The origin of the Spring Festival:

The Spring Festival originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in the early and late ancient times, with a history of more than 4,000 years.

In ancient times, people held sacrificial activities at the beginning of the new year after the one-year-old farming ended, in order to repay the kindness of the gods and ancestors of heaven and earth, drive away evil spirits, accept blessings and pray for the new year. The early festival culture embodies the ancient people's humanistic spirit of advocating nature, the unity of man and nature, cautiously pursuing the future, and firmly thinking about the source.

In the early days of observing images and time, "Yin Hui with a barrel handle" is the beginning of a year. Spring has returned to the earth, and "Yin Hui with barrel handle" has started again, and everything has taken on a new look, thus opening a new cycle. In the traditional farming society, beginning of spring, the first year of the year, is of great significance, and a large number of festivals and customs related to it have been derived.

Legend of the Spring Festival:

Create a perpetual calendar after ten thousand years:

According to legend, a long time ago, a young man named Wannian saw that the festival was chaotic at that time and had a plan to make it accurate. Inspired by the shadow movement and the dripping spring water on the cliff, he designed a sundial and a clepsydra to measure time, so he had a perpetual calendar. It is said that the Spring Festival comes from the perpetual calendar, which was created in the evergreen year. ? [90][93]?
