Civilization New Year's Eve handwritten newspaper poems

The date of China New Year is different in different dynasties. Xia Dynasty is January 1st, Shang Dynasty is December 1st, Zhou Dynasty is November 1st and Qin Dynasty is October 1st. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty (BC 104), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted the suggestions of Sima Qian and others, used the taichu calendar to restore the summer calendar, that is, the lunar calendar, and put the 24 solar terms into the calendar with the first month as a year. Although the later calendars were revised from generation to generation, they were still based on taichu calendar, with the first month of Meng Chun in the summer calendar as the beginning of the year, and the first day of the first month was New Year's Day and Yuan Day, that is, the first day of the New Year. After the Revolution of 1911 (19 1 1), the rule of the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and Sun Yat-sen established the government of the Republic of China in Nanjing. Representatives of provincial governors held a meeting in Nanjing to discuss the schedule. At the meeting, it was reached that "it is a summer calendar, so it is suitable for agriculture; From the Gregorian calendar, so I counted my knowledge and decided to use the Gregorian calendar. Gregorian calendar 1 was customized as "New Year", and the first day of the first lunar month was called "Spring Festival", but it was not officially named and promoted. 1 On September 27th, 949, the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference passed the Gregorian calendar law, which designated the date of Gregorian calendar1as "New Year's Day" and the first day of the first lunar month as "Spring Festival", and stipulated that the Spring Festival would be closed for three days, so that people could warmly celebrate the Lunar New Year. In the historical process of more than 2,000 years, China's Chinese New Year etiquette and customs have experienced the development process of germination, stereotypes, fission and transformation. In the pre-Qin period, the custom of Chinese New Year was in its infancy. At this time, the celebration is mainly held at the end of the "La Worship" to repay the gift of God. The Book of Songs in July records the festival customs of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The so-called "friends drink, kill lambs every day, go to court and say that they will live forever" in the poem means that people give wine and lambs to the gods to thank God for his blessing and blessing in the past year. At this time, because the vassal States adopted different calendars, there was no unified day to celebrate. This is the embryonic form of the New Year custom during the slack season in winter. The custom of Chinese New Year was formed in the Han Dynasty. After the social turmoil at the end of the Warring States Period, the policy of "rest and recuperation" was implemented in the early Western Han Dynasty, social production was restored and developed, social order was relatively stable, people's interest in life was high, and a series of holiday customs were formed. After the implementation of the taichu calendar Law, the calendar was stable for a long time, and the first day of the first month was established as the date of the New Year. In this way, the awards, sacrifices and celebrations held in different regions on different days in late winter and early spring are gradually unified on the first day of the first lunar month. With the development of society, from the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the custom of greeting the New Year on the first day of the first month became more and more fierce, and activities such as burning firecrackers, changing peach charms, drinking Tu Su wine, observing the old age and enjoying lanterns appeared, making the New Year the first big festival in China.
