Custom of new year's day

When China just started celebrating New Year's Day, the customs and habits it celebrated were, of course, mostly similar to the Spring Festival, or a smaller version of the Spring Festival. Although some traditional ways of celebration are followed, such as setting off firecrackers, killing Sansheng, worshipping ghosts and gods, and worshipping ancestors, they do not occupy much important position in people's minds. In modern times, the custom of celebrating New Year's Day is simpler. Now it is more common to organize activities by groups, such as New Year's Day parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding collective activities.

The traditional way of celebrating in China lies in the people, especially in rural areas. Every new year's day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and after worshipping the gods of all parties, it is a family reunion and a meal. As for a stronger way to celebrate, I haven't seen it yet.

Yuan, which means "first"; Dan means "day"; New Year's Day means "the first day". The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the Book of Jin, but its meaning has been used for more than 4 years.

It is said that during the prosperous time of Yao and Shun in ancient times more than 4, years ago, when Emperor Yao was in power, he worked diligently for the people and did a lot of good things, which was very popular among the people. However, because his son was incompetent, he did not pass the throne of "Emperor" to his son, but to Shun, who had both moral and talent. Yao said to Shun, "You must pass on the throne in the future, and you can rest assured when I die." Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had made great contributions to the flood control. Yu also loved the people and did a lot of good things for the people like Shun, and was very popular. Later, after Yao's death, people regarded the day when Shun Di offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and the first emperor Yao as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first month "New Year's Day" or "Yuanzheng", which was the ancient New Year's Day.
