The real origin of the Spring Festival

Spring Festival is the "year" said by the older generation, which originated from agriculture. In ancient times, people called the growth cycle of the valley "year". Another legend is that Nian is a beast that kills people in villages, so people will set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and this custom eventually evolved into the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival originated from agricultural culture. Legend has it that there was a monster named Nian in ancient China, which was fierce and unusual.

The Spring Festival originally originated from agricultural culture. In China's ancient books, the word "Nian" was put into the Grain Department, indicating that the weather is favorable and the crops are abundant. Because cereal crops are usually harvested once a year. "Year" is extended to the name of the year. The summer calendar appeared in the Xia and Shang dynasties, and the full moon is the month, so a year is divided into twelve months, and the day when the moon is full is the new moon. The first month is called the beginning of a year, and the beginning of a year, also known as the year, continues to this day. The Northern and Southern Dynasties generally referred to the Spring Festival as the whole spring. However, it was not until the Revolution of 1911 that the Lunar New Year was officially named Spring Festival. Because the solar calendar was used at that time, and in order to distinguish between rural and rural areas, the first day of the first lunar month was renamed as "Spring Festival". The Spring Festival is the first year of the year. Another name for the Spring Festival is China New Year. It is a grand, lively and important ancient traditional festival in China, and it is also a unique festival for China people.

There is a legend that there was a monster named Nian in ancient China, and it was very fierce. Nian climbed ashore on New Year's Eve every year, hurting people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast. This custom has spread more and more widely, and has become the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China.
