What are the customs of New Year's Day in China?
Originally, Chinese New Year was the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. In ancient times, it was the day when people celebrated Emperor Shun's sacrifice to heaven and earth and honored the former emperor Yao. Throughout history, dynasties held celebrations and rituals on New Year's Day, such as worshiping various deities and ancestors, writing door couplets and hanging spring couplets, writing "Fu" characters, dragon dancing, and folk activities gradually formed such as worshipping Buddha and ancestors, pasting spring couplets, setting off firecrackers, staying up late, having a reunion dinner, and many other entertainment activities called "Shehuo." On September 27, 1949, the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference decided that China would adopt the Western calendar for commemoration, and since then, January 1st of the Gregorian calendar has become China's New Year's Day. China is the twelfth country in the world to start the new year.
