The Origin of the Spring Festival (Introduction to English Version)

1949 On September 27th, New China was founded. At the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference, the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar era was adopted, and the Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 was designated as New Year's Day, commonly known as the Gregorian calendar year. The first day of the first lunar month is usually around beginning of spring, so the first day of the first lunar month is designated as the Spring Festival, commonly known as the Lunar New Year.

In the traditional sense, the Spring Festival refers to the festival from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month as the climax.
