The Spring Festival is an important traditional festival in China and one of the most grand festivals for the Chinese people.

In agricultural societies, spring is an important season, and people celebrate it to welcome the New Year, pray for a bountiful harvest, and worship their ancestors.
2、 The Origin and Evolution of Spring Festival
Sacrifice to Tai Sui: The earliest origin of the Spring Festival is related to the worship of Tai Sui. Tai Sui was the guardian deity of ancient Chinese agricultural society, and people believed that Tai Sui was in charge of the year’s fortunes and misfortunes. In order to pray for the blessings and blessings of Tai Sui, people hold a sacrificial ceremony on the first day of the twelfth lunar month every year to pray for peace and auspiciousness in the new year.
Drive away evil spirits and Nian beasts: Another theory is that the Spring Festival originated from the tradition of driving away evil spirits and Nian beasts. According to legend, Nian beast is a fierce monster that likes to attack villages and harm humans and animals. People discovered that Nian beasts were afraid of red, flames, and noise, so they lit torches, set off firecrackers, and wore red clothes on the first day of the twelfth lunar month every year to drive away Nian beasts and evil spirits, and protect themselves and their families.
Spring Dragon Dance: Spring Festival is also related to dragon dance. Legend has it that dragon dance originated from ancient exorcism activities. People believe that dragons are mysterious creatures with the ability to ward off evil spirits. In order to welcome the New Year, drive away evil spirits, and pray for a bountiful harvest, people will perform dragon dances on the first day of the twelfth lunar month every year to pray for blessings and celebrate.
Ancestral worship and family gatherings: The Spring Festival is also related to ancestor worship and family gatherings. Chinese people attach great importance to family and affection, and the Spring Festival is an important time for reunion. People will return to their hometowns during the Spring Festival, reunite with their families, worship their ancestors, and express respect and longing for their ancestors. This tradition of offering sacrifices and family gatherings continues to this day and has become one of the important customs during the Spring Festival.
