How to write an investigation report on the origin and customs of the Spring Festival?

Spring Festival, one of the four traditional festivals in China, is the traditional Lunar New Year. The Spring Festival is usually called "the festival of the year". Its traditional names are New Year, New Year, God, New Year, and it is also called "Chinese New Year" and "Chinese New Year" verbally.

People in China have celebrated the Spring Festival for at least 4000 years. In the folk, the Spring Festival in the old traditional sense refers to the sacrificial furnace from the 23rd or 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month in La Worship to the 19th of the first month.

History of Spring Festival

The Spring Festival evolved from praying for the New Year at the beginning of the year. In ancient times, people held sacrificial activities at the beginning of the new year when spring returned to the earth and everything revived, in order to repay the kindness of the gods and ancestors of heaven and earth, ward off evil spirits and pray for good luck at the end of the year. Although the situation of ancient sacrificial ceremonies is obscure, we can still find some ancient customs from later festivals.

For example, during the New Year's Day and the New Year in some areas of Lingnan, there are grand activities such as offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, exorcising evil spirits, accepting blessings and saving the nation, which shows the clues of the first year of ancient times. The origin and development of the Spring Festival is a process of gradual formation, subtle improvement and popularization. As an important part of China's traditional culture, Spring Festival culture bears profound Chinese cultural heritage and records the rich and colorful cultural contents of ancient people's social life.
