Before the Spring Festival is not a holiday, what does it mean before that?

Headed by Hundred Festivals, the Spring Festival is also the Lunar New Year, the beginning of a year, and the traditional "festival of the year". Commonly known as Spring Festival, New Year, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve and so on. It is also known verbally as New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve.

The term "Spring Festival" in the history of China actually does not refer to festivals, but specifically refers to "beginning of spring" in the 24 solar terms. It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that the word "Spring Festival" generally referred to the whole spring. Today's New Year's Day is not called Spring Festival in ancient times, but called New Year's Day.

The concepts of Spring Festival and New Year originated from agriculture. In ancient times, people called the growth cycle of the valley "year". The Xia and Shang Dynasties produced the Xia calendar, in which the cycle of the moon was one month and a year was divided into twelve months. Every month, the day when the moon can't be seen is the new moon (that is, the first day of each month in the lunar calendar), and the first day of the first month is called the beginning of a year, also known as the year. The name of Nian began in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was not formally fixed until the Western Han Dynasty, and it continues to this day.

In ancient times, the first day of the first month was called New Year's Day, Yuanri, Chen Yuan, Jacky and Yuanshuo. The Spring Festival in the history of China refers to the beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms; During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Spring Festival generally refers to the whole spring.

It was not until the Republic of China that the Spring Festival was designated as the first day of the first lunar month.
