Abstract: Vigil-keeping refers to the custom of staying awake all night on Lunar New Year’s Eve to welcome the coming year. As a prevalent traditional activity during the Tang Dynasty, vigil-keeping was regarded as a significant New Year ritual. Against the social backdrop of the Tang Dynasty, vigil-keeping evolved new forms of expression and diversified in content. Serving as a juncture of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new, these activities not only reflected the rich folklore and social customs of the Tang Dynasty but also carried profound cultural significance and practical value.
