Expanded Information

The Spring Festival is commonly known as the "New Year's Day" and is traditionally known as the New Year, the Great Year, the Heavenly Lunar Festival and the New Year's Day, and is also known verbally as the New Year's Day, the Celebration of the New Year, and the New Year's Day. Chinese people have been celebrating the Spring Festival for at least 4,000 years. In folklore, the Spring Festival in the old traditional sense refers to the Lunar New Year from the Lunar New Year's Lunar Festival or Lunar New Year's 23rd or 24th sacrificial stove, until the 19th day of the first month. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first month of the Lunar Calendar, but the New Year generally does not end until at least the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lunar Calendar (Shangyuan Festival).
