"years"Do you know the origin?
Chinese New Year is a traditional custom formed by the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
So, do you know the evolution of the word "year"?
Do you know the origin of the Chinese New Year?
In fact, when the ancestors used oracle bone inscriptions to create characters, the year had nothing to do with "New Year". As shown in the picture, look at the first oracle bone inscription. The shape of the character indicates a farmer walking forward with his head on his head. Nian, that is, in ancient times, means plants, grasses, and by no means the beasts of prey that later legends.
Year word. 
Later, social civilization progressed, and the ancients had the concept of time cycle. They also use the year to mean that the crops are ripe, harvested, and harvested.
And because the dealer harvests once a year, people plant in spring and store in winter, so the cycle of the four seasons is called the year.
The custom of the New Year originated in ancient times and evolved from the first sacrifice of the year.
According to historical records, China has celebrated the Spring Festival for 4,000 years. Since the beginning of the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the first month of the summer calendar (lunar calendar) is the "first year of the year", and the date of the New Year's Festival has been fixed and continued to this day, evolving into various ethnic groups, different forms, and rich and colorful New Year culture.
During the event, a story evolved from the year.
"Nian became a monster that was to be driven away by the people at night. Because the New Year is afraid of fire, sound, and red things, people use firecrackers and torches to ward off evil spirits and drive away the New Year. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, called "Chinese New Year's Eve", people have to "keep vigil," that is, to stay up late on the last night of the old year, "keeping the year", commonly known as "staying up the year".
Greeting the New Year.
20 May 2006. The Chinese New Year folk customs were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by China.
China's New Year culture has also spread abroad.
At present, the Chinese New Year is celebrated in North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, Cambodia, Mongolia, Malaysia and other Asian countries, and the atmosphere of the year is very lively. The culture is becoming more and more loved by people all over the world.
What makes the people most unhappy is that in recent years, due to the nonsense of some experts, firecrackers have not been allowed to be set off, saying that they are polluting the environment. For several years in a row, the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day was no longer heard.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it became "The Quiet Here". The town is deadly quiet.
The flavor of the year is all gone.
Firecrackers have been a folk custom since ancient times. It's not a bad habit. This is part of our Chinese culture.
I believe that no one can stop this unique Chinese tradition! Because it is the desire of the people.
Listen, there are bursts of firecrackers outside, and children setting off fireworks are laughing.
The New Year is back, and the flavor of the New Year is approaching again!
Tomorrow is the 30th year of the new year, let's have a good time!
We've been suffocated for too long!
