The Origin of New Year's Day in China

In the pre-Qin period, the custom of Chinese New Year was in its infancy. At this time, the celebration is mainly the "La Worship" held at the end of one year's farming to repay the gift of God.

After the social turmoil at the end of the Warring States Period, the policy of "rest and recuperation" was implemented in the early Western Han Dynasty, social production was restored and developed, social order was relatively stable, people's interest in life was high, and a series of holiday customs were formed.
