春节,是我国汉族和许多少数民族共同的佳节。中国民间过春节的习惯,大抵是从原始社会时代的“腊祭”演变而来的。古代商、周、秦时,由于岁首不在正月,元日也不在正月初一;到汉武帝时制定太初历,仍以夏历正月为岁首,历代都如此,元日才固定在正月初一。不过当时过节并不在除夕,而在“腊日”,即后来的“腊八”。 The Spring Festival is a common festival for Han Chinese and many ethnic minorities in our country. The custom of Chinese folk spring festival is probably evolved from the “wax festival” of primitive society. Ancient business, Zhou, Qin, because the first year is not the first month, the first day of the first month is not the first day; to the early development of the Emperor Wudi Taishu calendar, still the first lunar month for the first time, the history of all this, the first day was fixed in the first day of the first month . However, the festival was not on New Year’s Eve, but in the “wax Japan”, the later “Laba.”
