The Origin of China New Year

In the pre-Qin period, the New Year custom was in its infancy. At this time, the celebration is mainly the "La Worship" held at the end of one year's farming to repay the gift of God.

New Year's custom was shaped in the Han Dynasty. After the social turmoil in the Warring States and the end of the Qin Dynasty, the policy of "rest and recuperation" was implemented in the early Western Han Dynasty, and social production was restored and developed, social order was relatively stable, people's interest in life was high, and a series of holiday customs were formed.

Spring Festival, one of the four traditional festivals in China, is the traditional Lunar New Year. The Spring Festival is commonly known as the "Festival of the Year". Its traditional names are New Year, New Year, Tianla and New Year, and it is also called "Celebrating the New Year" and "Chinese New Year" verbally.
