According to t
the traditional
Chinese lunar
calendar,the Spring Festival,also known as Chinese
New Year,begins with the New Moon and ends up
with the Full Moon.That is from the New Year's Day
to the Lantern Festival.
The origin of the Spring
Festival is hard to say clearly.
However,it is believed that the
word Nian was first the name of a
monster().It ate humans at the night before the
beginning of a new year.People were very scared.
Accidentally,people found that Nian was afraid of
three things-red,fire and loud noise.So later people
would get together on New Year's Eve when Nian was
about to arrive,and put up red paper,hang red
lanterns and set off fireworks in order to drive away
the monster.The three special things did help.In this
way,Nian never came back again.From then on,when
the monster is driven away,people will always happily
say,“▲
There are many
traditional activities in the
festival,such as hanging red lanterns and
getting
dressed in new clothes.The most important one is
having family dinner together with all the family
members on New Year's Eve.No matter how difficult
优
the trip is and no matter how far they are away from
home,people will come back home at the end of this
year.Home,for every Chinese,is the only destination
at this time.Of course,in the family dinner,delicious
food is a must.Jiaozi and tangyuan are special food
for New Year.People think if one can eat the jiaozi
with a coin,he or she can have good luck next year.
For tangyuan,people in the north of China like
eating salty ones,while people in the south of China
prefer sweet ones.
How wonderful the Spring Festival is!
