"The Spring Festival - the Chinese people's social practice of celebrating the traditional New Year" has been included in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, which is of great significance for spreading the excellent traditional culture of China and promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. As the most important traditional festival of the Chinese people, the Spring Festival is not only a time for people to participate in and periodically celebrate the traditional New Year, but also embodies the historical memory, cultural concepts and spiritual values of the Chinese nation, connects the past and future, tradition and modern, and actively inherits the Chinese civilization. The Spring Festival is a "living history". As the life culture of Chinese people, the Spring Festival has been constantly updated. From the ancient "harvest festival" to the wax festival in the pre Qin period, the ancestor worship and New Year worship in the Han Dynasty, to the Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival in the Tang and Song Dynasties, as well as the Spring Festival couplets, dumplings and New Year's money in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the celebration of the Spring Festival has been expanding and enriching. The Spring Festival originated from ancient Chinese culture. The original meaning of "year" is the maturity of the five grains, and the periodic ritual activities of celebrating the harvest of the five grains and offering sacrifices to ancestors become a symbol of the annual transition. From literature, it can be seen that the rituals and customs of the pre Qin period, such as the "Great Drinking Festival" in October, the "Three Days After the Winter Solstice to Worship the Hundred Gods", the New Year's "Princes' Court Ceremony to the King", the January "Emperor's Prayer for Grain on the Yuan Day to the God", and "Ting Liao", can be considered as early forms of the Spring Festival. In the first year of the Taichu era of the Western Han Dynasty (104 BC), the government designated the beginning of the first lunar month as the beginning of the new year, and thus established the time for celebrating the traditional New Year for over two thousand years. The Book of Tian Guan in the Records of the Grand Historian states: "On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the people will graduate at the end of the year" and "On the first day of the first lunar month, the king will be at the beginning of the year". This means that the beginning of the first lunar month is only the official New Year, while in folk culture, the twelfth day is considered the New Year. From the "Four People's Monthly Ordinances", it can be seen that the official New Year of the Han Dynasty had fully integrated with the folk New Year. The folk also bowed to their wives and honored their ancestors on the first day of the lunar new year. "Sons, daughters, grandchildren, and elders each served pepper wine to their parents, called cups to celebrate their birthdays, and were filled with joy and happiness." They also had to "pay tribute to the emperor, teachers, former generals, ancestors, brothers, friends, relatives, and elders of the local party. At this time, the Spring Festival has formed a form mainly consisting of ancestor worship, family reunion, and New Year greetings. According to documents such as "Records of the Customs and Customs" and "Annals of Jingchu", the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period created more diverse ways of celebrating the New Year. Such as setting off firecrackers in front of the court, burning grass, staying overnight for New Year's Eve meals, guarding the New Year's Eve, "making peach boards to decorate households", posting painted chickens and door gods, drinking pepper and cypress wine, Tu Su wine, peach soup, eating glue tooth noodles, five spice plates, eggs, and ghost pills, "cutting ribbons to become a person, or carving gold sheets to become a person, pasting screens, and wearing temples", as well as playing games such as tug of war, playing ball, and swinging on swings. During the Tang and Song dynasties, most of the above-mentioned festival customs were inherited, and new forms of festival culture were also innovated in urban areas. First, the Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Lantern Festival has become the most eye-catching hot spot. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the main festival customs of Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) were the gate of the ancestral temple and welcoming Zigu. In the Sui Dynasty, there was a phenomenon of "watching the night on the first month, filling the streets and blocking the streets, and gathering friends to play"; In the early Tang Dynasty, watching lanterns became the new custom of the city's Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival. During the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the city Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival was even more lively. Not only was it "colorful on the light mountain, glittering with gold and jade, beautiful and beautiful", but also there were many songs and dances. The second reason is the prosperity of commerce during the New Year holiday period. Before the Chinese New Year, the market was booming with the sale of various sizes of door gods, peach charms, Zhong Kui, Suanni, tiger heads, as well as golden thread flowers and spring banners. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, neighbors sang along the door with food, animal tools, combs, collars, satin, flowers, toys, and other items called Guan Pu. The Ming and Qing dynasties were another peak of innovation and development in Spring Festival culture, forming the Spring Festival cultural system that continues to this day. At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, people start to be busy with activities such as worshiping the stove, sweeping dust, pasting window decorations, hanging New Year paintings, killing New Year pigs, making tofu, making rice cakes, etc. On New Year's Eve, every household sticks couplets, hangs money, hangs door gods, screens, and inserts sesame straw to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner, sets off firecrackers, and observes the New Year, welcoming the arrival of the new year. On the first day of the lunar new year, regardless of wealth or social status, people eat white flour as a corner. They wear new clothes, pay New Year's greetings to each other, and express their blessings and expectations for the new year. On the second day of the lunar new year, offerings are made to the God of Wealth, and firecrackers are set off day and night. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, it is called "Po Wu" and businesses open for business. Since then, there have been street walking, temple fairs and other activities in both urban and rural areas, "beating the Taiping Drum without twilight, dancing hundred rope without childishness, wearing masks to play big headed monks, and gathering to watch without men and women". Folk performances such as dragon lantern, dragon lion dance, walking on stilts, roller coaster running, and singing have been popular all the time until the Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival "lights off". The development history of the Spring Festival over the past two thousand years is not only recorded in the cultural history of classics, but also a living history that has been shared by the people for thousands of years. It is a dynamic way of inheriting Chinese civilization. The Spring Festival embodies a stable spirit. The traditional way of celebrating the Spring Festival has constantly evolved and innovated in historical development. Painting chickens, peach boards, and peach symbols evolved into Spring Festival couplets; Pre court firecrackers and grass burning have evolved into firecrackers and fireworks; The typical festival diet has evolved from pepper and cypress wine, Tusu wine, peach soup, five spice dishes, eggs to lactose dumplings, leek cakes, dumplings, Spring rolls, Mixed meat hot-pot. The way of paying New Year's greetings is also changing, from the Han Dynasty's face-to-face "greeting" to the Ming and Qing Dynasties' emergence of "exchanging greetings with inscriptions", sending children to congratulate on behalf of others, and "receiving blessings". Some festive customs and objects have disappeared, such as "cutting the ribbon for people" on the seventh day of the lunar new year, "creating beautiful scenery to leave behind", and "selling ignorance" in the Song Dynasty; New customs and festive items continue to emerge, such as "Po Wu", red envelopes, red lanterns, and Chinese knots. The Spring Festival culture has both variability and stability, with little change in its spiritual values such as family reunion, social harmony, blessings for good fortune, and renewal of all things over thousands of years. These stable spiritual traditions are integrated into the periodic practice of the New Year folk rituals, providing the Chinese with a sense of cultural identity. Firstly, family reunion. The Chinese people attach great importance to the family reunion ceremony for the New Year. It is a custom for the whole family to have dinner together on the New Year's Eve all over the country. Before dinner, the whole family kowtows to the ancestors' statues, and generally does not send the gods after the sacrifice, which means "inviting the ancestors to spend the New Year at home". In the Chinese concept, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are the time for family reunion. "On the first day of the New Year, we don't communicate with each other", let alone eat at the home of relatives and friends. The Spring Festival is not only a reunion of family members, but also a reunion with ancestors. It not only contains the Chinese ethics of valuing family ties and families, but also implies the Chinese unique understanding of the continuity of life and the meaning of individual life. The annual ritualistic New Year's Eve dinner repeatedly reinforces the most fundamental ethical and life values of the Chinese nation. Secondly, social harmony. Festivals are an important way of social interaction. According to the "Four People's Monthly Orders", during the Han Dynasty, it was customary to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the local party. For the function of bringing social harmony through New Year greetings, "Sui Hua Yi Yu" wrote: "When people ask for debts, they may argue with creditors at dawn, even resorting to violence. On the New Year's Day journey, they will greet each other with 'congratulations', and there will be no grudges in a moment." The Spring Festival is a wise social system design that promotes social unity. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, collective activities such as community fires, temple fairs, and lantern festivals have been held throughout the country during the Spring Festival. During the "threshold" period of Chinese New Year, people participating in these collective activities together are more likely to surpass their daily identity limitations and move towards integration and unity. Thirdly, pray for blessings and good fortune. If we classify the traditional New Year customs and festive items, there are two main categories: one is to ward off evil spirits, such as "firecrackers, burning grass to clear mountains and ward off evil spirits", taking ghost pills, drinking Tu Su wine, inserting peach charms, pasting door gods, etc; Another type is to pray for blessings and good fortune, such as pasting couplets, setting off fireworks, hanging red lanterns, tying Chinese knots, and pasting the word "fu" upside down to symbolize good fortune. Eating fish at the New Year's Eve dinner symbolizes abundance every year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "eating millet cake, called New Year's cake", eating dumplings symbolizes wealth and smooth sailing, and eating persimmons and oranges symbolizes "good luck in all things". Before the Song Dynasty, the customs and customs of the Chinese New Year were mainly aimed at dispelling evil spirits; After the Song Dynasty, especially since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, festivals and customs were mainly focused on praying for blessings and receiving good fortune. For example, the "Yanjing Suishi Ji" mentioned hall flowers (peonies paired with kumquats, symbolizing wealth and prosperity throughout the hall), money shaking trees, red tickets (colored paper to write money exchange posts, "taking their beautiful and auspicious meanings"), hanging a thousand (red paper with auspicious words stuck in front of the door), stepping on the New Year's Eve (scattering sesame and hemp straw at the entrance of the house on New Year's Eve, symbolizing "sesame flowers blooming and festival height"), welcoming the God of Joy, and so on. The concept of praying for blessings and receiving good fortune contained in the Chinese New Year and its cultural expression are important components of the auspicious culture of the Chinese nation, such as Spring Festival couplets and Chinese knots, which have become one of the iconic symbols of Chinese culture. Fourthly, everything is updated. Chinese New Year means bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. Although all the years are the same in terms of physical time, the Chinese people believe that the New Year means a new beginning. Before the New Year, I had to have a haircut, take a shower, clean my house, and decorate my windows. On the morning of New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival couplets, door money, and door gods are replaced. Not only should new Spring Festival couplets be posted on households and doors, but also on chicken pens, pigsties, and cattle and horse pens, a new "Six Animal Safety" horizontal bar or "Blessing" character should be posted. At the beginning of the new year, even though the common people are poor, they still need new and clean clothes. In the Chinese folk custom knowledge system, fireworks, "Breaking Five", Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) and other ceremonies are all for welcoming the New Year. The concept of welcoming the new year seems insipid, but it actually contains the tenacious and optimistic social and cultural psychology of the Chinese people, that is, no matter how hard the days are, they all look forward to the New Year as a turning point and the beginning of a better future. The contemporary inheritance and innovation of Spring Festival culture. The key to any culture's continuity and sustained recognition in the long river of history lies in its stable cultural core. The stable cultural core of the Spring Festival lies in its spiritual traditions and closely related cultural forms, such as core festival customs such as New Year's Eve dinner, New Year greetings, and community fires, as well as iconic cultural symbols such as couplets, red lanterns, Chinese knots, and dragon dances. From the perspective of intangible cultural heritage protection, the priority of contemporary inheritance of Spring Festival culture is to consciously protect and inherit its spiritual traditions, core festival customs, and iconic cultural symbols. Changes take a long time, and there are no shortage of general rules The strong vitality of the Spring Festival comes from its ability to constantly update and adjust. In contemporary society, the active inheritance of Spring Festival culture must face the changes in contemporary society and life, and actively innovate ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. In fact, with the widespread application of digital technology, contemporary society has created many new ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. Such as "Online New Year's Goods Festival", "Cloud Watch", cloud gatherings, SMS New Year greetings, video New Year greetings, digital New Year greetings, cloud venue New Year greetings, digital red envelopes, video red envelopes, AR red envelopes, online "Five Blessings Collection", electronic firecrackers, AI generated Spring Festival couplets, etc. Smart technology has also created a digital landscape for the Spring Festival, creating a strong Spring Festival atmosphere in virtual spaces. For example, the "New Year's Digital Culture Festival in the Forbidden City" can provide an immersive experience of traditional palace customs; In the online game with the theme of the Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival, lanterns are decorated and "sky lanterns" are released. There are dragon and lion dances performed by virtual characters. The "Smart Spring Festival" may seem to have changed the cultural form of the Spring Festival, but in fact, it has only innovated the way of celebrating the Spring Festival. Whether it's online New Year's goods, cloud greetings, smart Spring Festival couplets, or virtual Spring Festival scenes, they still inherit the core customs of the Spring Festival such as New Year's greetings and gatherings, using symbolic cultural symbols such as Spring Festival couplets, fireworks, red envelopes, lanterns, dragon dances, etc., expressing the core cultural concepts and spiritual values of the Spring Festival such as family reunion, social solidarity, praying for blessings and good fortune, and updating everything. Not only that, the digitization of Spring Festival scenes has also revived various aspects
