China's major traditional festivals are the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and so on.

China's New Year's Day is rumored to have started in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, more than 3,000 years ago. The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the "Book of Jin": "Zhuan Di to the first month of Meng Xia for the yuan, in fact, the spring of the first day of the first month of the first month of the spring" of the poem. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Ziyun's poem "Jieya" also has the record of "New Year's Day of the Four Seasons, the first spring day of the ten thousand years of life".

The Spring Festival is the first traditional festival of the year for Chinese people. In the past, the Spring Festival was called "New Year's Day" because, according to the lunar calendar that has been used throughout Chinese history, it is the first day of the first month, which is the beginning of a new year. According to records, the Chinese people have been celebrating the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years, and it was started by Yu Shun. On a day more than 2,000 years B.C., Shun became the son of heaven and led his men to worship heaven and earth. Since then, this day has been regarded as the first day of the year and is considered the first day of the first month. This is said to be the origin of the Lunar New Year, later called the Spring Festival, which was renamed the Spring Festival after the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, when China adopted the Gregorian calendar to celebrate the Chinese New Year (which falls between late January and mid-February on the Gregorian calendar). During the Spring Festival, families put up Spring Festival couplets, post New Year's paintings, and decorate their homes. The night before the Spring Festival is called "New Year's Eve" and is an important time for family reunions, when the whole family gathers for a sumptuous "New Year's Eve Dinner"; many people stay up all night to "observe the New Year". The following day, people start to pay "New Year's Greetings" to the homes of their friends and relatives, greeting each other and wishing all the best for the new year. During the Spring Festival, traditional recreational activities such as lion dances, dragon lantern dances, rowing dry boats, and stilt walking are most common.

The 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the Night of the Yuan, and the Festival of Lights. It is the first full moon night after the Spring Festival. According to legend, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (179-157 years ago) celebrated the Zhou Bo in the first month of the fifteenth to calm the chaos of Zhu Lu, every night, must go out of the palace to play with the people, and the first month of the fifteenth as the Lantern Festival. Sima Qian created the Taichu Calendar, which listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. Since the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, the festival has been very popular. Sui Shu?

When with the changes in society and the times, the Lantern Festival customs and habits have long had greater changes, but is still a traditional Chinese folk festival. During the Lantern Festival, it is customary to eat Lanterns and watch lanterns. Lanterns are made of glutinous rice flour, covered with fruit and sugar filling, and are round in shape, symbolizing "reunion".

Question 8: Which of our country's major festivals customs and ins and outs Spring Festival In ancient China, the Spring Festival was once exclusively referred to the twenty-four seasons in the spring, which was also regarded as the beginning of the year. Later it was changed to the beginning of the first day of the first month of the summer calendar (the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar) as the beginning of the year. From the Ming Dynasty onwards, the New Year festivities generally did not end until after the 15th day of the first month (Lantern Festival), and in some places the New Year celebrations even lasted until the end of the entire first month. The Spring Festival has been selected as China's largest festival by the Chinese World Records Association. It ranks as the first of China's three major traditional festivals: the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the founding of the Republic of China, the Republic of China *** abolished the traditional lunar calendar (lunar calendar, which is actually a yin-yang calendar) in favor of the European Gregorian calendar (solar calendar), and tried to prohibit the people from celebrating the Lunar New Year, but it was unsuccessful due to the insistence of the people. During Yuan Shikai's rule, January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was designated as New Year's Day, and the first day of the first month of the Lunar Calendar was designated as the Spring Festival, but the people continued to celebrate New Year's Day, and writers continued to call it New Year's Day. The term "Spring Festival" is used to refer to the Lunar New Year. The word "Spring Festival" is really popular or in 1949 after the establishment of the Chinese people **** and the country, the lunar New Year is now also known as the lunar year, the old calendar year. Japan's lunar calendar Tenpo shirk chic Laos after the new Meiji 6 years (1873) January 1, stopped using the solar calendar, the original lunar calendar will be called the old penalty for the people's celebrations are also only in the Western calendar from the first three days of the national holiday, although, the Japanese people are still in accordance with the traditional custom of New Year's Eve, only to change the date of New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve traditions changed to the new year of the Gregorian calendar to be carried out, but the former Ryukyu Kingdom territories in Okinawa and Amami Islands and other regions of the New Year, but also in the old calendar. However, Okinawa Prefecture, the former territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Amami Islands still celebrate the old New Year's Day. In Korea and Vietnam, which are also influenced by Chinese culture, even though the official calendar has been changed to the Western calendar, the Lunar New Year is still celebrated both officially and in the private sector. New Year's Day in ancient China was not celebrated on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, which is the common calendar today. From the Yin Dynasty, when the first day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar was set as the first day of the year, to the Han Dynasty, when the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar was set as the first day of the year, there were a number of changes back and forth. To the Republic of China Sun Yat-sen in early January 1912 in Nanjing, assumed the office of the provisional president for the "Shun Nongshi", "will statistics", set the first day of the first month of the Lunar Calendar for the Spring Festival, the change in the calendar on January 1, known as the first day of the year "New Year! The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar was designated as the Spring Festival, and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar was changed to the first day of the year "New Year's Day", which was still called "New Year's Day". It was not until after the liberation that the Central People's Government promulgated the "Measures for National Holidays on New Year's Festivals and Commemorative Days", stipulating January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day and deciding that the whole country should take a day's holiday for the holiday. At the same time, in order to distinguish between the two New Years on the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar, and in view of the fact that the first day of the first month of the Lunar New Year falls around the time of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the first month of the Lunar New Year is called the "Spring Festival".

There is also a legend that more than 4,000 years ago, in the ancient times of Yao and Shun, Yao Tian Zi reigned diligently for the people to do a lot of good things for the people, very much loved by the people, but because of his son's talent is not too successful, he did not pass the throne of the "son of heaven" to his own son, but to Shun, who was a person of character, virtue, and talent.

Later, people regarded the day when Emperor Shun offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and the late Emperor Yao after Yao's death as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first month of the lunar year "New Year's Day" or "Yuanzheng", which was the New Year's Day in ancient times.
