This day falls on Saturday, and the solar calendar is February 10, 2024. The choice of this date is not accidental, but has a deep historical and cultural background.
The Spring Festival, also known as the Lunar New Year, is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, when people believed that the arrival of a new year meant new vitality and hope. Therefore, they hold various celebrations on this day to pray for a good harvest, family harmony, and peace and security in the new year.
The customs of the Spring Festival are rich and colorful, the most well-known of which are the Spring Festival stickers, firecrackers, New Year greetings, and Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. These customs are not only interesting, but also deeply cultural.
Sticking Spring Festival couplets is one of the important customs of the Spring Festival. Spring Festival couplets are written on red paper with auspicious words and pasted on both sides of the door, implying good luck in the new year. This custom originated from the ancient "peach charm", and people believed that peach wood has the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil.
Firecrackers are also an important custom of the Spring Festival. It is said that this custom originated in ancient rituals of exorcism. It is believed that the sound of firecrackers can drive away all bad luck and bring good luck.
New Year's greetings are a way for friends and family to greet each other during the Spring Festival. This custom reflects the traditional virtues of the Chinese who value interpersonal relationships and family affection.
Eating Chinese New Year's Eve is one of the most important customs of the Spring Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a time for the whole family to get together and share a sumptuous dinner. This custom symbolizes family reunion and harmony.
In general, the Spring Festival is not only a festival, but also a carrier of culture. It carries the Chinese's love for life and expectations for the future, and also reflects the Chinese's respect and inheritance of traditional culture. On this special day, let's feel the charm of the Spring Festival and experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
However, with the development of society, some traditional Spring Festival customs are gradually disappearing. This is undoubtedly a pity, because every custom is the embodiment of a culture, and their disappearance means the disappearance of a part of the culture.
