What is the knowledge about the Spring Festival?

1. Spring Festival evolved from year-end sacrifice. In ancient times, people held sacrificial activities at the beginning of the new year after a year of farming to repay the kindness of the ancestors of the gods of heaven and earth and pray for a bumper harvest.

2. The first year of ancient folk refers to beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms of the Ganzhi calendar. In the development and evolution of history, due to the change of calendar, the date of the New Year, that is, the beginning of a year, has been adjusted.

3. After the Revolution of 1911, the calendar was gradually changed to Gregorian calendar. Later, in order to distinguish the two New Years, and considering that the beginning of spring in 24 solar terms, the official calendar, happened just before and after the Lunar New Year, it was renamed as Lunar 65438+ 10/day as the Spring Festival and Gregorian 65438+1 0/day as the New Year's Day.

4. Spring Festival is no longer a festival for Han people. Many ethnic minorities celebrate the Spring Festival, but they all have their own special laws.

Almost all 56 ethnic groups are celebrating the Spring Festival now, but many of them have integrated their own cultural elements, further enriching the cultural connotation of the Spring Festival.
