The first day of the first lunar month is the Spring Festival, also known as the lunar (lunary) year, commonly known as the "New Year". This is one of the most solemn and lively ancient traditional festivals among the people of our country. The Spring Festival is the most important festival of the Han nationality.

However, China is a multi-ethnic country, in addition to the Han nationality, there are more than a dozen ethnic minorities such as Manchu, Mongolian, Yao, Zhuang, Bai, Gaoshan, Hezhe, Hani, Daur, Dong, and Li who also have the customs of the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival has a long history, and it originated from the worship of gods and ancestors at the beginning and end of the Yin Shang period. There are also many legends about the year.

In ancient times, the Spring Festival was called "Yuan Day", "New Year's Day", and "New Year". After the Xinhai Revolution, the first day of the first lunar month was officially named the Spring Festival.

Spring Festival, as the name suggests, is a spring festival. Spring is coming, everything is renewed, and a new sowing and harvesting season is about to begin. People have plenty of reasons to sing and dance to the festival.

So, before the holiday, the New Year's message was pasted on the door with red paper and yellow letters. When the spring girl comes to the door, she will recite the sentence of the good wishes for the new year, and this thought, good luck has really come. The same meaning of things also hang red lanterns and paste the word "Fu" and the statue of the God of Wealth, etc., the word "Fu" must also be pasted upside down, passers-by read "Fu is down", that is, "Fu has arrived".

The Spring Festival is a festival for family reunions. Children who are away from home have to travel thousands of miles back to their parents' homes. The night before the real Chinese New Year is called reunion night, and the family has to sit around to make dumplings.

The practice of dumplings is to mix noodles first, and the word "and" is "together"; The dumplings of dumplings are homophonic with "cross", and "he" and "cross" have the meaning of reunion, so dumplings are used to symbolize reunion. The festive atmosphere lasts for a month. Before the first day of the first lunar month, there are rituals such as sacrificing stoves and worshipping ancestors; There are ceremonies such as New Year's money for children, New Year's greetings from relatives and friends; Half a month after the festival is the Lantern Festival again, when the lanterns are full of the city, the tourists are full of streets, the grand occasion is unprecedented, after the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is over.

All parts of our country have the custom of sticking to the door god during the New Year. The original door god was carved in the shape of a person in mahogany wood and hung next to the person, and later the door god was painted and posted on the door. The legendary Shen Tu and Yu Lei brothers specialize in managing ghosts, and they guard the portal, and the big and small evil ghosts dare not enter the door.

After the Tang Dynasty, there were also paintings of the fierce generals Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde as the door gods, and there were also paintings of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the door gods. The statue of the door god is one on the left and one for each household, and the descendants often draw a pair of door gods as a text and a martial arts. There are three types of door gods:

The first type is the "gate god", which is mostly attached to the door of the car or the entire door, about four or five feet high and about two or three feet wide. The second type is the "street door god", which is mostly attached to the small street door, about two feet high and about one foot wide. These two door gods are two gods, one with a black face and one with a white face.

White left and black right, white good and easy, black and evil, each holding a lance. The third type is the "house door god", which is slightly smaller and more limited than the street door god, and it is also a black and white god, but there are also black and white gods who are seated statues. The door of the house is at most pasted with the image of "unicorn sending children", two dolls of Fu powder and combing the crown of the prince, each riding a unicorn.

This kind of door god was supposed to be pasted on the door of the newly married house to take good fortune, and later it was also used as a New Year's decoration for ordinary street doors.
