The difference between New Year's Eve and Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month. Lunar December 29th or 30th is New Year's Eve.

2. The origin of festivals is different:

As a festival at the end of the year, New Year's Eve originated from the ancient custom of resigning the old year to welcome the new year and offering sacrifices to ancestors. The Spring Festival evolved from praying for the New Year at the beginning of the year. In ancient times, people held sacrificial activities at the beginning of the new year after a year of farming to report the kindness of gods and ancestors in heaven and earth and pray for a good year.

3. Different names:

The traditional names of the Spring Festival are New Year, New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, but they are also called New Year's Eve verbally to celebrate New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve. In ancient times, the Spring Festival refers to the beginning of spring in the solar terms and is also regarded as the beginning of a year. Later, it was changed to the first day of the first lunar month as the New Year.

New Year's Eve is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It refers to the night on the last day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the night before the Spring Festival. Because it often falls on the 30th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month in the summer calendar, it is also called the 30th. The last day of the year is called "New Year's Eve" and that night is called "New Year's Eve". People often stay up all night on New Year's Eve, which is called keeping watch.
