Spring Festival

The monster Nian had enormous horns on its head. The body is covered in scales. Claws and teeth are sharp. And on New Year's Eve each year, they emerge from the ocean's deep slumber, hurting both people and animals. When everyone was prepared to leave one year, an elderly man entered the village, using red paper, candles, and flaming bamboo, drove the beast away. The ritual of pasting couplets, maintaining vigil, and setting off firecrackers started to take hold because Nian beast was terrified by the colors red, firelight, and explosion. This is the tale of how Spring Festival traditions got their start. Custom is the habit and custom, which is the result of long-term cultural accumulation and convention, and is a typical historical and cultural phenomenon. It can be said that with customs there is inheritance. Many Spring Festival traditions are still practiced today

First, the custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers comes from the legend of the New Year, which symbolizes warding off evil spirits and averting tragedy. Now some families only paste a word of "Fu". The left side of the word "Fu" is "clothing" and the right side is "a field”, which symbolizes adequate food and clothing. People today are desire to be blessed. Happiness manifests itself through peace, health, and happiness. People's aspirations and longings for a better existence are reflected in the tradition of posting "Fu." The second tradition is to eat dinner on New Year's Eve. A day of reunions is the Spring Festival. Families scattered around the world rush home during the Spring Festival to have a New Year's Eve dinner. Rich food is served for dinner on New Year's Eve, including beef, fish, and poultry as a representation of good fortune. Wearing new clothes is the third tradition. They went to get their hair cut, changed their haircuts, and made new outfits in preparation for the Spring Festival. From head to toe, the Spring Festival is a brand-new day. It greets the start of the New Year with a fresh outlook. It announces the life's boundless splendor.

All in all, in addition to being a festival, the Spring Festival serves as a significant outlet for Chinese people to relieve their emotions and meet their psychological needs. It is also the annual carnival and spiritual support of the Chinese nation.
