Similar to the importance of the Christmas Day for the westerners， the Spring Festival is the most important celebration for Chinese people. Although the meaning and the methods of celebration of the Spring Festival are changing with the time， the important status of the Spring Festival is incomparable.

Chinese Spring Festival has a long history， which is nearly four thousand years old. Initially， the festival had no name or fixed date However， people called Spring Festival “the age” according to the revolution period of Jupiter by B.C. 2100. Before B.C. 1000， people used “the year”， which means “Great Harvest” representing the Spring Festival.

According to the traditional custom， the Spring Festival lasts from the 23rd day of 12th lunar month to the 15th day of 1st lunar month， and the climax should be the New Year Eve and the first day of first lunar month.

按照传统习俗，春节是从第十二月第二十三日至第一月第十五日，高潮应该是除夕和正月初一。

沈阳中小学寒暑假时间年年相同

沈阳市教育局相关人士表示，其实，沈阳市中小学生寒暑假时间按校历执行，几乎年年一致。按照校历，往年寒假时间小学、初中和中等职业学校为1月17日至2月28日，3月1日开学，共43天。普通高中从1月24日至2月28日，3月1日开学，共36天。

但期间也发生过特例。由于2012年的春节在1月23日，如果执行以往校历，2012年过春节时，普高学生还没有放假。考虑到龙年春节提前这一特殊情况，市教育局决定将假期提前到1月11日，学生也因此收获了一个50天的超长寒假。

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 Spring Festival is our Chinese lunar New Year, so is very important for our Chinese New Year! Therefore, the preparation before the Spring Festival is also indispensable.

The New Year! The New Year! Every family is busy to stick couplets on the Spring Festival, shaved hair, do dinner... Too many things to do, and have too many "rules". Some custom also very strange, in desperation, I ask mom is to stick couplets on the Spring Festival.

I saw mother stick to "f" word backwards, I do know why to stick, stick backwards f word is a kind of custom, f (show f down (to)! But I still asked, "whats the Chinese New Year customs and manners?" Mother stop working, patiently to talk to me.

Originally, before New Years day there is a custom of setting off firecrackers, comes from the story of "the year beast". Once upon a time there was a "nian", deep sea floor, long stay in the New Years eve is splendour as evil everywhere. One year an old man with shooting, in red, put red couplets on the Spring Festivals approach is driven "nian", which was able to calm, then this method will spread. But now guangzhou ban fireworks, so we wont have this activity.

New Years eve this day is very important to our country. On this night, our whole family to prepare used orientation, special dinner.

To eat dinner, is the most lively happy Spring Festival every family. Eve. A splendid wasnt filled with a table, the whole family reunion, sitting at the table, the reunion dinner. People is both enjoy a full table delicacies, and enjoy the joy of the atmosphere, there are chickens, geese, burning meat on the table, etc., generally without two things, one is the hot pot, is a fish. Steaming hot pot, thriving; "Fish" and "yu" homophonic, meaning "more than" year after year. Finally a sweetmeat, blessing in the future day sweet.

Today is too big, I know a lot of the knowledge of the Chinese New Year customs, but I feel a little superstitious, but it was a pleasure, as long as happy, why not superstitions? Whats more, this is a traditional custom, would rather believe its have not trusted their!

春节是我们中国农历的新年，所以过年对我们中国人而言非常重要的!因此，春节前的准备也是必不可少的。

过年了!过年了!家家户户忙着贴春联，剃头发，做年夜饭……要做的事情太多了，而且“规矩”太多了!有些习俗还很怪，无奈之下，我就去问正在贴春联的妈妈。

我看见妈妈将“福”字倒着贴，我固然知道为什么要倒着贴，将‘福’字倒着贴是一种习俗，‘福’倒贴说明‘福’倒(到)了!但我仍然问道：“过年有什么习俗和规矩啊?”妈妈停下手中的活，耐心地给我谈起来。

原来，以前过年还有一种放鞭炮的习俗，来源于“年兽”的故事。很久以前有一只“年兽”，长期居住深海底，到了除夕就跃出海面到处作恶。有一年一个老人用放炮，穿红衣，贴红春联的方法驱赶走“年兽”，这才得以平静，此后这个方法就流传开来。但是现在广州禁止燃放烟花爆竹，所以我们就不再进行这个活动了。

除夕这一天对我国来说是极为重要的。这天晚上，我们全家准备除旧迎新，吃团年饭。

吃年夜饭，是春节家家户户最热闹愉快的时候。大年夜.丰盛的年菜摆满一桌 ，全家团聚，围坐桌旁，共吃团圆饭。人们既是享受满桌的佳肴，也是享受那份快乐的气氛，桌上有鸡、鹅、烧肉等等，一般少不了两样东西，一是火锅，一是鱼。火锅热气腾腾，说明红红火火;“鱼”和“余”谐音，喻意“年年有余”。最后一道甜食，祝福往后的日子甜甜蜜蜜。

今天我的收获太大了，知道了很多过年习俗的知识，不过我觉得有点迷信，但这又仿佛是一种乐趣，只要快乐就好，何必迷信不迷信?更何况这是传统的习俗，宁可信其有不可信其无啊!

Im looking forward to already a long time of the Spring Festival had finally arrived.

In the evening we family get together for a reunion dinner, the family harmony. After the meal, the mother after washing.

Good dont say, I have got up early tomorrow go to happy New Year, goodbye!

我盼望已久的春节终于到来了。

晚上我们一家人一起吃了一顿团圆饭，一家人其乐融融。吃完饭，妈妈洗后。

到了春节晚会直播的时间，一家人便围坐在电视旁听着宋祖英那动听婉转的声的是刘谦两枚硬币的魔术。这一个魔术让我百思不得其解，知道魔术要耍一些把戏，但是我想知道刘谦是用什么东西让两枚硬币穿透玻璃的。然后魔术开始。

先让人检查，是普通的硬币，没疑问。后来我知道玻璃对面的助手伸过手。将硬币按在玻璃上，(助手袖子中，藏有一枚磁铁硬币。)

刘谦将手中的硬币按在玻璃上，再把自己手中的硬币藏在袖子里。此时他手中已经有一枚，手拍桌面瞬间，已有四枚，弹起后两枚合一，仔细看两遍厚度不一样。没想到这个魔术还暗藏这么多的玄机。

好了不说了，明天我还得起早床去拜年呢，再见!

不同的地方有不同的生活特色，广州的春节颇有一番独特的风俗。

在我的记忆中，广州的春节是在腊月的初旬就开始了。这段时间，大家都会准备好年货。因此，大街上，商店里，都是一派人山人海的景象。同时，家家户户都会熬制腊八饭。在广州，腊八饭也叫作糯米饭。糯米饭的制作方法是比较简单的，先要准备好洗过的糯米。同时，将各种配料放入锅中爆炒至香。糯米饭的配料也是五花八门的：有冬菇、鸡蛋、鱿鱼、腊肉、葱......之后把糯米放入瓦锅。在饭差不多焖好时，将喷香的配料放在饭的表面。大概等半个小时，待饭色泽呈金黄色后便可以慢慢享用。光闻香味就忍不住吃一口。

每家每户都必须在大年三十这一天大扫除，希望在新的一年里，呈现出一派万象更新的场面。

广州的花市无不体现出花城的美誉。花市内人头攒动，每个人的脸上都透露出对春节的喜悦。花儿也是在争奇斗艳。

年初一到了!新的一年又开始了!在过年期间，大家互相拜年，互相走访，直到正月十五结束。

元宵上市了，春节的又一个高潮到了。在这一天，家家店铺张灯结彩，迎接这隆重而热闹的节日。一家人也其乐融融地聚在一起吃汤圆，晚上去广场看花灯。

不知不觉，春节结束了。学生们上学，大人们上班。春节在人们的欢声笑语中闪过了，人们又开始了新一年的忙碌.......

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.

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

The Spring Festival is our traditional festival, also is my favorite holiday, because can receive lucky money during the Spring Festival, to stick couplets on the Spring Festival, fireworks, eat dinner... Now Spring Festival will soon come, my heart felt great joy.

Eve morning, dad and I are in the front gate up Spring Festival couplets, hang lanterns, beaming house to house. In the afternoon, my parents particularly busy, busy making dumplings, ready to dinner, of course, I also not idle, cleaned the room of my own all, drag to clean, welcome the New Year.

Eve finally coming to town, my aunts house, outside the public and our family round the round table, eating a hearty dishes, everyone talking and laughing. At 8 o clock, the whole family stayed in front of the TV and eating melon seeds, while watching the Spring Festival gala. The partys content is rich and colorful, singing and dancing, acrobatics, magic and sketch... See their performance, reminds me "stage three minutes, the audience ten years of work" the proverb. Quick to 12 o clock, firecrackers exploded outside, deafening, my mouth look in the window overlook, see countless fireworks blooming in the sky of the city, colorful, beautiful, look, the whole night glittering. I especially excited, and called his father go with me to light firecrackers, renewing it. Come downstairs, dad put fireworks on the ground. A king-size fireworks lit, only heard "hissing" fly to heaven, and launched a bright spark, there are red, orange, yellow, green, blue 5 kinds of color, really gorgeous, at this moment, the whole sky, as if the world is colorful, like a fairyland in general.

However, over the years, I have big one year old, to understand, to work harder on study. I hope the next Spring Festival soon! I love Spring Festival!

春节是我国传统的节日，也是我最喜欢的节日，因为春节可以收压岁钱、贴春联、放烟火、吃年夜饭……现在春节就快来到了，我心里不由得欣喜。

大年夜上午，我和爸爸在大门上贴起了春联，挂起了灯笼，家家喜气洋洋。下午，爸妈特别忙,忙着包饺子，准备年夜饭，当然我也不闲着，把自己的房间全打扫一遍，把地拖得干干净净，迎接新年的到来。

大年夜终于来了，舅妈家、外公家和我们家围着圆桌旁，吃着丰盛的菜肴，大家有说有笑。8点钟，全家都守在电视机前，一边吃瓜子，一边看春节联欢晚会。晚会上的内容丰富多彩，有歌舞、杂技、魔术、小品……看到他们的表演，不由得想起“台上三分钟，台下十年功”这句谚语。快到12点，外面鞭炮齐鸣、震耳欲聋，我在窗户口放眼远眺，只见无数的烟花在城市的上空绽放，五彩缤纷、美不胜收，一眼望去，整个黑夜金光闪闪。我特别激动，赶紧叫着爸爸同我去放炮竹，辞旧迎新。来到楼下，爸爸把烟火放在平地上。一只特大号的烟火点燃了，只听“咝”的一声飞上天，展开了艳丽的火花，有赤、橙、黄、绿、蓝五种颜色，真是绚丽多彩，此时此刻，整个天空，仿佛是彩色的世界，如同仙境一般。我万分激动、兴奋，也拿起小烟火自己放了起来。这个夜晚使我感受到了热闹的过年气氛。

春节过年可真丰富啊!既看到了五颜六色的烟花，又收到了很多压岁钱，还看到了精彩的春节联欢晚会。不过，过了年，我也大了一岁，要懂事了，要在学习上更加努力。希望下一个春节能赶快到来啊!我爱春节!

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.

Dear John,

How time flies! Four moths have passed since we saw each other last time. I cannot help but miss you. You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I would like to tell you something about it。

The Spring Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is the most important and enjoyable one. A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunionof friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in the country。

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival。

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua
