The grand traditional festival-Spring Festival, the first day of the first lunar month, is the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation-Spring Festival, which lasted from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to today. In ancient times, this day was called New Year's Day, January 1st or "Sanyuan" (year, month and yen). After the Revolution of 1911, China began to adopt the solar calendar. In order to distinguish the lunar calendar from the solar calendar, the lunar year is changed to the Spring Festival, and the solar year is regarded as New Year's Day. Firecrackers will be set off early in the morning on New Year's Day. Firecrackers are a sign to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su. The ancients baked bamboo joints in the fire to make them crackle, which was used to fight the epidemic and drive away sores. This is the origin of firecrackers. Since the Song Dynasty, paper has been wrapped in sulfur and ignited with fire, which is called an explosive fighting array. During the Spring Festival, an important activity is to go to relatives and friends' homes and neighbors' homes to celebrate the Spring Festival, formerly known as New Year greetings. The Spring Festival is the festival with the strongest joyful atmosphere. Traditionally, in the streets and public places, artists performed rap, acrobatics and various dramas, which were very lively. 2. Traditional Dietary Culture The traditional dietary customs of China people are mainly plant-based foods. The staple food is grain, supplemented by vegetables, plus a small amount of meat. The main reason for this custom is that agricultural production is the main mode of economic production in the Central Plains. Hot food and cooked food are the main features of China people's eating habits. This is related to the early civilization and the development of cooking technology in China. The ancients in China thought: "Those who live in water are fishy, ashamed of their meat, and herbivores taste." Hot food and cooked food can "kill fishy smell, deodorize and deodorize". China people's diet has always been famous for its extensive recipes and exquisite cooking skills. In terms of diet, China people also have their own characteristics, that is, the multi-food system. The origin of food collection system is very early. From the excavation of many underground cultural relics, it can be seen that the ancient cooking room and food gathering place are unified. The cooking room is in the middle of the house, with smoke from the skylight above and a bonfire below. When cooking on the fire, diners gather around the fire. This ancient custom of gathering food continued into later generations. The long-term spread of the food-gathering system is the embodiment of China's emphasis on consanguinity and family concept in his diet. Today, the significance of China people's reunion is also a reflection of this concept. 3. Costume culture In the Qing Dynasty, men's costumes were mainly robes and mandarin jackets, which were the most popular in the late Kangxi and Yongzheng periods. In the Qing Dynasty, women's clothing and Manchu-Chinese clothing coexisted. There are more and more styles and varieties of women's dresses in Qing Dynasty, such as vests, skirts, coats, cloud shoulders, scarves and hand cages. From the 1920s to the end of the 1940s, China Cheongsam was popular for more than 20 years, and its style changed several times, which changed the old appearance of women in China for a long time, and fully displayed the posture and curves of women. Later, cheongsam also spread abroad for women in other countries to wear. China's traditional culture is really rich and colorful, and it is constantly developing and changing, which deserves our further understanding.
