The Spring Festival春节英语作文

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. the dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the GREgorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year’s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.

The winter vacation, the Spring Festival, not what can be more symbolic than firecrackers, during the Lunar New Year holiday, the first idea is to set off firecrackers on the street, see the brightly coloured fireworks is a heart itch.

We are back to uncle home a day this year, brother and sister-in-law are "generous", bought a lot of firecrackers in the corner, we saw the child, did not forget to peruse, touch on a few, while this is good, while the good, and some day There were many discussions. From the new year, when their distribution of firecrackers the list of bills.

We can endure the temptation, dont shout, we tried to make it can scarcely wait in front of adults, so they take us back to an exciting, can these people, like we play like teasing, blind, but no one would dare to put forward, it will inevitably. First, so we picked the iron heart, those gadgets, is not easy to detect the box gun hidden in the bag and ran away to steal, we all cherish it! Who have 10 pieces of cannon cleaning hidden in the hidden bag, each other do not stop said: "first put you the more you." "I have no, I do not believe you." "Talk and count it out to me." "Thats no good." "Lets put you." "Mora who lost who" each gun had inevitably twitter controversy, for trouble, also had their own respective, to put aside. From the bag carefully pulled out a root to the ground, then look for a long time, for fear of accidentally brought out off the ground, confirm no later, then took out the eraser box, a wipe, wipe away a head poked out the flame, a walk away, people far away, and then cover your ears, all eyes. The top of a smoking gun, only to be snapped, jumping is happy, after a while, the fried greasy, they all want to see water gun in the water, not easy to find a small puddle, "this is what I find, you dont" grab "is not for you, I then inevitably some unreasonable, then, I do not know who shouted," ignition." They are back to the speaker lit and thrown, simply even ears are not covered, PA, the water splashed up here, he screamed again, this can be in the water like shooting on land that is easy, it is necessary to experience. I have seen carefully the experienced cannon. I saw that he did not throw it directly after burning it, but he would burn it for half a second and throw it into the water again, so he would throw it repeatedly, or it would be extinguished in the water, which would be a great waste of firecrackers, which is not what we would like to do.

This game a few days later, went to the first day of the new year, at that time, the novelty will be played out, we were more interested. At that time, thousands of households are out shooting, that battle, like battlefield two, we look for the shuttle in the middle there is no fried surplus, it is very lucky to get it, but we still dont give up the 0. 001%s hope.

Until the second day of the new year, firecrackers suddenly stopped, so neat, so coincidentally, occasionally one or two sound system sound, and more people feel quiet, empty, so soon after the Lunar New Years day, yes, really over, that moment, our work is only to wait, wait for the next a long spring festival.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.
