the origin of chinese new yearchinese new year, pronounced in chinese as "xin nian", always falls on the date of marking the beginning of the spring and thus it is also called the "spring festival". "xin" means "new" and "nian" means "year". there are many stories told about the origin of "nian", which actually is a name of animals.

the old story says that the beast "nian" with a very big mouth was so fierce and could swallow many people in one single bite. people were very scared. an old man offered to subdue "nian" and said to "nian": "i hear that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" so "nian" swallowed many of the other beasts that hurt people and their domestic animals. the old man turned out to be an immortal god and riding the beast "nian" flied to the heaven.

now that "nian" is gone and other beasts were also scared into forests, people began 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 years end to scare away "nian" in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.

用其他食物，包括一整条鱼，来代表团圆和富饶，或一只鸡来代表兴旺

The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

这只鸡必须要有头有胃还有脚来象征完整。面则不能被切断，因为他们代表了长寿

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays。 It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers。 The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival。 Chinese New Years Eve is known as chú xī。 It literally means "Year-pass Eve"。

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar。 The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions。 Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most。

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese， Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors， as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction。 These include Koreans (Seollal)， Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar)， Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar)， Vietnamese (T?t)， and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu)。 Outside of Mainland China， Hong Kong， Macau， and Taiwan， Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations， such as Singapore， Indonesia， Laos， Malaysia， the Philippines， and Thailand。 In countries such as Australia， Canada and the United States， although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday， many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post， Canada Post， and the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps。

Within China， regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely。 People will pour out their money to buy presents， decoration， material， food， and clothing。 It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good ining luck。 Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”， “wealth”， and “longevity”。 On the Eve of Chinese New Year， supper is a feast with families。 Food will include such items as pigs， ducks， chicken and sweet delicacies。 The family will end the night with firecrackers。 Early the next morning， children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year， and receive money in red paper envelopes。 The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges， and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone。

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years， outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi。 But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars， making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707， 4706， or 4646。

The Spring Festival in China is an ancient festival, is also the most important throughout the year a festival to celebrate this holiday, over one thousand years of history in the development, formed some relatively fixed customs and habits, and there are many also it today.

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

春节是我国最主要的传统节日，很多人都会放下繁忙的工作，回到家，举家欢庆，庆祝团圆。下面小编带来的是过春节的中学生英语作文，希望对你有帮助。

The winter vacation, the Spring Festival, not what can be more symbolic than firecrackers, during the Lunar New Year holiday, the first idea is to set off firecrackers on the street, see the brightly coloured fireworks is a heart itch.

From the new year, when their distribution of firecrackers the list of bills.

We can endure the temptation, dont shout, we tried to make it can scarcely wait in front of adults, so they take us back to an exciting, can these people, like we play like teasing, blind, but no one would dare to put forward, it will inevitably. First, so we picked the iron heart, those gadgets, is not easy to detect the box gun hidden in the bag and ran away to steal, we all cherish it! Who have 10 pieces of cannon cleaning hidden in the hidden bag, each other do not stop said: "first put you the more you." "I have no, I do not believe you." "Talk and count it out to me." "Thats no good." "Lets put you." "Mora who lost who" each gun had inevitably twitter controversy, for trouble, also had their own respective, to put aside.

They are back to the speaker lit and thrown, simply even ears are not covered, PA, the water splashed up here, he screamed again, this can be in the water like shooting on land that is easy, it is necessary to experience. I have seen carefully the experienced cannon. I saw that he did not throw it directly after burning it, but he would burn it for half a second and throw it into the water again, so he would throw it repeatedly, or it would be extinguished in the water, which would be a great waste of firecrackers, which is not what we would like to do.

This game a few days later, went to the first day of the new year, at that time, the novelty will be played out, we were more interested. At that time, thousands of households are out shooting, that battle, like battlefield two, we look for the shuttle in the middle there is no fried surplus, it is very lucky to get it, but we still dont give up the 0. 001%s hope.

Until the second day of the new year, firecrackers suddenly stopped, so neat, so coincidentally, occasionally one or two sound system sound, and more people feel quiet, empty, so soon after the Lunar New Years day, yes, really over, that moment, our work is only to wait, wait for the next a long spring festival.

除夕之夜，我们全家吃过年夜饭，就在大厅里准备举行家庭联欢晚会。主持人当然是我啦。不过倩倩妹妹和宏姐姐是我的搭档。全家人都坐好了，一切准备就绪，爸爸还架起了摄像机。

面对观众，我郑重地宣布：“女士们，先生们，晚上好!家庭联欢晚会现在开始!今天是2003年的除夕，祝愿大家春节快乐，万事如意!”家庭春节联欢晚会在一片掌声中开始了。首先出场表演的是我的弟弟。他为大家演唱英文歌曲，那流利、动听的歌声真让人舒服。大家报以热烈的掌声。接着，是我自己表演。我为大家带来的是一首好听的歌《欢乐年年庆友谊》。虽然这首歌十分难唱，但是，在全家人的鼓励下，我流利地、包含深情地唱好了，赢得了热烈的掌声。我心里美滋滋的。最带劲的节目要数平姐姐和宏姐姐联手表演的劲歌舞《快乐指南》。

“当！当！当！”耶！放学回家过年啰！学期的最后一天结业式，大家又期待又失望。期待的是喜气洋洋的过年，失望的是寒假的这段期间，看不到好朋友和亲切和蔼的老师，我的心中充满了淡淡的悲伤。

在弹指之间，短短的一个星期过去了，终于到了令男女老少都兴奋的过新年！

除夕夜，等大家都到齐后，年夜饭啰！满桌子的食物，色香味俱全，有香甜酸溜的凤梨虾球，香喷喷、Q得不能再Q的油饭，鲜甜多汁的虾子，金黄得叫人垂涎欲滴的玉米鸡……大家狼吞虎咽的你一口，我一口。唉！世间还有哪一餐这么的幸福啊！很快的，大家把满桌子的年夜饭一扫而空。吃完丰盛的年夜菜，准备讨个大吉大利，领红包了。大家领完红包，说个吉利话，就要去拜祖先了。大家用最恭敬的心，把香用熊熊烈火点燃，毕躬毕敬的向祖先祭拜、祈福……

过年期间的几个晚上，大家总在吃饱饭后，一边嗑瓜子，一边看年节电视特别节目，闲话家常。到了九点多，我们小朋友兴奋的提着大塑胶袋里的“炸弹”跑到屋外，放鞭炮啰！我的堂妹今年只有七岁，但她的胆量真的是大到吓死人！大家开开心心的放鞭炮，她也不例外，她拿着“手拿式的烟火”等到烟火“砰！”开来了，她依然稳如泰山，一动也不动，只是开心的傻笑，让大家对她的“憨胆”真是佩服得五体投地。

手拿式的烟火放完，接下来就是仙女棒。这些仙女棒可是和一般的仙女棒有着天嚷之别的地方呢！这种仙女棒点燃之后，有着五彩缤纷的色彩，叫人目不暇给呢！大伙儿把仙女棒点燃后，叔叔也童心大发，点燃了一种会火速冲出去，而且又会爆开，大声得震耳欲聋的连珠炮。因为它有好几发，所以第一发冲出去后，震得“砲台”就倒了；接下来，发生了一件叫人胆战心惊的事，第二发竟然横冲直撞，冲到隔壁家门口，我们正手足无措时，真是“好家在”，没有人受伤，也没有任何不幸，只是地板有点炸得焦黑，大家才算松了一口气，真是惊心动魄啊！

等鞭炮放得差不多了，大家就把垃圾清理一下，叔叔说这叫“毁尸灭迹”。紧接着，去逛夜市啰！

一到夜市，大家看到夜市人山人海，根本就是“塞人”嘛！在这个四面八方都是人的地方，我们才走了十分钟，就决定离开了，因为实在是水洩不通，我们是“不动如山”的在原地踏步走。

回到家，等到半夜十二点，妈妈把元宝水饺端上桌，大家像在抢钱一样。在大家手忙脚乱的时候，堂弟吃到了一块钱，拿到了六百元。大听了，真是哭笑不得，替堂弟高兴他的幸运，也替自己叹息错失良机，嘴巴塞得像只大青蛙。接下来，叔叔吃到了大奖十元，拿到了一千两百元。但叔叔说过年是小孩子最喜欢的时光，二话不啰嗦，把一千两百元大方的送给我，并且跟我说：“新年快乐！”我真是受宠若惊，大家都好嫉妒我，你死我活的把一大盘的元宝吃到最后一颗时，都没吃到五元，竟然是妈妈吃到了，是大家期待的二等奖五元，得到八百元。唉！贪心的人是得不到幸运之神的眷顾的。

过年时，每个家庭依然点亮了温暖的灯、热腾腾的气氛和香喷喷的年味。所以，在新的一年，我要祝大家“牛”转“钱”坤，心想事成，年年赚进大金年！

Hello ！welcome to the special Chinese new years edition of discovering China. Im Alina Li and Im Ben Hedges, and today well be taking you through some of the most important traditions of Chinese new year and historical background. We will look at some of the legends behind Chinese new year and how to celebrate it. Here in the US and Chinese across the world.

The Chinese have specific way to celebrate their new year. If you walk down the street in Chinatown during Chinese New Year, you see a variety of ancient traditions such as red banners, firecrackers and lion dance performances, streets are filled with lively celebration.

However, legend has said that the new year has not always been a time of festivity. An Asian Chinese story told a chilly start to this festive holiday, it begins with an ancient Chinese beast called Nian.

Every New Year Nian would rise from swelling in the sea to ravage Chinese village in livestock and hurting people. The villages soon found out from a wise gray-haired old man that the only way to scare the beast away was to set off firecrackers and light lamps and to hang red banners on each door. As the story goes, this was the beginning of a tradition that would last thousands of years.

So this story leads to the creation of many of other traditions for celebrating Chinese New Year. lets take a look at some of these traditions.

In my hometown every New Year festival is very grand. Today I want to talk about the New Year of my hometown.

During the month of the twelfth month, my hometown is beginning to smell the Spring Festival. The things that are used for Chinese New Year, the simple thing is the annual goods.

The children prepare for the New Year, mainly firecrackers and firecrackers, with two feet kicking, wrestling, black spiders... The firecrackers were in their pockets as if they could explode at any moment. But it was fun, and the fire was the cannon that crashed to the ground, and all kinds of firecrackers I stopped introducing.

The children were glad and the adults were busy. They must prepare for the New Year, which they will eat, drink, wear and use.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth month, my family is going to clean up, the adults are cleaning out at home, our children play firecrackers outside, but I sometimes go to help.

The twelfth month, immediately to the New Year;s eve, New Year;s eve is busy, we all begin to do dinner, family reunion dinner, in chaozhou we have a custom, before the reunion dinner, will be god, after god, began to eat. That should be: 4:30. We had received the red envelopes before we had a meal in my hometown. We finish the meal, the children go to play, the adults clean up.

The night of the New Year;s eve is the most busy time, there are some boxes of fireworks, the door of the house under a after a put, no gap, after, after nearly twelve o ;clock. Then he went to bed.

On the first day of the New Year, everyone was visiting relatives and friends. Children to play.

Until the Lantern Festival began on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival was another climax. On the fifteenth day of the first month, there was a custom in my hometown: carrying the deities on the street, and swimming the whole village three times. Every family came to the door to worship god, and every one of the household was stopped and waited until the house was finished. On this day, you must also eat dumplings. Represents the circle round. It;s really a happy day.

This is what my hometown must do in the Spring Festival! New Year;s day good!

The first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the gods of the heavens and earth. "Many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for them.

On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.?

The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.?

The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck.?

On the sixth to the 10th day, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends freely. They also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health.?

The seventh day of the New Year is the day for farmers to display their produce. These farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate the occasion. The seventh day is also considered the birthday of human beings. Noodles are eaten to promote longevity and raw fish for success.?

On the eighth day the Fujian people have another family reunion dinner, and at midnight they pray to Tian Gong, the God of Heaven.?

The ninth day is to make offerings to the Jade Emperor.?

The 10th through the 12th are days that friends and relatives should be invited for dinner. After so much rich food, on the 13th day you should have simple rice congee and mustard greens (choi sum) to cleanse the system.

Today is the beginning of first, I told my cousin went to the big red flag in the town of Villa Zhuo watched a wonderful "Spring Festival acrobatics extravaganza." After we came to find a place performing acrobatics, find a place to sit, then waited patiently show began.

The first program, the small monkey riding old goat rope walk. I saw the old goat monkey carrying a small step by step down the rope, hey, before. Really amazing ah! The next program more exciting! For example: a tightrope, tigers jump through hoops, lions and tigers slide across the beautiful swing, bears do sports, air swing ...... and so this "Spring Festival acrobatic extravaganza," the protagonist is mainly animals.

This "Spring Festival acrobatics show" really meaningful ah!

New Year Party

On New Years Eve, our class had a party. The atmosphere was good. It was out of the ordinary from the very begining. The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. Then with three resounding crow of a cock echoing in the hall, the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted. He shouted our, "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn."

The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of chickens."
