The Spring Festival has a long history, which evolved from praying for the New Year at the beginning of the year in ancient times. Everything is based on the sky, and people are based on their ancestors. It is also the opposite to pray for the ancestors who worship the sky. The origin of the Spring Festival contains profound cultural connotations, and it carries rich historical and cultural connotations in its inheritance and development.

Customs of the Spring Festival:

1, do new year's goods

China's annual custom culture has a long history, and all kinds of Chinese New Year customs originate from all parts of the country, and the north and the south have their own characteristics. Although customs vary from place to place, it is almost a "must-have" for Chinese New Year to prepare new year's goods and send new year's gifts all over the country. Buying new year's goods, including food, clothing, clothes, use, stickers (New Year's Eve) and gifts, are collectively called "New Year's Goods", and the process of buying new year's goods is called "Buying New Year's Goods". Celebrating the Spring Festival is an important activity for China people.

Step 2 sacrifice the stove

On December 23/24 of the lunar calendar, the stove is sacrificed. The folk sacrificial furnace originated from the ancient custom of worshipping fire. "Ming Shi": "Kitchen. Make it, create food. " Kitchen God's duty is to take charge of the kitchen fire and manage the diet. Later, it was expanded to investigate human good and evil to reduce good and evil. Sacrificing to the Kitchen God has a history of thousands of years in China, and the belief in the Kitchen God is a reflection of China people's dream of "adequate food and clothing".

Seasonal food

Jiaozi, formerly known as "jiaozi", has a tradition of eating jiaozi on New Year's Eve in the north, but the customs of eating jiaozi vary from place to place. Some places eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve, and some places eat jiaozi on New Year's Day. Northerners who don't eat jiaozi for 30 nights will feel that there is no atmosphere for the New Year. Some mountainous areas in the north also have the custom of eating jiaozi every morning from the first day to the fifth day.

Eating jiaozi is a unique way for people to express their wish for good luck when they bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. From 1 1 in the evening to 1 the next morning, "intersection" is the moment when the new year and the old year intersect. Jiaozi means getting married at an older age, and eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival is considered a great luck.
