China New Year is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. How did it originate?

Spring Festival is also called Lunar New Year, commonly known as "Chinese New Year" and "Chinese New Year". The Spring Festival symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hope for the future. According to records, the people of China have celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years, which was initiated by Yu Shun. One day more than two thousand years BC, Shun became emperor and led his men to worship heaven and earth. Since then, people have regarded this day as the beginning of a year, that is, the first day of the first month. It is said that this is the origin of the Lunar New Year, which was later called the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival used to be called New Year's Day. The month in which the Spring Festival is held is called January.

The first day of the first month is called Yuanri, Chen Yuan, Jacky, Yuanshuo and New Year's Day. From the first year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the first month of the summer year (the lunar calendar) was regarded as the year (that is, the year), and the date of the annual festival was fixed, which has continued to this day. New Year's Day was called "New Year's Day" in ancient times. After the Revolution of 1911, 19 1 1 adopted the Gregorian calendar to calculate the year, so it was called "New Year's Day" on the Gregorian calendar 1 and "Spring Festival" on the first day of the first lunar month. The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20th, 2006, the folk custom of "Spring Festival" was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
