春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：

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 incoming 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.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：春节正月习俗的英文介绍

The Chinese New Year celebrations are marked by visits to kin, relatives and friends, a practice known as "new-year visits" (Chinese: 拜年; pinyin: bài nián). New clothes are usually worn to signify a new year. The colour red is liberally used in all decorations. Red packets are given to juniors and children by the married and elders. See Symbolism below for more explanation.

On the days before the New Year celebration Chinese families give their home a thorough cleaning. There is a Cantonese saying "Wash away the dirt on ninyabaat" (年廿八，洗邋遢), but the practice is not usually restricted on ninyabaat (年廿八, the 28th day of month 12). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. Brooms and dust pans are put away on the first day so that luck cannot be swept away. Some people give their homes, doors and window-frames a new coat of red paint. homes are often decorated with paper cutouts of Chinese auspicious phrases and couplets. Purchasing new clothing, shoes, and receiving a hair-cut also symbolize a fresh start.

In many households where Buddhism or Taoism is prevalent, home altars and statues are cleaned thoroughly, and altars that were adorned with decorations from the previous year are also taken down and burned a week before the new year starts, and replaced with new decorations. Taoists (and Buddhists to a lesser extent) will also "send gods" (送神), an example would be burning a paper effigy of Zao Jun the Kitchen God, the recorder of family functions. This is done so that the Kitchen God can report to the Jade Emperor of the family households transgressions and good

deeds. Families often offer sweet foods (such as candy) in order to "bribe" the deities into reporting good things about the family.

The biggest event of any Chinese New Years Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Years Eve dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West. In northern China, it is customary to make dumplings (jiaozi 饺子) after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael. By contrast, in the South, it is customary to make a new year cake (Niangao, 年糕) after dinner and send pieces of it as gifts to relatives and friends in the coming days of the new year. Niangao literally means increasingly prosperous year in year out. After the dinner, some families go to local temples, hours before the new year begins to pray for a prosperous new year by lighting the first incense of the year; however in modern practice, many households hold parties and even hold a countdown to the new lunar year. Beginning in the 1980s, the CCTV New Years Gala was broadcast four hours before the start of the New Year.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：First day 初一

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.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Third and fourth days 初三

The third and fourth day of the Chinese New Year are generally accepted as inappropriate days to visit relatives and friends due to the following schools of thought. People may subscribe to one or both thoughts.

1) It is known as "chì kǒu" (赤口), meaning that it is easy to get into arguments. It is suggested that the cause could be the fried food and visiting during the first two days of the New Year celebration.[citation needed]

2) Families who had an immediate kin deceased in the past 3 years will not go house-visiting as a form of respect to the dead, but people may visit them on this day. Some people then conclude that it is inauspicious to do any house visiting at all. The third day of the New Year is allocated to grave-visiting instead.

Tell me about a festival in your country.

Love from,

Lingling

Happy New Year Party

On Happy 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(响亮的) 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(机智的). 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."

When it comes to the beginning of the month of the twelfth lunar month, every family begins to get busy: salted fish, cured meat, and sausages. The grown-ups have to prepare presents for the children. Everyone was jubilant and filled with sweetness and warmth.

On the 24th day of the twelfth month of the twelfth lunar month, when the sky was dark, the firecracker went off. Many people began to wear new clothes, and every family began to prepare elaborate dishes.

On New Years eve, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year was everywhere. There are red and red couplets on the door, and some New Year pictures outside. At night, the lights were blazing and the sound of firecrackers went on all night. The room was steaming, and everyone was happy to eat the dinner, the cup, the laughter. After dinner, the family gathered around the fire to watch the Spring Festival gala. Nearly all of us will be punctual this night.

Its no exaggeration to say that "the Spring Festival is booming". Look! Red spring couplets, red firecrackers, red red envelopes. Red in the auspicious!

Early in the early morning, many people are staying at home and sleeping on New Years eve. Young children like to pay a lot of money, because "pay money".

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival arrived. Some big supermarkets hold guessing lantern riddles. Almost every time the lantern riddle activity, I and my cousin will participate, and each time will guess at a few, get a small gift! In the evening, many shops hang lanterns, but they are almost always the world of e-lanterns. On this day, every family will make dumplings and eat yuanxiao. Of course, the children who set off firecrackers on this day also have to hurry up, because after this day, the Spring Festival is over, and they cant play with firecrackers.

我们家乡鄂州的风俗很多：端午节系艾叶，中秋赏月吃月饼，清明节祭祖……，今天我就给大家讲讲鄂州的春节吧!

“春节到，春节到，大街小巷真热闹”，相信大家对春节一点都不会陌生吧。春节是中国的传统节日，到了腊月初旬，家家户户就开始忙碌了：腌咸鱼，晒腊肉，做腊肠……大人们还要给小孩子们准备礼物。每个人都喜气洋洋，心中泛着甜，窝着暖。

腊月二十四鄂州过小年，天一黑下来，鞭炮就响起了。许多人都开始穿新衣，家家户户也开始准备各种精美的菜肴。

除夕到了，各处都洋溢着过年的气氛。门外都贴上了红红的对联，有的家门外还贴年画。夜里，家家户户灯火通明，鞭炮声一夜不绝。屋里热气腾腾，大家开开心心吃着年夜饭，碰着杯，笑声连绵不断。吃完饭，一家人围在炉火旁，观看春节联欢晚会。这一夜，几乎所有人都会守岁。

“ 红红火火过春节”，这可一点都不夸张。看!红色的春联，红色的鞭炮，红色的红包。红色寓示着吉祥!

大年初一早，许多人都因除夕晚守岁在家睡觉，下午才会拜年。小孩子最喜欢到处拜年，因为“拜年”——“收钱”。

正月十五，元宵节到了。一些大型超市举办猜灯谜活动。几乎每次的灯谜活动，我和表姐都会参加，而且每次都会猜对几个，得到一些小礼品呢!晚上，许多店铺都会挂上灯笼，但几乎都是“电子灯笼”的世界。这一天，家家户户都要包汤圆，吃元宵。当然，这一天爱放鞭炮的孩子们也得抓紧，因为过了这一天，春节就结束了，也就不能玩爆竹了。

“ 爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。”春节带给了我们欢乐和幸福!虽春节已过，但它的余味还在空气中弥漫!

I had a good time during Spring Festival.

This morning,I got up at six oclock.Then I brushed my teeth and washed my face.After that,I had breakfast with my parents.At noon,I went to my grandparents house and visited my aunts,uncles and cousins.In the afternoon,we made dumplings together.In the evening,we had dumplings,sweet and sour pork,and lots of nice dishes for dinner.After dinner,my parents and I went home.We set off fireworks and went to bed then.

压岁钱

春节拜年时，长辈要将事先准备好的压岁钱分给晚辈，据说压岁钱可以压住邪祟，因为“岁”与“祟”谐音，晚辈得到压岁钱就可以平平安安度过一岁。压岁钱有两种，一种是以彩绳穿线编作龙形，置于床脚;另一种是最常见的，即由家长用红纸包裹分给孩子的钱。压岁钱可在晚辈拜年后当众赏给，也可在除夕夜孩子睡着时，家长愉偷地放在孩子的枕头底下。

民间认为分压岁钱给孩子，当“年”去伤害孩子时，孩子可以用这些钱让它化凶为吉。压岁钱牵系着一颗颗童心，而孩子的压岁钱主要用来买鞭炮、玩具和糖果等节日所需的东西。

现在长辈为晚辈分送压岁钱的习俗仍然盛行，压岁饯的数额从几十到几百不等，这些压岁钱多被孩子们用来购买图书和学习用品，新的时尚为压岁钱赋予了新的内容。

Spring Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. On the 30th day of the year, children should pay a New Years greetings to their elders. People want to be reunited with their loved ones and have a New Years eve dinner. To stay at home, watch "Spring Festival gala", while keeping watch; At 12 am, outside the home, the window, downstairs, firecrackers sound deafening, people set off firecrackers, completely intoxicated in the Spring Festival this festive season.

I spent the Spring Festival at my mother-in-laws house. In the evening, I watched the "Spring Festival gala" as usual, and when it was getting closer to 12, the host was counting down "10,9,8... 3,2,1. As the Numbers approached, the sound grew more and more slowly, and continued until 12 o clock. When the countdown is over, our house is busy! "Happy New Year! Chinese New Year! Youre one year older." Then our family went downstairs and set off fireworks. The other day, my uncle bought a lot of firecrackers. There is a gyro, a little bee, a pearl, a world, and a lot of names. The appearance of firecrackers also has many. Flower face, butterfly... Some of heaven and earth ring 20 hair, some of the world sounds 50, and there is another 100. Of all the firecrackers, the most striking is the sound of heaven and earth. Its about the same size as a small table. I can feed four or five people. It is also heavy and requires two or three adults to move. After a long wait, the other firecrackers were finally finished. Thats the beginning! "Knock! Pa! Bam! Pa! Bam! Pa! ...... "The voice was so loud that it was like a loud thunderclap of thunder.

Although I covered my ears, when the sound was too loud, I could hear it. In the last few rounds, "bam! Bam! Bam! Pa! Wow! The explosion of firework, like a flame, scattered all around. It was a magnificent sight! When I got home, my heart was still very long. Who will clean it up? Of course its my aunt and uncle. In order to make nanjing more beautiful, they would sacrifice the time of the New Year, to be honest, meticulous, meticulous and selfless. And are now on duty of the polices uncle aunts, they in order to make the safety of the citizens have a year, in every corner of the city of nanjing, dedicated to patrol the, thought of here, I entered the beautiful dreams...

春节是我国传统节日之一。在年30这天，小朋友们要给长辈拜年，拿红包；人们要和亲人团聚，吃年夜饭；更要在家，一边看“春节联欢晚会”，一边守岁；等到凌晨12点，家外，窗边，楼下，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，人们放着鞭炮，完全沉醉在春节这欢乐的节日中。

我是在婆婆家过的春节。晚上，我照旧在看“春节联欢晚会”，当离12点越来越近时，主持人进行倒计时“10，9，8……3，2，1。”随着数字的接近，声音越来越缓慢，一直延续着，直到12点。当倒计时数完时，我们家热闹起来了了！妈妈高兴的喊道：“过年啦！过年啦！你又长大了一岁。”接着，我们一家下楼放烟火。前几天，舅舅买了许多鞭炮。有地陀螺，有小蜜蜂，有夜明珠，有天地响，还有许多叫不上名字的。鞭炮的样子也有许多。花脸，蝴蝶……有的天地响20发，有的天地响50发，还有的天地响100发。在这么多的鞭炮中，最引人注目的要数一种天地响。它的个头同一个小桌子差不多。能供四五个人吃饭。它的重量也很重，需要两三个成年人才能搬动。等了好久，终于把其他鞭炮放完了。当头好戏开始了！“嘭！啪！嘭！啪！嘭！啪！……”这声音惊天动地，好似雷公公发怒的巨响。

我虽然捂住了耳朵，当声音实在是太大，还是能听见。到了最后几发，“嘭！嘭！嘭！啪！哗哗哗哗哗！！”炸开的烟花如火焰一般向四周散去，那情景非常壮观！回到家，我的心仍然久久不能平静。谁来清理呢？当然是清洁工叔叔阿姨了。他们为了让南京更加美丽，不惜牺牲过年的时间，认认真真、仔仔细细、一丝不苟、无私奉献地打扫。还有，现在正值班的警察叔叔阿姨们，他们为了让市民们安全的过个年，在南京市的每一个角落，兢兢业业地巡逻着，想到这里，我进入了美丽的梦乡……

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.

As has been reported in the newspapers, the sale of firecrackers and fireworks in Beijing was reduced by 52% this Spring Festival compared with last year. This shows that people have begun to change their ideas about celebration.   Firecrackers and fireworks used to be one of the main causes of air pollution and the most important cause of injury during the Spring Festival. Now with fewer firecrackers and fireworks, we see a much clearer sky and many fewer people with injuries, which hasresulted in a much happier festival atmosphere both outside in the street and inside at home. So we can predict that we will see a better environment next year.

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.

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!

Hi! Peter,

I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.

TheSpring Festival isthe most important festivalin China.Itis a custom togive lucky money to children. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, andspend the rest onsome books. This year is no exception(也不例外) and I also got lucky money.With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia，hoping the things can bring some happiness to them.

For you,I think it’s a good idea tobuy a gift with the lucky money for your hostfamilybefore you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Li Hua

Is when I am drunk New Year plan, mom called me to write homework, ah, I love you to come the Spring Festival.

学期就要结束了，春节也快到了，我心里特别兴奋，我早已计划好了这个春节该怎么过，现在日日夜夜盼望的春节终于要来了哦，我一定要过得充实而有意义。

首先，得提前买好对联，把家里的几扇门好好装点一番，让家里到处洋溢出节日的气氛。当然烟花爆竹也必不可少，我特别喜欢烟花飞上天空以后，雨点般的洒落下来的壮丽景观。饺子是春节不可少的食物之一，妈妈亲手做的饺子，鲜嫩无比，回味无穷，我一定要痛痛快快地吃上一顿，解解馋。

其次还得去亲戚朋友家拜年。一进门，我就要“叔叔长、阿姨短”地叫他们，然后把爸爸妈妈买好的礼物送给他们，嘻嘻，亲戚们就会热情地款待我们，端上好吃的点心，摆上糖果，还有我最喜欢的湖南蕾茶，那是用芝麻捣制的，只要用开水一泡，哇，香气扑鼻，让人垂涎欲滴，胃口大开。

然后是吃年夜大餐了，妈妈做的年夜饭可以说是“一绝”了，全家人围坐在一起，尝着丰盛的酒菜，说说笑笑、其乐融融。最喜欢的是看一年一度的春节晚会，里面的节目丰富多彩，有滑稽的小品，动听的歌曲，精彩的表演，给人美的享受。

正在我沉醉新年计划之中的时候，妈妈又喊我写作业了，哎，我热爱的春节你快点到来吧。

The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people.In the past,people could not often have meat,rice or other delicious food.They could only eat these during the Spring festival.So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon.Now,although people‘s life is much better,and we can eat the delicious foods everyday.People still like the festival.Because most people can have a long holiday,and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family.In the evenings,we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programmes.

I like the Spring Festival very much.How wonderful the Spring Festival is!

春节是中国人民非常重要。在过去,人们不可能经常有肉,大米或其他美味的食物。在春节期间他们只能吃这些。所以每一年他们希望春节很快就会来的。现在,虽然人们的生活要好得多,我们可以每天吃美味的食物。人们仍然喜欢这个节日。因为大多数人可以有很长的假期,我们可以去旅行或访问我们的朋友和我们家有聚会。在晚上,我们可以有一顿大餐在餐馆或呆在家里和我的家人看电视节目。

我非常喜欢春节。春节是多么美妙!

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.

Spring Festival is the most important festival in China 。It’s to celebrate the lunar calendar ‘s new year 。In the evening before the Spring Festival ，families get together and have a big meal 。In many places people like to set off firecrackers 。Dumplings are the most traditional food 。Children like the festival very much ，because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes 。They can also get some money from their parents。 This money is given to children for good luck 。 People put New Year scrolls on the wall for good。

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。 Christmas cards bee popular with students。 People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts。 A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on。 Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters。 Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival。

This worry is fairly unnecessary。 Why ？ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。 Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival。 By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family。

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China。 For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals。 For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to wele the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever。

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 (New) 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 celebration.
