Political party background

From 65438 to 0983, the TV industry in China entered a relatively stable and rapid development stage. The rapid development and popularization of TV provides technical premise and guarantee for the emergence of Spring Festival Evening.

At that time, at the beginning of reform and opening up, people's material life gradually improved, but cultural life was always lacking, access to information was less, and entertainment methods were relatively simple.

Based on this, CCTV explained such a grand cultural event as the Spring Festival to the people of the whole country by TV, and presented a beautiful cultural feast for the people of the whole country.

The culture carried by the programs in the Spring Festival Evening reflects the common aspiration of all China people for joy, peace and happiness, and meets the needs of the audience. CCTV chose the special day of New Year's Eve to hold a festival party celebrating the whole country, and naturally took "unity", "joy" and "peace" as its unchanging theme.
