Which lunar ninth day is it during the Spring Festival in 2019?

The 2019 Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month) is the first day of the 69th lunar month.
There are nine nines in the coldest days of winter, and the 2019 Spring Festival falls on the first day of the sixth nine.

The Spring Festival is the Lunar New Year, the first day of the year, also known as: New Year, New Year, Big Year, etc. The origin of the Spring Festival can be traced back to ancient times. It evolved from the year-end prayer and sacrifice. During the Spring Festival, various New Year celebrations are held all over the country.
The first lunar month of 2019 starts from the 69th day and ends at the 99th day.
The first day of the first lunar month in 2019 is the first day of the six-nine days. Each nine is nine days, starting from the winter solstice, and lasts until the eighty-first day. When the climate becomes warmer, the nine days are over. All things revive, the earth looks vibrant, the temperature begins to rise slowly, and spring clothes replace winter clothes and come into people's sight.

What does the coldest days of winter mean?

The Nine-Nine Days, also known as the Winter Nine, is a Chinese folk solar term.
The Nine Cold Days begins from the beginning of winter in late December of the Gregorian calendar every year. There is no exact information on when the custom of nine-day cold weather originated. However, it was already popular at least during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" by Zong Yan of the Liang Dynasty, it was written: "The common people use the number of days from the winter solstice and the eighty-first day to represent the end of the cold." The nine cold days start from the day of the winter solstice, and every nine days is counted as one "nine", until the eighty-first day of the nine, when "the peach blossoms bloom" and the weather becomes warm. In fact, it is "Ninety-nine days and nineteen more, with oxen walking everywhere" - a full 90 days, counting the days in a row.
In traditional Chinese culture, nine is an extreme number, representing the concept of the largest, the most, and the longest. Nine nines, or eighty-one, is the biggest number. The ancient Chinese people believed that after 9981 days after the winter solstice, spring would definitely have arrived.

Which one counts as the Spring Festival: New Year’s Eve or the first day of the first lunar month?

The Spring Festival is on January 1st of the lunar calendar, New Year's Eve is on December 30th of the lunar calendar, and the Chinese New Year lasts from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival on January 15th of the lunar calendar.
There is also a saying that the New Year starts after Laba Festival and lasts until the beginning of the first lunar month. In other words, the New Year starts from December 8th of the previous year and ends on January 30th of the next year.
New Year's Eve is the last night of the lunar year, usually on the 30th or 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, so it is also called New Year's Eve. This day was called "Sui Chu" or "New Year's Eve" in ancient times. On New Year's Eve, not only do people clean the house inside and out, but they also put up door gods, spring couplets, new year pictures, and door cages. People change into new clothes with festive colors and patterns, and often stay up all night, commonly known as staying up all night.
The Spring Festival is commonly known as the "New Year's Festival" and was called "New Year's Day" in ancient times.
Since the first year of Emperor Wu of Han's Taichu reign, the first day of the first lunar month in the summer year (lunar calendar) has been regarded as the "beginning of the year" (i.e. "year"), and the date of the New Year's Festival has been fixed. The Republic of China began to use the Gregorian calendar (solar calendar) to count years, so January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was called "New Year's Day" and the first day of the first lunar month was called "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.
In terms of time, New Year’s Eve is the last day of the year, which is the end of the year. The first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of the year, and after the "New Year" comes the new year, so whether it is New Year's Eve or the first day of the first lunar month, it is a good day to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and welcome good fortune.
