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 meat, 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 bi g 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 (聊天) and watching TV.
During the holidays (节日), 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 (持续) 15 days. It will come to an end when Lantern Festival finishes.

People in India call New Year "Diwali" or "the Festival of Light(光)".
They often clean their houses before the day of Diwali. Most people clean their houses in the morning. They often decorate their houses with flowers. They also make sweet food look like flowers, people and animals. Then they visit their friends and give them presents and cards.
On New Year's Day, many people open the doors and windows and light(点亮) candles in front of the doors. They want to bring good luck to their families. After Diwali, people often dean their houses again. Some people like to make loud noises at their houses. They think this can make bad spirits(幽灵} go away.
