在传统节日中我喜欢过春节，春节是我们中华民族的传统节日，也是众多传统节日过的最为隆重、喜庆的。而在我眼里春节是小朋友们的“狂欢会”，因为春节可以放鞭炮、打游戏、看烟花……别提有多开心了!

一说起春节我就想起了去年过春节时候的情景。那天大采购，买了好多烟花白天的时候我就在那与小朋友你追我赶。

盼啊盼，终于到了晚上大家的“Party”终于开始了。饥肠辘辘的我们狼吞虎咽的吃着年夜饭，喝!年夜饭还真多，我都吃不下了!吃完年夜饭，我和姐姐拿着鞭炮冲了出去，拿出了“火绳”用老爸的打火机一烧，“火绳”就射出了五彩斑斓的光我把“火绳”甩起来“火绳”就像一个“火圈”一样好看极了!放完了“火绳”我们开始放“火树”了，我们用打火机点着了引线逐渐有一点点淡淡的火光的冒了出来，随着我们欢呼的声音火光逐渐减变大，渐渐地成了一棵树，我和姐姐就在旁边一边做动作一边喊：“高!高!高!”火光在树上跳动仿佛是小精灵在树上欢呼着、跳动着。终于放礼花了我，我们引燃了导线。99发的礼花像大炮一样陆续发送五彩缤纷好看极了!

"I now declare the rules of the game: a man hides a few things, and a few others go and hide them," said the town. We drew a lot and finally decided to hide three coke bottle caps from our cousin. The cousin pushed us out of the room and hid things by herself... After a while, the cousin came out with a smile and said, "hide it, you cant find it!" We swarmed in, and I thought: the easiest place to hide is probably the most secluded place. So, I will seriously every corner to find it again, did not, in the look at the kid sister, drill under the bed, their tails on the outside, groping hands in it, no, she just want to stand up, "alas!" The little sister cried, and she cried, and she stood up under the bed and hit the bed.

So she stopped the game. Ah! One less opponent, but the cousin is also difficult to deal with, see her in the closet to each piece of clothing to turn over, wow! Not yet! But where exactly? I glanced around, and then I noticed a shiny object behind the curtain.

I pulled the curtain aside. Coke bottle caps! I was happy to jump three feet high, my cousin saw, a look of unconvinced. But shes picking up speed. Look for it here. I made haste, and under the bed and then watch out of the reach of little younger sister, and I found a coke bottle caps, my heart even more excited to get up, then I have found in a book under the last bottle. "Shout! It took me a lot of work! I sighed and said, my cousin, my cousin and my sister are all happy for me. The cousin said, "you are very observant!" I heard it, I was very happy.

It was the Eve of the Spring Festival.

Dusk was just falling as I slurped up the last bit of rice and laid down my chopsticks.

“Theyre starting!” cried my friend excitedly. “Quick! Quick!”

Outside, children were running everywhere. Their happy voices and faces made me warm inside, despite the cold wind that greeted me. My friend thrust a bundle of straw in my hands. “Come!” he cried. I giggled as I ran to catch up to him; the childrens excitement was a fever that spread to even the big kids like us.

I soon joined a rowdy bunch of children and teenagers who were building a bonfire in the middle of a path that ran through the wheat fields. “Here,”said my friend, handing me a long bamboo pole. “Put some of your straw in the fire. Then tie the rest onto your pole like this.” He demonstrated with his own materials, and I followed his example. Then he thrust both our torches into the fire and handed me mine. “Now run!”

And run I did----we all did. For miles and miles around, as far as I could see, there were small orange specks scattered about, and I could hear the distant screaming and laughing of other children running up and down the rice field path. For several hours into the night I helped build fires and keep an eye on the younger children. Occasionally I, too, lit a torch and ran around like a mad man, screaming and waving a flaming bamboo pole.

This festival, which occurred six days before Chinese New Year, was just one of the experiences during the visit to my friends over the Spring Festival. As it was explained to me, the purpose behind this festival was to allow the children to have fun burning up all the straw leftover after the harvest. Later, the ash is used for fertilizer.

There are many traditional festivals in China, such as the childrens day, the national day, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid Autumn Festival, but my favorite and most expected is the Spring Festival.

Lets talk about the origin of the Spring Festival. Legend has a monster called "year", the head long antennae, fierce and abnormal. "Year" years of deep seabed, every new years Eve just climbed out, devouring livestock harm human life. Therefore, every new years Eve, people help the aged and the young stockaded village fled to the mountains, to avoid "year" damage. A new years Eve, peach blossom village people are to help the aged and the young to take refuge, an old man came to the village, at this time, everyone on the run, who do not care about the old man, only an old woman carrying food to persuade the elderly, said: "everyone in the refugee! You can run away with the food, too. " The old man said unhurried, "can I stay in your house for a while?" The old woman hurried to persuade the elderly, the old man just only smiled but did not reply the old woman had to promise the elderly. The old man hung a red lantern in front of the house, and there was a lot of red things in front of the door. Suddenly, "year", "year" went to the front of the wife, I saw the red light scattered, "year" was scared away. At this time, sounded crackling sound of firecrackers, "year" was scared to death, escape from the village of peach blossom. Later, people called the happy day of the people "Spring Festival".

The Spring Festival is coming, the street is very busy! Malone on the road, the flow of water. A row of shops at the entrance, some hanging on every kind of lanterns, some big red lanterns hang, some affixed with "longevity, happiness as immense as the Eastern Sea" auspicious antithetical couplet. The street shop owners are Strike while the iron is hot. peddled. The small shop selling special purchases for the Spring Festival display, the size of the red lanterns and printed with a picture of auspicious antithetical couplet, dizzying, customers coming in a steady stream of Shaoxing, the boss too busy to attend to all. The children are wearing new clothes brightly coloured shuttle in the high streets and back lanes, face hung sweet smile. The streets were full of people, adults and children. The sound of firecrackers, fireworks, cheers and laughter filled the whole town, everywhere permeated with a festive atmosphere.

Not only in the street, but also at home. At home, people eat reunion dinner with relatives coming back from far away, then watch the Spring Festival Gala together, chat together, and my family is no exception. That year, our family and some relatives around the table to eat hot pot, mom and dad ate while chatting. I just sat there quietly enjoying the delicious food. After dinner, we put the fireworks in the square, a branch of a dragon like fireworks into the sky, blooming in the bright moonlight beside. I also tried to put one, but since then I cant put the fireworks again. The Spring Festival is really a beautiful day.
