The Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, and it is also an important time for Chinese people to reunite and worship their ancestors. Before the Spring Festival, people will carry out a series of preparations, such as cleaning the house, buying New Year's goods, pasting Spring Festival couplets, etc., to welcome the arrival of the New Year. During the Spring Festival, people will hold various celebrations, such as setting off firecrackers, watching the Spring Festival Gala, eating reunion dinners, etc., to pray for peace, smoothness, and happiness in the new year.
However, in the history of the Spring Festival, there is a forgotten legend, that is, the "festival beast". It is rumored that the festival beast is a monster in ancient China, which will come out to cause trouble during the Spring Festival every year, bringing disaster and misfortune to people. In order to drive away the festival beasts, people will hold various ceremonies and activities during the Spring Festival, such as dragon and lion dances, gongs and drums, etc., to pray for peace, smoothness and happiness in the new year. In modern society, with the improvement of people's living standards and the development of science and technology, the meaning and form of the Spring Festival are constantly changing. However, no matter how the times change, the Spring Festival is always one of the most important festivals in the hearts of Chinese people. At this time, no matter where they are, people put down their work and return home to reunite with their families and celebrate the arrival of the new year together.
Therefore, whether it is to welcome the Spring Festival or the festival beast, it is people's good wishes and prayers for the New Year. During the Spring Festival, we should cherish the time with our families, be grateful for the company of relatives and friends, and at the same time pay attention to social development and the destiny of China, and contribute to the prosperity of China. Only in this way can we truly usher in a beautiful, harmonious and happy New Year.
