The Spring Festival, that is, the Lunar New Year, is a traditional "Chinese New Year Festival", which is called "Chinese New Year" verbally. The Spring Festival is the most solemn and lively festival among the people in China, which evolved from praying for the New Year at the beginning of ancient times. The ancient calendar in the era of Ganzhi provided a prerequisite for festivals, and primitive beliefs and sacrificial culture were important factors in the formation of festivals.

New Year's greetings are centered on offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, and are carried out in the form of activities such as bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new year, and offering sacrifices to ancestors and praying for blessings. The festive atmosphere is rich and colorful, which embodies the historical and cultural essence of Chinese civilization.

In ancient China, people had the custom of New Year. In ancient times, the New Year specifically referred to the "beginning of spring" in the official calendar. In the solar terms of beginning of spring, the transformation of Yin and Yang, the combination of Yang and sting, and the spring of everything mean the beginning of a new cycle and a new year. Later, due to the change of the calendar, the New Year usually refers to the first day of the first lunar month, which is called the Lunar New Year.

Chinese New Year has a long history. In the process of inheritance and development, some relatively fixed customs have been formed, many of which have been passed down to this day, such as sweeping dust, getting new year's goods, posting new year's red, having a reunion dinner, keeping old, giving lucky money, paying New Year's greetings, dancing dragons and lions, wandering around, offering sacrifices to ancestors, setting off firecrackers, setting off fireworks, setting annual regulations, paying New Year's greetings and so on.
