About the historical origin of the Spring Festival;

Spring Festival (1) is a traditional festival for people of all ethnic groups in China. /kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, the folk artist Bai wrote in his music book: "In the first month, every family celebrates the New Year, the Lantern Festival lights up, the full moon is full, flower boxes are everywhere, and firecrackers are everywhere, making people parade." This is a vivid portrayal of the first Spring Festival in history.

There are also records about the Spring Festival in Oracle bone inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, and there is a custom of celebrating the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year. However, the calendar at that time was based on "observing time", and it is still difficult to determine whether it is accurate. BC 104, the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the people of China created the taichu calendar, which clearly stipulated that the first month of the lunar calendar was the beginning of a year. Since then, the custom of the Lunar New Year has spread for more than two thousand years. It was not until the founding of New China that this festival was changed to Spring Festival after the change of AD.

The twelfth lunar month and the Spring Festival are the off-season after the "autumn harvest and winter storage". Han Zheng Xuan also said, "Let farmers rest" at the end of the year.
