Why is the Spring Festival the most traditional and grand festival of the Chinese nation?

Spring Festival, the beginning of a year, ushers in the new year, and receives blessings and welcomes the new year. As early as the Neolithic age, people discovered the law of alternating spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there was the emergence of "Year".

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's "January Day" describes the spring breeze from send warm to Tu Su. The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old. At that time, it was already a grand Spring Festival celebration.

It is not inevitable that the Spring Festival will become the biggest festival in China. Because of what? Because historically, China is an agricultural country, the festival of family reunion and blessing in the past year must have been in winter. There is also a heavyweight festival in winter, that is, the winter solstice. In fact, personally, I think that the solstice in winter is more special to ancient China.

Throughout history, we can know that the winter solstice is indeed an extremely important festival in history, even the most important. As for the Spring Festival, it is mainly because of the continuous infiltration of modern western culture. On the legal level, the state stipulates that festivals such as New Year's Day should be enforced and the Lunar New Year holiday should be cancelled. Later, the implementation was not in place, and a typical festival was specially set up to enhance their cultural confidence. After nearly a century of evolution, it has become what it is today.

With the passage of time, people have celebrated the Spring Festival in a unique way for thousands of years. From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, that is, the off-year holiday, the atmosphere of the festival has been full, from paying homage to the stove and eating sugar to sweeping the dust to putting up Spring Festival couplets and eating jiaozi on New Year's Eve until the 15th day of the first month. It shows that our family wants to be old and happy in the new year, which has become the biggest festival in China.

China is a country with a large population, and the Spring Festival is the busiest and longest holiday in a year, so no matter far or near, we will go home for reunion. In China, which values family, all family members have to go home on this day. This is the day of reunion, the day of honoring the elders, the day of ancestor worship, the day of ending last year's work and starting a new year.

In a word, the Spring Festival is the most traditional and grand festival of the Chinese nation.
