How are you I'm really glad that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China, such as the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and so on. I'd like to introduce the Spring Festival to you. The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, It usually lasts 15 days,
Days before the festival, people clean their houses. They think cleaning sweeps bad luck. They decorate their houses with paper cutting. On the eve of the 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 from elders. People visit their relatives and friends. They wish each a happy year and good luck. How happy they are!
Yours,
Li Lei
