Are the Spring Festival and New Year's Eve the same day?

People at this time are called New Year's Eve, which means "New Year's Eve". Due to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar, "New Year's Day" on the first day of the first month was moved to be synonymous with the Gregorian New Year. In addition, after the 1960s, political factors such as advocating "breaking the old and establishing the new" and "breaking superstition" gradually diluted the ranking of that year. In recent years, the words New Year's Eve and Spring Festival have been printed on some desk calendars, wall calendars and calendars respectively. However, in terms of public media and publicity, 2008 and Spring Festival are confused.

Simply put, the generalized Spring Festival includes Chinese New Year and New Year's Eve; China New Year, China New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve are all on the same day. New Year's Eve refers to the night of Lunar New Year's Eve, which is also the New Year's Eve in China. The Spring Festival in a special sense refers to the first day of the New Year, that is, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

According to relevant information, New Year's Eve is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It refers to the night on the last day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the night before the Spring Festival. Because it often falls on the 30th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month in the summer calendar, it is also called the 30th. The last day of the year is called "New Year's Eve" and that night is called "New Year's Eve". People often stay up all night on New Year's Eve, which is called keeping watch. Su Shi has "Shousui": "Children are strong and don't sleep, and they are happy at night. For more exciting content, please pay attention to the weather calendar channel. " On New Year's Eve, people should not only clean their homes and outside, but also put up door gods, Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures and hanging door cages. People put on new clothes with festive colors and patterns. Spring Festival, that is, Lunar New Year, is usually called China New Year.

Due to the close connection between Spring Festival and New Year's Day and the needs of the times, people gradually combine these two traditional festivals into one. As far as time is concerned, Chinese New Year is the last day of the year, that is, the end of the year. Spring Festival is the beginning of a year, and the first day of the lunar calendar is the first day of spring every year, so it is called Spring Festival, telling people that from this day on, spring has arrived and a new year has begun.
