The origin of the Spring Festival is within 150 words. . . .

The first day of the first lunar month is the Spring Festival, also known as the lunar year, commonly known as "Chinese New Year". This is an ancient traditional festival with the longest, grandest and most lively folk history in China. In ancient times, there was a monster who went down the mountain for thirty nights to eat people. Later, people found that Nian was afraid of fire, noise and red, so they set off firecrackers and posted red couplets on that day. On the morning of the first day, people congratulate their relatives and friends: "Happy New Year!" "

The original intention of the concepts of Spring Festival and New Year comes from agriculture. The Spring Festival has a long history for the Chinese nation, with a history of thousands of years. The origin of "Spring Festival" is closely related to agricultural production. In the Neolithic Age, our ancestors discovered the law of alternating seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter according to the growth cycle of crops, which resulted in the concept of "year". The Xia calendar came into being in Xia and Shang Dynasties. The moon's profit and loss cycle is one month, and a year is divided into twelve months. Every month, the day when the moon can't be seen is the new moon, and the first day of the first month is called the beginning of the year.
