Young people are known as ripe crops, and they are ripe every year, so they think they are old names.
New Year’s Eve is extremely important for Chinese. People who have been busy for a year have ushered in the reunion of their loved ones on this day, and at the same time, they are eating a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner and having a happy family.
New Year’s Eve, also known as New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve and Big Dark Day, is the last night of the lunar year, that is, the night before the Spring Festival. Because New Year’s Eve often falls on the 29th or 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is also called New Year’s Eve. In 2024, New Year’s Eve falls on February 9th, and the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is the last day of the lunar year.
Hundred years first, four seasons spring first. "New Year’s Eve" means that the old year will be removed this evening, and the new year will be replaced tomorrow. According to "Lu’s Winter in Spring and Autumn", the ancients used drums to drive away the "ghost of plague" on the day before the New Year, which is the origin of the "New Year’s Eve" festival. It is said that the earliest mention of the name "New Year’s Eve" is the historical records such as "Local Customs" written by Zhou Chu in the Western Jin Dynasty.
