向外国人介绍中国的春节！
The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.
对中国人来说，春节是最重要的节日，春节是家里所有的成员相聚的时刻，就像西方的圣诞节一样。所有远离家乡的人都会回来，因此春运交通系统最繁忙的时刻大约持续半个月。机场，火车站和长途汽车站挤满了回家的人们。
The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.
春节是阴历的第一天，通常比阳历晚一个月。春节起源于商朝（公元前1600-公元前1100年）人们在年末岁初的时候供奉上帝和祖先。
Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.
严格来讲，春节每年于阴历第十二个月的早些时候一直持续到下一年的阴历第一个月。在这段期间，最重要的日子就是除夕和正月初一至初三这几天。
中国政府现在规定人们在春节休假七天。
