Introduction to the Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. It falls on the first day of the first lunar month of the year and lasts for about 15 days. The Spring Festival is also known as the "Year of the Rat" or "Year of the Sheep", and is celebrated by Chinese people worldwide.History of the Spring FestivalThe origin of the Spring Festival can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty (about 3000 BC), and it has a history of more than 3000 years. In the Spring and Autumn Period, people began to calculate the time according to the solar cycle and lunar cycle, and celebrate the new year on the first day of the first lunar month. In the Qin Dynasty, the first year of the Rat became the beginning of the calendar system, and was renamed "Xin Nian" in the Han Dynasty. With the development of Chinese civilization, some nationalities in different regions also established their own festival customs, such as the "Dawu" in Gaoyang, Hebei Province, and other customs.Celebration of the Spring FestivalDuring the Spring Festival, people usually hold a series of activities, including cleaning and decorating houses, pasting couplets and couplets on doors, cutting hair, giving red envelopes (money) to children, setting off fireworks and watching dragon and lion dances. These activities symbolize happiness, wealth and good luck in the new year. In addition, people also eat dumplings, watch TV programs related to the Spring Festival and have family reunion dinners during the Spring Festival.New Year's Eve is considered as "Year End", and people usually hold grand family reunion dinners and watch TV programs related to the Spring Festival. At midnight, people set off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival. In some regions, people also eat dumplings and set off fireworks to drive away evil spirits and ghosts in the old year, so as to usher in a new year with all good things.During the Spring Festival, people usually return to their hometowns to celebrate with their families. This is because people believe that "there is no spring without family reunion". Family reunion dinner during the Spring Festival is called "Nian Ye Fan" in Chinese, which is a feast prepared by family members from all over the country. The family reunion dinner usually includes dishes that symbolize good wishes, such as fish (symbolizing both surplus and wealth), chicken (symbolizing family reunion), dumplings (symbolizing family happiness) and longevity noodles (symbolizing longevity). In addition, people also watch TV programs related to the Spring Festival with their families in their hometowns.Setting off fireworks and lighting up lights is one of the important symbols of the Spring Festival. In China, setting off fireworks and lights has a long history, which can be traced back to thousands of years ago. In ancient times, people set off fireworks and lights to scare away evil spirits and ghosts. Later, people gradually attached more significance to this custom and regarded it as a way to celebrate festivals and express happiness. During the Spring Festival, people set off fireworks and lights not only to celebrate with their families but also to drive away evil spirits and ghosts in the old year and welcome good luck in the new year. In addition, setting off fireworks also symbolizes welcoming spring and ushering in peace and happiness. Fireworks are therefore an indispensable element of Spring Festival atmosphere.Watching dragon and lion dances is one of the traditional customs of the Spring Festival. Dragons and lions are symbols of dignity and prosperity in traditional Chinese culture. During the Spring Festival, dragons and lions appear everywhere on the streets: people form troupes, dance dragon dances and lion dances according to rhythmic beats with their own skills, which is very popular among people of all ages. Watching dragon dances and lion dances not only brings happiness to people but also symbolizes that everyone will have a prosperous year in peace and happiness.Thank you for listening!
