Is Spring Festival Gala a custom?

Spring Festival Gala, usually called "Spring Festival Gala", is a variety show held by China CCTV every year on New Year's Eve to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

1983, it should be said that CCTV held the Spring Festival Evening by accident. But now this party has become a "new folk culture" of China people, and it is a must-see TV New Year's Eve dinner every year. From the perspective of cultural development, CCTV Spring Festival Gala initiated the first variety show on TV, which triggered a major change in the content and expression of China TV media. Its success not only stabilized its position, but also gave birth to a series of similar CCTV programs, such as Super Variety Show, Zhengda Variety Show, Qu Yuan Zatan, Spring Festival Opera Evening, Spring Festival Song and Dance Evening, Ministry Spring Festival Evening (such as the Spring Festival Evening of the Ministry of Public Security), and various holiday variety shows such as National Day, May Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day. Subsequently, local TV stations all over the country frequently followed suit and strived for innovation.

At present, variety shows have become a large-scale media cultural form. The Spring Festival Evening provides the most basic model and blueprint for the development of China TV variety culture.
