The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people. The Chinese people have celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years. There are many theories about the origin of the Spring Festival, but the generally accepted theory is that the Spring Festival started during the period of Yu and Shun, who was the emperor.

They gathered their subordinates and worshiped heaven and earth. From then on, people regarded this day as the beginning of the year. This is the origin of the Lunar New Year, which was later called the Spring Festival. In the past, the Spring Festival was also called New Year's Day, and the month in which the Spring Festival is located was called the first month.

However, the dates of the Spring Festival in China are not consistent in the past dynasties: the Xia Dynasty used the first month of Mengchun as the first month, the Shang Dynasty used the twelfth lunar month (twelfth month) as the first month, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, October was the first month, and the early Han Dynasty followed the Qin calendar

In 104 BC, astronomers Luo Xiahong, Deng Ping and others formulated the "Taichu Calendar", which changed the original October calendar to the first month of Mengchun. Later generations basically gradually improved it into what we use today.

According to the lunar calendar (also known as the lunar calendar), Luo Xiahong was also known as the "Spring Festival Old Man". Since then, China has continued to use the Xia calendar (the lunar calendar, also known as the lunar calendar) until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

However, this changed again at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. During the Beiyang Government of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai defined New Year's Day as January 1 of the Western calendar, and the Spring Festival as the first day of the first lunar month. What was the situation at that time? Since then, Yuan Shikai has served as the

After becoming the president, he wanted to do something. After all, he was an old official of the Qing Dynasty, but he was also exposed to foreign culture. Therefore, there was always a feeling in his heart that even an old bitch like you, Cixi, could listen to politics behind the curtain.

In ten years, why couldn't he, Yuan Shikai, become emperor?

Of course, this has to be said, why did Yuan Shikai resent Cixi, but why was Yuan Shikai so obedient when Cixi was still alive? The reason is simple, because Cixi was smart. In the last few years, he promoted Zhang Zhidong and Zaifeng

To contain Yi Kuang and Yuan Shikai, and also have the intention to guard against Yuan Shikai. If this person has other intentions, he will be killed. Of course, this topic is far away.

In short, Yuan Shikai had the ambition to be the emperor, but he was not so courageous just as he had just become the president of the Republic of China. But he wanted to be the emperor again, what should he do? He asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs below to draft a document,

It is used to revise the lunar calendar. To test the reaction of the whole country. How is this document written?

The first section of the Department of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs submitted it to the President. Reason: The proposal stipulates that the four sections shall be signed by Chief Zhu Qiqian (seal) on January 21, the third year of the Republic of China, as the matter of the petition. It was stolen from Xinbang to create the Gregorian era, so it is beneficial

For international traffic, the accounting year is determined, and it is appropriate to hang it as Order A to show your arrival. However, when issuing orders at the time, they should follow the universal harmony of the world, be popular and suitable for the people, and follow the habits of the society. Therefore, since the Japanese Restoration, the calendar has been corrected and implemented

Gradually, the relationship between folk customs has not changed. All the reasons have not changed. In the good days of spring and autumn, the whole country is having fun, repairing evil spirits, or reporting grand feasts. The scenery of the year still has the style of the Tang Dynasty, which can be used to draw stories and embellish peace. Not only

It is a festival for the economy. It can also help to liven up the spirit. It is an old custom in our country that every four seasonal festivals, people visit and pray, and they follow the same wind. It is a normal routine. It is also related to people's livelihood. It is proposed to set the lunar calendar for New Year's Day.

It is the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival is the summer festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the autumn festival, and the winter solstice is the winter festival. All Chinese citizens are allowed to rest, and public servants are also allowed to take a day off. In order to comply with public opinion, is this appropriate? Is it appropriate to submit it to the President for review?

Nuclear implementation. Submitted to the President and the Chief of the Interior, January 21st.

President Yuan Da approved: "As the submission has been informed, this approval should be approved immediately."

Originally, Yuan Shikai wanted to change the Spring Festival, but the staff below said that the change was too big and they were afraid that the people and intellectuals would not be able to accept it, so they changed the New Year's Day first and the Spring Festival later. This gave Yuan Shikai a little

Take a break.

Through such a document, the Chinese Lunar New Year's Day has become the first month of the Gregorian calendar, and the Chinese Spring Festival is still January 1 of the lunar calendar. This change has certainly made many people a little uncomfortable. It is clearly a holiday and must be celebrated.

It became two. However, it catered to the welcome of many intellectuals at the time, who believed that this would help China move towards prosperity. At that time, Yuan Shikai was praised for having the courage and foresight of Japan's democratic reform. Not to mention that these remarks were made by Yuan Shikai's cronies.

The ghost was still the consensus of the intellectuals at the time. In short, this change of China's Spring Festival calendar for thousands of years made Yuan Shikai's ambitions expand, which led to his subsequent decision to ascend the throne. It also led to his own destruction. By then, Yuan Shikai finally

It is a pity that this Spring Festival did not change. Otherwise, Yuan Shikai would have been famous forever.

After Yuan Shikai left, the Spring Festival still hadn't stopped. But in the Republic of China, things changed again.

On May 7, 1928, the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of China submitted a request to the National Government to “abolish the old calendar and universally use the national calendar.” The reason was: “Considering the daily social conditions, for more than ten years, the old calendar has been still used without any modification...

…”. “Eight measures have been drawn up in the hope of fundamental and thorough reform.” The second of them is to strictly prohibit the private sale of old calendars and comparison tables between old and new calendars; the third is to strictly order all agencies, schools, and groups inside and outside Beijing to

Except for those stipulated by the national calendar, no customary holidays are allowed for the Lunar New Year festivals. Article 4 is to order all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to formulate regulations and announce them to the public. All entertainment, competitions, etc. during the Lunar New Year festivals will be guided and improved in accordance with the national calendar.

Held on calendar date.

In 1930, the government reiterated: "Relocating the holiday dates and various ceremonial embellishments and entertainments for the Lunar New Year equals the National New Year: (1) People everywhere should change the number of holidays for the Lunar New Year and the various rites and entertainment used before and after the Lunar New Year.

Decorations, such as New Year greetings, group worship, ancestor worship, spring banquets, lantern viewing, colorful decorations, Spring Festival couplets, etc., will all be held before and after the Chinese New Year; (2) The party and government agencies will actively implement it, and notify the people in advance to follow it.

No holidays are allowed during the New Year, nor can we take holidays under other pretexts."

According to accounts, police were sent to closed shops during the Spring Festival, forcing them to open for business, and destroying Yuanbao tea and sacrificial fruits. Some even imposed fines, and even hawkers selling calendars in the countryside were arrested.

Detention. People were panicked for a while, which turned a happy New Year into a state of panic.

Why did the Republic of China do this? Obviously, this was somewhat influenced by Yuan Shikai's inheritance at that time and the influence of the domestic environment at that time. It wanted to change the customs of the people so that they would no longer believe in a certain party. The result was the opposite.

In the end, Li Shimin's words were fulfilled - the king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat but also capsize it. The Kuomintang was eventually completely destroyed and fled to Taiwan in despair.

Of course, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was a bit difficult to talk about Spring Festival and New Year's Day. After all, at that time, there was a lot of confusion among the people about how to celebrate New Year's Day and Spring Festival. Some people still celebrated New Year's Day and Spring Festival together, according to the lunar calendar. Others

New Year's Day and Spring Festival are celebrated separately. This makes the country a bit like the 54 states in the United States. Later, the central government finally ruled that New Year's Day should follow the Western calendar and Spring Festival should follow the Lunar calendar.

It is equivalent to saying that Yuan Shikai's routine was ultimately copied. However, through the country's rigid regulations, people across the country have finally become accustomed to celebrating New Year's Day according to the Western calendar, and Spring Festival according to the lunar calendar. It has been like this for decades. However, in these thousands of years of history,

No matter how the Spring Festival changes, the three days of the Lunar New Year are still the most important in the hearts of the people. Why is this, maybe the people still miss the sage era of Emperor Shun.

"Today is the thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month, and it's New Year's Eve!" Lin Feng looked at his watch and sighed.

"Well, today is the 17th of February in the Western calendar, the 30th of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month!" Lin Chiling nodded.

"It's good, this year has passed so quickly." Lin Feng sighed, "By the way, Zhiling, what about you, are you going home this year?"

Lin Chiling is from Taiwan, and her parents are both in Taiwan. Naturally, she wants to reunite with her family during the Spring Festival. After all, she spends most of the year running around by herself, and rarely sees her family. Only occasionally when she goes to Taiwan, do she take the time to meet her parents. Yes.

Lin Feng was moved and distressed by this.

"Well, I won't go back this year. I will go back after the Spring Festival." Lin Chiling thought for a while and said.

"Why don't you go back? Nothing happened! I'll take you back on a special plane. You stay with your parents for a few days, and then I'll pick you back up on a special plane. It'll be quick." Lin Feng shrugged.

"Hey, I won't go back. My family will be annoyed when I go back, and besides eating and playing cards, there is nothing else to do. So, I won't go back." Lin Chiling shook her head, "It happens every year, it's so annoying."

"Trouble? What's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?" Lin Feng asked curiously. Lin Chiling was his secretary, so there seemed to be very few things that could bother her. If it bothered her, then he would have to help.

"Uh, it's okay, it's just a small matter. Boss, you don't have to worry about me. Besides, after the reunion dinner tonight, isn't there an entrepreneurship seminar? I naturally want to be by your side." Lin Chiling said.

"It doesn't matter, it's just gathering some self-made successful people to sit down and discuss, that's all. It's just a tea party, nothing to do. Besides, aren't Natalie and Melissa here?

It’s only the Spring Festival, so it’s okay.” Lin Feng waved his hand and said.

However, Lin Chiling just shook her head and asked the reason again without saying much. Lin Feng was helpless about this. He is not the kind of person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor is he the kind of person who must tell the truth as a boss. Therefore, Lin Chiling did not say anything

, he didn’t ask.

"In that case, let's prepare later and go home early for dinner. Let's all go back together. At home, Youyou made a big dinner tonight!" Lin Feng ordered, turned around and walked out, preparing to have the last meal before the New Year with the staff.

Say goodbye.

"Idiot!" Natalie shook her head.

"Yes, even a Frenchman like me knows why, he is such a big fool!" Melissa also shook her head.

Lin Chiling shrugged helplessly. Although there was a little bit of disappointment on her face, she soon felt relieved. Sometimes her boss was as smart as anything, and sometimes he was stupid. But I love him like this!
