The word "New Year's Day" first appeared in the "Book of Jin": "Emperor Zhuan took the first month of Mengxia as the Yuan Dynasty, which is actually the spring of New Year's Day in Zhengshuo". During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Ziyun's poem "Jie Ya" in the Southern Dynasty also recorded that "New Year's Day for all four seasons, early spring for longevity".

The Spring Festival is the first traditional festival of the year for Chinese people. In the past, the Spring Festival was called "New Year" because according to the lunar calendar that has been used throughout Chinese history, this day falls on the first day of the first lunar month and is the beginning of the new year. According to records, the Chinese people have celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years. It was started by Yu Shun. One day more than 2,000 BC, Shun ascended the throne as emperor and led his men to worship heaven and earth. From then on, people regarded this day as the beginning of the year and the first day of the first lunar month. It is said that this is the origin of the Lunar New Year, which was later called the Spring Festival. After the Revolution of 1911, China adopted the Gregorian calendar, and the Lunar New Year was renamed "Spring Festival" (approximately between late January and mid-February in the Gregorian calendar). During the Spring Festival, every family puts up Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, and decorates their homes. The night before the Spring Festival is called "New Year's Eve", which is an important moment for family reunion. The whole family gathers together to have a sumptuous "New Year's Eve dinner"; many people stay up all night, which is called "staying up late". The next day, everyone began to go to the homes of relatives and friends to "pay New Year greetings" to each other and wish all the best in the new year. During the Spring Festival, the most common traditional entertainment activities are lion dance, dragon lantern dance, land boat rowing and stilt walking.
