Why don't you sleep during the Spring Festival?

The traditional folk celebration of New Year's Eve usually begins with the New Year's Eve, from lighting lanterns to taking a seat, and lasts until late at night. The traditional Spring Festival celebration is to stay up all night until dawn the next day. As for modern times, you can sleep after 12 o'clock. During the Chinese New Year, if you are tired during the day, it is recommended to fall asleep according to the normal rest time and welcome the arrival of the New Year with a full mental state.

Observing the Lunar New Year is one of the most important folk activities in China, and the custom of observing the Lunar New Year has a long history. The earliest record can be found in the Local Records of the Western Jin Dynasty: on New Year's Eve, all parties give gifts to each other, which is called "the year of giving back"; Wine and food are invited, which is called "not old"; Young and old get together to drink and wish a complete song called "age division"; Everyone stays up all night, waiting for dawn. This is the so-called "shou sui".

In ancient times, observing the age has two meanings: the old man's observing the age means "resigning from the old", which means cherishing time; Young people keep their age in order to prolong the life of their parents.
