Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were called Chen Yuan, Yuan Ri, Fuehrer and Sui Dynasty. In the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was called New Year's Day, Yuan, New Year's Day, Xinzheng and New Coin. In the Qing Dynasty, it was always called New Year's Day or Yuan Day.
After the Revolution of 1911 (19 1 1), the Gregorian calendar was adopted, so it was called New Year's Day on the Gregorian calendar 1 and the first day of the first lunar month was called Spring Festival.
Due to attaching great importance to intangible cultural heritage, on May 20th, 2006, the folk custom of Spring Festival was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage list.
Spring Festival is also called lunar calendar, commonly known as Chinese New Year and New Year. The Spring Festival symbolizes unity and prosperity, and it is a festival that places new hopes on the future.
Through the introduction of the first day of the first month, we can know that the first day of the first month is the Spring Festival. This is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also often called the Lunar New Year. Customs on the first day of the first month: paste chicken.
In ancient times, people painted chickens on doors and windows during the Spring Festival to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. The pheasant on Dushuo Mountain mentioned above was mentioned in Xuanzhongji of Jin Dynasty, saying that it had just risen, and when the first ray of sunshine shone on this big tree, the pheasant crowed.
When it crows, chickens all over the world crow with it. Therefore, the chicken cut during the Spring Festival is actually a symbol of pheasant. However, in ancient mythology, there is another saying that a chicken is a deformed bird.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Yao, friends on the other side paid tribute to a bird that could ward off evil spirits. Everyone welcomes the bird's arrival, but the tribute messenger doesn't come every year, so people carve a wooden bird, cast it in bronze and put it on the door, or draw it on the doors and windows to scare away monsters and make them afraid to come again. Because this bird looks like a chicken, it will gradually draw a chicken or cut window flowers and stick them on the doors and windows, which will become the source of paper-cutting art in later generations.
In ancient China, chickens received special attention, calling them birds with five virtues. Han Shi Zhuan says that it has a crown on its head and is a virtue; There is a distance behind the feet to fight, which is martial arts; It is brave for the enemy to dare to fight before; There is food to greet the same kind is benevolence; Vigilance and dawn are beliefs.
Therefore, people not only cut chickens during the Chinese New Year, but also set the first day of the New Year as Chicken Day.
