The Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is a very important festival in China. It’s on the first day of the first lunar month. Before the Spring Festival, people have bought presents, like, meat, fruit, flowers drinks and some things for themselves.
Spring Festival, also know as the lunar New Year, is the greatest traditional festival. It is usually a time between late January or early February, which means rest and relaxation between winter and spring after a year's toil, and means celebration as well. Before the Spring Festival, people clean their house, put red couplets on their gates, and set off firecrackers, according to fairy tale, for driving a demon, named “Nian” away. On the eve of the Spring Festival, a get-together banquet is a must, and the most popular food is Dumpling, which is supposed to bring good fortune. On the first day of the new year, everybody wears new clothes and greets relatives and friends with bows and congratulations wishing each other lucky during the new year.
