The origin of the Spring Festival is very short. What is the word 10?

Origin of the Spring Festival: The Spring Festival originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors at the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The Spring Festival is the grandest, most lively and most important ancient traditional festival in China. In China, the traditional Spring Festival refers to the sacrificial ceremony from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th of the first lunar month in La Worship, with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month as the climax.

During the Spring Festival, Han people and some ethnic minorities in China will hold various activities to celebrate. The main contents of these activities are offering sacrifices to ancestors, paying homage to ancestors, saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year, and praying for a bumper harvest.
