The Spring Festival The Spring Festival, also known as the lunar New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. According to Chinese legends, Nian was originally the name of a monster beast.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, it is a folk custom to stay up late or even all night. A get-together banquet is usually a must for every Chinese family. The most popular food is jiaozi, or dumplings. People wear new clothes, set off firecrackers and put up couplets on the gates. Moreover, people go out to visit relatives and friends. For many children, The Spring Festival offers them a special chance to receive “lucky money”.
All in all, the spring Festival is really an exciting and colorful day, on which people enjoy themselves eating, drinking and gathering.
