Spring Festival

Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It’s a beginning that is new and full of luck for Chinese.

A few days before the Spring Festival, people will clean their house and do some shopping. They’re busy days for adults because of much house’s work. But children always look forward to the coming of those days, which is due to buying much delicious food and many beautiful clothes. All seems new during those days.

In the New Year’s Eve, children will have their bodies cleaned and dress nice clothes early. Why do they seem to be poppet? Because adults always give more lucky mone y to the good children.

In the evening, all the members of family will sit around the table and have a big meal. Fish and meat often appears on the table. After the dinner, many families will watch TV together and enjoy the Party of Spring Festival on CCTV. At twelve o’clock, they w ill count

seconds, “three, two, one” and say “Happy New Year” to

each other. In the countries, some people will set off

fireworks to celebrate the New Year.

The next morning, people don’t eat meat. Instead, they have dumplings. And then, adults will visit their friends and relatives with their children. It’s a good job for children because they can get more lucky money to buy things they like.
