汉语：中国农历年的岁首称为春节。是中国人民最隆重的传统节日，也象征团结、兴旺，对未来寄托新的希望的佳节。据记载，中国人民过春节已有4000多年的历史。关于春节的起源有很多说法，但其中为公众普遍接受的说法是，春节由虞舜兴起。公元前2000多年的一天，舜即天子位，带领着部下人员，祭拜天地。从此，人们就把这一天当作岁首。据说这就是农历新年的由来，后来叫春节。春节过去也叫元旦。春节所在的这一月叫元月。

但是，中国历代元旦的日期并不一致：夏朝用孟春的元月为正月，商朝用腊月（十二月）为正月，秦始皇统一六国后以十月为正月，汉朝初期沿用秦历。汉武帝刘彻感到历纪太乱，就命令大臣公孙卿和司马迁造“太阳历”，规定以农历正月为一岁之首，以正月初一为一年的第一天，就是元旦。此后中国一直沿用夏历（阴历，又称农历）纪年，直到清朝未年，长达2080年。

春节不同时代有不同名称。在先秦时叫“上日”、“元日”、“改岁”、“献岁”等；到了两汉时期，又被叫为“三朝”、“岁旦”、“正旦”、“正日”；魏晋南北朝时称为“元辰”、“元日”、“元首”、“岁朝”等；到了唐宋元明，则称为“元旦”、“元”、“岁日”、“新正”、“新元”等；而清代，一直叫“元旦”或“元日”。

1912年孙中山在南京就任中华民国临时大总统时，宣布废除旧历改用阳历（即公历），用民国纪年。并决定以公元1912年1月1日为民国元年1月1日。一月一日叫新年，但不称元旦。但民间仍按传统沿用旧历即夏历，仍在当年2月18日（壬子年正月初一）过传统新年，其他传统节日也照旧。有鉴于此，1913年（民国二年）7月，由当时北京政府任内务总长向大总统袁世凯呈上一份四时节假的报告，称：“我国旧俗，每年四时令节，即应明文规定，拟请定阴历元旦为春节，端午为夏节，中秋为秋节，冬至为冬节，凡我国民都得休息，在公人员，

亦准假一日。”但袁世凯只批准以正月初一为春节，同意春节例行放假，次年（1914年）起开始施行。自此夏历岁首称“春节”。

1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议决定在建立中华人民共和国的同时，采用世界通用的公元纪年。为了区分阳历和阴历两个“年”，又因一年24节气的“立春”恰在农历年的前后，故把阳历一月一日称为“元旦”，农历正月初一正式改称“春节”。

地球绕太阳一周，历法上叫一年，循环往复，永无止境。但是，人们根据春、夏、秋、冬四季节气的不同，就以夏历正月初一为一年的岁首。每年农历十二月三十日（小月二十九）半夜子时（十二点）过后，春节就算正式来到了。

临近春节，人们采办年货，除夕时，全家团聚在一起吃年夜饭。贴年画、春联；迎接新的一年来临。

随着新中国的建立，春节庆祝活动更为丰富多彩。不仅保留了过去民间习俗，剔除了一些带有封建迷信的活动，而且增加了不少新的内容。使春节具有新的时代气息。1949年12月23日，中华人民共和国人民政府规定每年春节放假三天。

中国是个多民族的国家，各民族过新年的形式各有不同。汉族、满族和朝鲜族过春节的风俗习惯差不多，全家团圆，人们吃年糕、水饺以及各种丰盛的饭菜、张灯结彩，燃放鞭炮，并互相祝福。春节期间的庆祝活动极为丰富多样，有舞狮、耍龙的，也有踩高跷、跑旱船的。在有些地区人们沿袭过去祭祖敬神活动，祈求新的一年风调雨顺，平安、丰收。古代的蒙古族，把春节叫做“白节”，正月叫白月，是吉祥如意的意思。藏族是过藏历年。回族、维吾尔族、哈萨克族等，是过“古尔邦节”。春节也是苗族、僮族、瑶族等的盛大节日。小短文：The Chinese New Year is the most important holiday for ethnic Chinese people all around the world.
