What are the origins and customs of traditional culture in the Spring Festival?

1. Spring Festival refers to the traditional Lunar New Year in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, commonly known as "Chinese New Year Festival". The traditional names are New Year, New Year and New Year.

There are many opinions about the origin of Spring Festival. It is generally believed that the Spring Festival began in Yu Shun. One day more than 2000 BC, Shun became emperor and led his men to worship heaven and earth. People regard this day as the beginning of a year. It is said that this is the origin of the Lunar New Year, which was later called the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival is held on the first day of the first lunar month, but the activities of the Spring Festival are not limited to the first day of the first lunar month. Since the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, people have been "busy with Chinese New Year": cleaning the house, washing their hair and taking a bath, and preparing instruments for Chinese New Year. All these activities have the same theme, that is, "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new".

Spring Festival is also a day to pray for the New Year. The ancients said that the harvest of millet is "one year" and the harvest of grain is "big year". Such as kitchen god, door god, god of wealth, western god, well god and other gods, all enjoy human incense during the Spring Festival. People pray for more blessings in the new year.

The Spring Festival is also a time for family reunion. On New Year's Eve, the whole family get together to have a "reunion dinner". The elders give "lucky money" to the children, and the family sit around and "watch".
