The evolution of Spring Festival folk culture

In the early days of observing the time, the time of the year was set according to the rotation of the stars, and "the handle of the bucket back to Yin" was the head of the year. When the "Doo Shou Hui Yin" was set, spring returned to the earth, the end was restored, everything was renewed, and a new cycle began. In traditional farming societies, the first day of spring was of great significance, and a large number of festivals and cultures related to the first day of the year were derived from it. Although different calendars have been used and different dates have been set for the first day of the year, the framework of the festival and many of its folklore have been inherited throughout history. In modern times, the Spring Festival is celebrated on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, but the New Year does not end until at least the fifteenth day of the first month. The Spring Festival is a folk festival that combines worship of gods and ancestors, praying for blessings to ward off evil spirits, reunion of family and friends, celebrations and entertainment, and food.
