How do we celebrate Spring Festival?
The Spring Festival is the biggest traditional festival for Chinese people .It usually lasts for 15 days.
Days before the festival, people clean their homes. They think cleaning sweeps away bad luck. They decorate their homes with Spring Festival couplets and lanterns.
On the eve of spring festival, Family members get together and have big meals. Then they watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, they set off fireworks to welcome the new year . During the festival, kids get lucky money form older people visit their relatives and friends. The wish each other a happy yeaur and good luck.
Spring Festival is a time to make people happy ,so don’t say any words that have bad meanings, like “death”. Don’t break anything .If you do ,say “sui sui ping’an”at once. It’s believed that good words can change bad luck. Also,don’t borrow or lend money on these days. People think it will bring bad luck.
