends. After the New Year's Day, people start visiting relatives and friends and giving each other gifts to celebrate the New Year. The New Year is also a festival for people to have fun and have fun. After the New Year's Day, various colorful entertainment activities are carried out: lion performances, dragon lantern dances, yangko dances, stilt walking, juggling performances, etc., adding a strong festive atmosphere to the Spring Festival. At this time, it is around the "Start of Spring". In ancient times, a grand ceremony to welcome the spring was held, and people would whip the ox to welcome the spring and pray for good weather and a good harvest. Various social activities reach a climax again on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. |
