Origination of the Spring FestivalⅠ

Spring Festival (春节), also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important tradition in China. More often than not, Chinese people prefer to call it Xin Nian (新年) or Guo Nian (过年) which literally means to celebrate the Spring Festival. In the narrow sense, Spring Festival refers to the Chinese New Year’s Eve and Chinese New Year’s Day. However, broadly speaking, it stretches from Lunar December 23rd or 24th of the year to Lunar January 15th of the next year according to Chinese lunar calendar.
