When is the Lunar New Year?

The Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month.

The Spring Festival in China is on the first day of the first lunar month. In ancient times, the Spring Festival refers to the beginning of spring in the solar terms and is also regarded as the beginning of a year. Later, it was changed to the first day of the first lunar month as the New Year. Generally speaking, it doesn't end until the fifteenth day of the first month (Shangyuan Festival), but among the people, the traditional Spring Festival refers to the sacrifice of stoves from La Worship on the 23rd or 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the 19th of the first month. With the passage of time, people began to regard the first day of the New Year as the Spring Festival.

Spring Festival, that is, the China Lunar New Year, is commonly known as "Spring Festival", "Chinese New Year" and "Chinese New Year", and also known as "Chinese New Year" and "Chinese New Year". It is a folk festival integrating the old with the new, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, praying for evil spirits, reuniting relatives and friends, celebrating entertainment and eating. The name "Spring Festival", which is celebrated on the first day of the first lunar month, did not exist in ancient times (it was generally called China New Year and New Year Festival in ancient times), but was created by the government of the Republic of China.
