Legend about New Year's Day:According to legend, China's New Year's Day originated from Zhuanxu, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and has a history of more than 5,000 years. Legend has it that during the prosperous era of Yao and Shun more than 4,000 years ago, Yao was diligent in his work and did many good things for the people, and was loved by the people. However, because his son was not talented and not very capable, he did not pass the leadership of the "tribal alliance" to his son, but passed it to Shun, who was both virtuous and talented. Yao said to Shun, “You must pass the throne well in the future, so that I can rest in peace after my death.” Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had made great contributions to flood control. Yu, like Shun, was close to the people and did many good things for the people, and was very loved. Later, people regarded the day when Emperor Shun offered sacrifices to the heaven and earth and the former Emperor Yao after Yao's death as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day", or "Yuan Zheng", which was the ancient New Year's Day.The emperors of all dynasties held celebrations, ceremonies and prayer activities on New Year's Day, such as offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, writing couplets on door doors, writing the word "Fu", and dancing with dragon lanterns. The people also gradually formed entertainment and celebration activities such as offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, pasting spring couplets, setting off firecrackers, staying up all night, eating reunion dinners, and numerous "community fire" activities. Xin Lan, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, once wrote a poem titled "Yuan Zheng": "Yuan Zheng marks the beginning of the New Year's Day, and Jiaqing begins from here. Everyone plays the wine cup to celebrate the longevity of the Chinese New Year, and everyone is happy and joyful." It describes the New Year's Day celebration scene. |
