The difference between New Year's Eve and Spring Festival

New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are both Chinese New Year.

New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are both Chinese New Year. China New Year is a long festival, including many small festivals. The Spring Festival includes the first month and New Year's Eve. Chinese New Year, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and New Year's Eve all refer to the same day. The Spring Festival in a special sense refers to the first day of the New Year, that is, the first day of the Lunar New Year. New Year's Eve is the last night of the Lunar New Year, usually on the 30th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month, so it is also called New Year's Eve. The biggest difference between Spring Festival and New Year's Eve is that the time is different. New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, and Spring Festival is the first day of the new year. And the origin and evolution of the two festivals are different. New Year's Eve is a festival related to agriculture, because old cloth was demolished at the end of ancient times.
