The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China for the following reasons:

The Spring Festival is the traditional Lunar New Year of the Chinese cultural circle, commonly known as the "Festival of the Year", traditionally known as the New Year, the New Year, the New Year, but also known as the verbal year of the year, celebrating the New Year, the New Year, is the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation.

The Spring Festival, which originated in the Yinshang period, is one of the grandest, liveliest and most important ancient traditional festivals in China, with sacrifices to gods and ancestors at the end of the year. In Chinese folklore, the Spring Festival is traditionally celebrated from the Lunar New Year's Day festival on the eighth day of the first month of the lunar calendar or the Zao Festival on the 23rd or 24th day of the lunar month until the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar as the climax.

The traditional name for the Spring Festival is New Year, Great Year, and New Year's Day, but it is also known verbally as Dui Nian, Celebrating the New Year, and New Year's Eve. In ancient times, the Spring Festival used to refer exclusively to the beginning of spring in the solar calendar, which was also considered to be the beginning of the year, but was later changed to the beginning of the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar as the New Year. Generally at least until the fifteenth day of the first month (Shangyuan Festival) the New Year will end, the Spring Festival is commonly known as the "New Year's Festival", is the Chinese nation's most grand traditional festivals. Since the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to the first day of the first month of the summer year (lunar calendar) first" (that is, "year"), the date of the New Year's Day is thus fixed, and continues to this day. The New Year's Day was called "New Year's Day" in ancient times, and after the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, it began to use the Gregorian calendar (solar calendar) to count the years, so it was called "New Year's Day" on January 1 on the Gregorian calendar, and "Spring Festival" on the first day of the first month on the lunar calendar.

The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar was called "Spring Festival".

During the Spring Festival, the Han Chinese and some ethnic minorities in China hold a variety of activities to celebrate.

The activities of the Spring Festival are rich and colorful, with strong characteristics of each ethnic group.
