Spring Festival

    In China Spring Festival is the most important festival. It comes on the first day of the first lunar month(阴历月).

    Before Spring Festival comes, people go out to buy things, such as chicken, fish, fruit, sweets and new clothes. They clean their houses and decorate them. The Chinese character “fu” is a must. It is usually stuck(贴) upside down, which means “fu comes".

    The celebrations(庆祝) begin on the eve of the lunar New Year. The family get together for a big dinner. If a person is far from home, he will always try to get home for this big dinner. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV.

    During the holidays, they go to visit relatives and friends and exchange New Year greetings. They sit around talking and eating candies, cakes and all kinds of delicious food. Every family prepares something special. Each child will get money as a New Year gift. People in the north of China often eat dumplings for breakfast. People in the south often eat niangao because niangao means “higher and higher one year after another".

    The celebrations last 15 days. It will come to an end when the Lantern Festival finishes.
