Extended data:

Since the pre-Qin period, Laba Festival has been used to worship ancestors and gods and pray for good harvest and good luck. In addition to the activities of offering sacrifices to ancestors and worshipping gods, people also have to chase the epidemic on Laba Festival.

This activity originated from Nuo in ancient times (the ritual of exorcising ghosts and avoiding epidemics in ancient times). One of the prehistoric medical methods was to exorcise ghosts and treat diseases. As a witchcraft activity, Xinhua and other places in Hunan still retain the custom of beating drums to drive away epidemics in the twelfth lunar month.

The main contents of New Year greetings are to bid farewell to the old, worship ancestors, exorcise evil spirits and pray for a new year. The form is rich and colorful, lively and festive, and the annual flavor is rich, which embodies the essence of traditional culture of Chinese civilization. From1February 23rd/24th to the Lantern Festival on the 15th or 19th of the first month, this nearly one month was called "Chinese New Year" and now it is called "Spring Festival". If we start from the preparation of "New Year's Goods", we will enter a busy year from1February 15 at the end of the year.
