I am writing to tell you about it. The Spring Festival has a long history, which was originally celebrated to scare away a fierce beast1 "Nian". Slightly different from that in the past, it is now given new meanings and regarded as a way for people enjoy the reunion with their families2 however far they live or work. 1 On the New Year’s Eve, each family has its members gathered together3. They tell each other their lives4 in the past year exchange gifts5 and eat a lot of delicious meals in the warmth of the family1. Children can get lucky money2 in red envelops. People have a good time, holding opera performances6, and other celebrations. I hope you will come here and experience this wonderful festival. Yours, Li Hua My favorite Spring Festival The Spring Festival, falling on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the most important festival for all Chinese people. Although I have experienced it many times, it is still an enjoyable and exciting experience. Days before the Spring Festival, I helped my parents clean the room completely, decorated my house with papercuts, prepared delicious food, and stuck couplets, eagerly waiting for the coming of the New Year’s Eve . On the Eve of the festival, my family members enjoyed getting together to have a big meal, including the tasty dumplings, fish and so on as we watched the Spring Gala, which was really a feast for the eyes. My parents gave me some lucky money in red paper and I was so excited that I stayed up to welcome the new year. Although feeling tired, I was extremely happy because the Festival provides a valuable chance for us to enjoy as well as be proud of our customs. I’m looking forward to the coming of the next Spring Festival. 2.元宵节
