What is the cultural connotation of the Spring Festival?

Some cultural connotations of the Spring Festival are New Year greetings, opening doors and setting off firecrackers, fasting day, gathering wealth, opening a new year (fasting day), Children's Day and New Year greetings.

The Spring Festival is the biggest traditional folk festival in China, and it is a folk festival integrating blessing, entertainment and food.

Local custom in the Western Jin Dynasty: "On New Year's Eve, when you don't sleep, you are called Shounian." However, the customs of Spring Festival vary from place to place. For example, eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival in the north is said to be related to Zhang Zhongjing. In the south of China, the history of eating mash during the Spring Festival is longer.

In the past, people kept New Year's Eve and divided the wine into new wine, usually rice wine, also called mash wine or fermented wine, instead of the old white dry wine.

Spring Festival is the product of farming civilization, which has a strong historical and cultural connotation. In the era of agricultural civilization, spring planting in summer and autumn harvesting in winter storage, year after year, year after year.

People's life is very slow. After hard work, they occasionally get together for a feast in small festivals. Even on the occasion of harvest, especially on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year (referring to the first day of the Lunar New Year), the ancestors who worship the heavens and the earth, in addition to holding cups and talking about mulberry and hemp, are one year old with firecrackers, summing up the past, actively planning for the coming year and looking forward to the future. The plan of the year lies in spring, and the New Year is celebrated in Naji.

Festivals at that time were more festive and human. Festivals in cities are not as good as those in the countryside now. One of the reasons may be that after urbanization, the pace of people's life and work is fast, and everyone lacks the simple human touch of the past. In addition, the urban landscape is far from the rural scenery in the era of agricultural civilization and the residential buildings with "four entrances and five patios".
