In ancient times, there was a young man named Wan Nian.?
古時候，有個名叫萬年的青年。
When he saw that the festivals were very disorderly at that time, he had the intention of setting the festivals.
萬年看到當時節令很亂，就有了想把節令定準的打算。
But there has been no way to calculate the time.
但他壹直找不到計算時間的方法。
One day, he was tired of cutting firewood and sat in the shade of a tree to rest.?
壹天，他上山砍柴累了，坐在樹陰下休息。
The movement of the shadows inspired him. He designed a sundial to measure the time of the day.
樹影的移動啟發了他。他設計了壹個測日影計天時的晷儀，測定壹天的時間。
Later, the dripping spring on the cliff inspired him, and he started to make a five-layer leak pot to calculate the time.
後來，山崖上的滴泉啟發了他的靈感，他又動手做了壹個五層漏壺，來計算時間。
Day after day, he found that every 360 days, the four seasons are repeated, the length of the day is repeated.
天長日久，他發現每隔三百六十多天，四季就輪回壹次，天時的長短就重復壹遍。
At that time, the emperor was Zu Yi, and he was often distressed by the unexpected weather.
當時的國君叫祖乙，也常為天氣風雲的不測感到苦惱。
Wan Nian?took the sundial and the leaky pot to the monarch and explained the principle of the sun and the moon running.
萬年知道後，帶著日晷和漏壺去國君，對祖乙講清了日月運行的道理。
Zu Yi felt justified when he heard it.
祖乙聽後大悅，感到有道理。
So he built the Sun and Moon Pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven, and built the sundial platform and the leaky pot pavilion.
於是他在天壇前修建日月閣，築起日晷臺和漏壺亭。
Zuyi hopes to measure the law of the sun and the moon, to calculate the exact time of morning and evening,?
祖乙希望能測準日月規律，推算出準確的晨夕時間。
And to create a calendar for the benefit of the people.
創建歷法，為天下的黎民百姓造福。
After the establishment of the calendar, Wan Nian offered a proposal.
歷法創建完畢後，萬年提出壹件事。
"Now it's the end of twelve months, the old age is over. Please set a festival for the king."
“現在正是十二個月滿，舊歲已完，請國君定個節吧”。
Zu Yi said, "Spring is the first year of life, so it's called Spring Festival."?
祖乙說：“春為歲首，就叫春節吧”。

春節習俗
1、年夜飯
年夜飯，又稱年晚飯、團年飯、團圓飯等，特指歲末除夕的闔家聚餐。年夜飯源於古代的年終祭祀儀，拜祭神靈與祖先後團圓聚餐。年夜飯是年前的重頭戲，不但豐富多彩，而且很講究意頭。吃團年飯前先拜神祭祖，待拜祭儀式完畢後才開飯。
2、壓歲錢
壓歲錢，年俗之壹，年晚飯後長輩要將事先準備好的壓歲錢派發給晚輩，據說壓歲錢可以壓住邪祟，晚輩得到壓歲錢就可以平平安安度過壹歲。壓歲錢在民俗文化中寓意辟邪驅鬼，保佑平安。
