question 4: what do people often do during the spring festival? The original meaning of the concepts of Spring Festival and Year comes from agriculture. In ancient times, people called the growth cycle of the valley "Year". Hebe: "Year, the grain is ripe.". In the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Xia calendar came into being, with the moon's full and short period as the month, and a year divided into twelve months. Every month, the day when the moon is not seen is the new moon, and the first day of the first month is called the beginning of the year, which is also called the year. The name of the year began in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was officially fixed in the Western Han Dynasty and continued until today. However, the first day of the first month in ancient times was called "New Year's Day". Until the victory of the Revolution of 1911 in modern China, in order to conform to the farming season and facilitate statistics, Nanjing Temporary * * stipulated that the summer calendar should be used among the people, and the Gregorian calendar should be implemented in * * * organs, factories, mines, schools and organizations, with January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as New Year's Day and the first day of the first lunar month as the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival is coming, which means that spring is coming, Vientiane is reviving, and the new sowing and harvesting season is about to start. People have just passed the long winter when the plants and trees are dying in the ice and snow, and they have long been looking forward to the day when spring blooms. When the new year comes, it is natural to welcome this festival with joy and singing.

On September 27th, 1949, New China was founded. At the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference, it was adopted to use the Gregorian calendar era which is commonly used in the world, and the first day of January of the Gregorian calendar was designated as New Year's Day, commonly known as the Gregorian calendar year. The first day of the first lunar month is usually around beginning of spring, so the first day of the first lunar month is designated as "Chu Festival", commonly known as the lunar year.

In the traditional sense, the Spring Festival refers to the sacrificial rites from La Worship on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month as * * *. During the Spring Festival, a traditional festival, the Han nationality and most ethnic minorities in our country have to hold various celebration activities. Most of these activities are mainly about offering sacrifices to gods and buddhas, paying homage to ancestors, getting rid of the old and spreading the new, welcoming the new year and praying for a good harvest. The forms of activities are rich and colorful, with strong national characteristics.

One of the legends of the Spring Festival: Keeping up with the New Year

Keeping up with the New Year is the custom of not sleeping on the last night of the old year and staying up late to welcome the new year. It is also called keeping up with the New Year's Eve, and its common name is "Keeping up with the New Year". Exploring the origin of this custom, there is an interesting story circulating among the people:

In Archaean, there was a fierce monster scattered in the mountains and forests, and people called them "Nian". Its appearance is ferocious, its nature is ferocious, and it specializes in eating birds and animals and insects. It changes its taste every day, from kowtowing insects to living people, which makes people talk about "Nian". Later, people gradually mastered the activity law of "Nian", which is to go to places where people live in concentrated communities every 365 days to taste fresh food, and the haunting time is after dark, and when the cock crows at dawn, they return to the mountains.

Having determined the date when the Year of the Year raged, the people regarded this terrible night as a gateway, which was called the Year of the Year, and came up with a whole set of ways to close the New Year's Day: every household cooked dinner in advance on this night, turned off the fire and cleaned the stove, then tied up all the cowshed, sealed the front and rear doors of the house, and hid in the house to eat the New Year's Eve. In addition to asking the whole family to dine together to show harmony and reunion, it is also necessary to offer sacrifices to ancestors before eating, pray for the blessing of ancestors, and spend the night safely. After dinner, no one dares to sleep and sit together to chat and be courageous. It gradually formed the habit of staying up on New Year's Eve.

The custom of observing the age rose in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and many scholars in the Liang Dynasty had poems about observing the age. "One night is even two years old, and the five hours are divided into two years." People light candles or oil lamps and keep vigil all night, symbolizing driving away all evil diseases and looking forward to good luck in the new year. This custom has been passed down from generation to generation.

Legend No.2 of the Spring Festival: The theory of establishing calendar in ten thousand years

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a young man named ten thousand years, and when he saw that the festivals were chaotic at that time, he had a plan to make them accurate. But he couldn't find a way to calculate the time. One day, he was tired of chopping wood on the mountain and sat in the shade of a tree. The movement of the shadow inspired him. He designed a sundial to measure the time of the day. Later, the dripping spring on the cliff inspired him, and he began to make a five-layer leaky pot to calculate the time. Over time, he found that every three hundred and sixty days, the four seasons would cycle once, and the length of the weather would be repeated.

At that time, the monarch was called Zu Yi, and he was often troubled by the unpredictable weather. After ten thousand years of knowing it, he took the sundial and the clepsydra to see the emperor and explained to Zu Yi the truth of the movement of the sun and the moon. After hearing this, Zu Yi was very happy and felt reasonable. So I left Wan Nian, built the Sun and Moon Pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven, and built a sundial platform and a drain ... > >

question 5: what will people do during the spring festival? Time is like a never-ending river, passing by people in a hurry and quietly. Unconsciously, a memorable 26 hurried away, ushered in a new year and began another journey for people.

on new year's eve, I fell asleep with firecrackers to welcome the new year. “Happy new year！” The next morning, with a New Year greeting, I opened my eyes looking for 25. Open the calendar, open a new year and open a wonderful story. I lay in bed and thought about my past year. I had sweat, happiness and sadness. All this happened as if it were right in front of us. I couldn't help laughing softly.

In the past, I was not an excellent student in my class. I envied those class cadres. They study well and have many friends. I long to be like them. So, I began to move towards the locked door. I pay twice as much sweat as others. In class, I listen carefully and speak actively. After class, when my friends are playing happily on the playground, I read quietly in the classroom. After class, I finish the homework assigned by the teacher on time and carefully, and try my best to be accurate. I also signed up for the school lecture class according to my hobbies. Finally, everything comes to him who waits, and my sweat has been harvested. My academic performance has improved. In an election in the new semester, I was honored to be elected monitor by my classmates. Since then, in order to live up to the expectations of teachers, classmates and parents, I have studied harder. Now, I have been the squadron leader of the school, and all this requires the help and encouragement of teachers, classmates and parents. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, I sincerely wish them all the best.

We bid farewell to the old year and entered a new year. There seems to be a new runway in front of my eyes. Maybe I will fall down on this runway, but I will still stand up stubbornly and challenge all kinds of difficulties. I firmly believe that there will always be a beautiful rainbow after the storm.

At this moment, crackling firecrackers rang out of the window again, which is people's reluctant to bid farewell to the old year and their beautiful longing for the New Year.
