The end of the year means the end of the lunar calendar. In the old society, people who owed rent and were heavily in debt had to pay their debts at this time. Chinese New Year is just like customs clearance, so it is called the Year Pass.
During my stay in People's Republic of China (PRC), there was a large-scale traffic pressure phenomenon around the Lunar New Year, namely "Spring Festival travel rush Peak". With the Spring Festival as the center, * * * about 40 days.
During the "Spring Festival travel rush Peak", a large number of migrant workers went home for the New Year. Due to the lack of transportation capacity, one ticket is hard to find, and scalping is even worse.
Migrant workers spend a month's salary to buy "sky-high tickets" in order to go home and reunite with their families for the New Year. Because it is difficult to buy tickets every year, just like going through customs every year, it is a new explanation of "year-end".
