2. Twenty-four solar terms are the product of ancient farming civilization, which contains a long cultural connotation and historical accumulation, and derives a large number of related seasonal cultures. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, the customs of the north and the south were different. The first day of the lunar calendar was not the first day of the first month, but beginning of spring Day with 24 solar terms in the official calendar. Major celebrations, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, accepting New Year's blessings, exorcising evil spirits, getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, are arranged at the beginning of spring and a few days before and after. This series of festivals not only constitutes the framework of the New Year's Eve Festival in later generations, but also retains its folk function to this day.
