The Chinese New Year is coming soon. 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit in China. It is a folk festival that integrates blessings and disasters, celebrations, entertainment and food.
The Spring Festival has a long history. It evolved from praying for the new year and offering sacrifices in ancient times. It carries a rich historical and cultural heritage in its inheritance and development.
The Spring Festival is a day to get rid of the old and bring out the new. Although the Spring Festival falls on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the activities of the Spring Festival do not stop at the first day of the first month. From the beginning of the new year at the end of the year, people have been “busy for the new year”: offering sacrifices to the stove, sweeping the dust, buying new year’s goods, posting New Year’s reds, washing hair and bathing, decorating lanterns and festoons, etc. All these activities have a common theme, that is, “farewell”. The old welcomes the new”. The Spring Festival is a festival of joy and harmony and family reunion, and it is also a carnival and eternal spiritual pillar for people to express their yearning for happiness and freedom. The Spring Festival is also a day for relatives to worship their ancestors and pray for a new year. Sacrifice is a kind of belief activity, which is a belief activity created by human beings in ancient times to live in harmony with the heaven, earth and nature.
The Spring Festival is a festival for people to entertain and carnival. At the time of Yuan Day and New Year, firecrackers are fired, fireworks are all over the sky, and various celebration activities such as saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year reach their climax. On the morning of the first day of the new year, each family burns incense and salutes, respects the heaven and earth, and sacrifices to the ancestors, and then pays New Year greetings to the elders in turn, and then relatives and friends of the same clan congratulate each other. After the first day, a variety of colorful entertainment activities are carried out, adding a strong festive atmosphere to the Spring Festival. The warm atmosphere of the festival not only permeates every household, but also fills the streets and alleys everywhere. During this period, the city is full of lanterns, the streets are full of tourists, the bustle is extraordinary, and the grand occasion is unprecedented. The Spring Festival will not really end until after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, the Spring Festival, a grand ceremony integrating prayer, celebration and entertainment, has become the most solemn festival of the Chinese nation.
In China, the Spring Festival is the busiest and grandest festival, with endless blessings, long-lost relatives and friends, and endless delicious food. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, Yuncang and all the staff wish all friends a happy Spring Festival, all the best and a bright future.
