The festival is also known colloquially as the Spring Festival, New Age, New Year, Great Year, etc. During the Spring Festival, various activities are held throughout the country. These activities mainly focus on removing the old, greeting the new, worshiping gods and ancestors, and praying for a harvest year by rich and colorful forms with special regional characteristics and essence of Chinese traditional culture.; 春节是由岁首祈年祭祀演变而来，上古时代便有了一些过年的气氛，人们于 一年农事结束后，在新一年开端的岁首，举行祭祀活动报祭天地众神、祖先的恩德，祈求丰年。 The Spring Festival evolved from praying for the New Year at the beginning of one year.

It symbolized reunion and happiness. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been taken seriously in the Western Han Dynasty. However, after the Han and Wei Dynasties, the Lantern Festival began to be seriously regarded as a folk festival. Si
