When did the tradition of keeping the New Year's Eve in China rise?

The Spring Festival has always been the most important festival in the minds of China people, because it is not only the annual reunion day for every family in China, but also a unique festival belonging to China people. As one of the four traditional festivals in China, the Spring Festival naturally has its rich and interesting historical origins. Especially on New Year's Eve, people in China know that there is a tradition of keeping New Year's Eve. So when did the tradition of celebrating the 30 th anniversary rise? Any special allusions? As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a record of observing the age in the Book of Songs, which shows that the traditional history of observing the age on New Year's Eve is very long. Eating New Year's Eve dinner was recorded in detail in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. According to records, people in China keep New Year's Eve to resist Nian beast. The story of this year's god beast is like this: in ancient times, there was a god beast named? Year? Every 30 nights in a year, it will run out to destroy fields and hurt human beings. In order to avoid it, every family will hide at home on New Year's Eve. After a long time, no one has seen Nian beast. Everyone felt safe, so they let their guard down. As a result, on New Year's Eve, animals came out to attack people and fields. This time, unsuspecting human beings were startled, but suddenly Nian beast was scared away by the sound of firecrackers lit by several children, so people knew that Nian beast was afraid of the sound of firecrackers. Since then, people have set off firecrackers every New Year's Eve, and this tradition has continued to this day. The above is the origin of the tradition of observing the age. Knowing the origin of observing the old age, we still have some things to pay attention to on New Year's Eve, which is the taboo on New Year's Eve. Traditionally, we can't say bad things on New Year's Eve, because China people think that if we hear bad things on New Year's Eve, we will be unlucky until the new year begins. Also, you can't take medicine on New Year's Eve. Taking medicine means getting sick, but we should try to avoid taking medicine on New Year's Eve to make a good start for the new year.
