春节，是我们中华民族的传统节日，它代表着团圆、幸福、平安。万象更新，到处弥漫着喜庆的味道。

大家一起来贴对联，对联诗句真美妙，上联：“春风得意年年好”，下联：“锦绣前程步步高”，横批：“吉星高照”。过年贴“福”字的习俗，大约在宋代以前就已流行了，不过倒着贴“福”的做法，据说出现在明代早期。把“福”字倒着贴的意思是“福到”，象征着团团圆圆，幸福美满。因此，我家门前也贴了一张“倒福”。

家家赶做年菜，到处是酒肉的香味。妈妈摆上了丰盛的佳肴，有鸡、鹅、鱼等山珍海味。你们知道吗?每道菜都有它们的含义。鸡：表示勃勃生机，在未来的一年里每天都精神有活力;鹅：表示小孩子聪明伶俐;鱼：表示年年有余。这一点一滴都表示春节的喜庆。年夜饭煮好了，大家围在餐桌上吃美味的饭菜，这些饭菜简直可以与五星级酒店里的佳肴堪比。

晚上，我迫不及待地放了烟花，然后又放了鞭炮。有“喜迎大地”、“百鸟迎春”……个个都绚丽多彩，让人看得眼花缭乱、应接不暇。

在这欢声笑语中，伴随着噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，敲响了新年的钟声，我们迎来了崭新的一年。我爱春节!

There are a lot of good things in the spring festival, I want to talk about good things today is very common, for you may be a little insignificant.

Spring festival is near, but the archduke is not beautiful. It s been snowing for 50 years. Snow is more than 15 cm thick, hanging under the eaves of ice hanging more than 10 cm long, frozen into disaster. Road freezing caused traffic disruption, material shortages, many poles " waist". The problem of power failure and water shortage ensued. Winter was cold, without electricity can t bake the fire, it is worse. After the power failure, my candle used up, the market did not sell, had to eat dinner early, it was dark and went to sleep. And the headache is that water stopped after the blackout. Every day in order to water to go far away to mention, water is more precious than gold! Just start to wash a face once a day, to the next two days, take a shower more " Arabian nights". This kind of life makes us return to the " primitive society" all messed up. Although the spring festival is coming, but there is no festive atmosphere, very anxious to end this " dark without light day" life immediately.

Thirty in the morning, call, water! I turned on the light, the light lit in an instant; Open the electric heating furnace, immediately hot; Tap water, immediately water " wow" flow out. I am happy to dance, " primitive society" is finally over, our life is back to normal.

I saw premier Wen visit Hunan twice in 44 hours on the special TV " fight against ice and snow" program, and climbed up the mountain to comfort the power hero regardless of danger. I can t help but sigh with emotion at the touching scene: premier Wen is so kind! How warm the party and the government are! Don t care about electricity at ordinary times, at this time is how precious, is the power hero for life.

Have such a prime minister, have such a party and government, have such a hero, isn t it a joy to us? This joy is not personal, belong to everyone!

The Lunar New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring . Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means year , was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year s end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term Guo Nian , which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebrate the Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over and observe . The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebratio

The Lunar New Year is a great occasion to the Chinese people.It lasts about the first four days of the year,during which people do not work except for the workers on duty.Students do not go to school,and shops are closed.

Several days before the new year,people begin to prepare.Farmers kill pigs,sheep,cocks and hens.City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables.Houses are cleaned； coupletsare posted on the doors.Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate.

On the eve of the new year,each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner.After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve.Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to welcome the new year.On the first day of the new year,almost everyone is dressed in his or her best.When people meet on the way,they say to each other "Happy New Year".Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other.Children indulge themselves in games.
