Festival introduction:

According to legend, in the prosperous time of Yao and Shun in ancient times more than 4,000 years ago, when Yao was in power, he worked diligently for the people and did many good things for the people, which was deeply loved by the people. However, due to his son's incompetence, he did not pass on the position of tribal alliance leader to his son, but passed it on to Shun, who has both ability and political integrity. Yao told Shun that you must pass on the throne in the future, and you will be relieved when I die. Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu, who had rendered meritorious service in water control. Yu also loves the people as much as Shun, and has done many good things for the people, and is deeply loved by the people.

Later, after Yao's death, people took the day of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and the first emperor Yao as the beginning of the year, and called the first day of the first lunar month New Year's Day, or New Year's Day. There is also a legend that the first day of the first month (New Year's Day) began in Zhuan Xu, one of the three emperors and five emperors, with a history of more than 5,000 years. It is said that this is the origin of ancient New Year's Day. In modern China, New Year's Day is listed as a legal holiday and becomes a national holiday. After a day's rest, we often adjust the weekend before or after that day, and usually have a three-day rest.
