The first month is actually our lunar January.
In fact, the first month in ancient times was also called Duan Yue, Yuan Yue, Shi Chun, Meng Chun, and Shou Yang.

The Spring Festival is not only our current holiday.
The Spring Festival actually existed in ancient China.
When the ancients celebrated the Spring Festival, they started preparing in the twelfth lunar month. They began to prepare for the New Year, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, tea, wine, oil, sauce, northern and southern nuts, sugar, candies, and fruits. Of course, they also bought new clothes for their children during this time. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, they offered sacrifices to the Kitchen God.
On the first day of the first lunar month, as the first rooster crowed or the New Year bell rang, the streets were filled with the sound of firecrackers, and every household was full of joy. A new year had begun. Men, women, the old, and the young all wore festive clothes. They first paid New Year's greetings to the elders in the family, then visited relatives and neighbors to celebrate the New Year. During the festival, there were also activities such as giving lucky money to children.
On the second day of the first lunar month, daughters who had married would return to their parents' home with their husbands and children to pay New Year's visits.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, there were some independent customs, such as sending off poverty and opening the market. During the Spring Festival, the ancients also performed rituals to the Kitchen God, wrote couplets, made tofu, cut New Year meat, kowtowed, played ball games, and watched monkeys.
The lively atmosphere of the ancient Spring Festival was not only present in every household but also filled the streets and alleys across the country. In some places, there were customs such as lion dances, dragon lanterns, folk performances, flower markets, and temple fairs. Of course, during this time, the city was filled with lanterns, and the streets were crowded with people, making it very lively and spectacular. This excitement usually lasted until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, after which the Spring Festival officially ended. On the Lantern Festival, the capital was illuminated all night long, and there were various events for lantern viewing, riddle guessing, and entertainment, celebrating together throughout the country.
