Chinese New Year is the most important festival of the year. Chinese people celebrate(庆祝) the festival in different ways. But their wishes are almost the same: They all wish their families and friends good health and good luck for the coming year. Here are some Chinese New year activities.
*House cleaning
Cleaning one’s house before New Year’s Eve is a very old tradition(传统). Cleaning the house means saying goodbye to the “old”. This is also a kind of good wish for luck and fortune(财运).
*New Year Feast(年夜饭)
The New Year Feast is a special dinner when all the family members get together. Everyone in the family must go to this feast. After the feast, families sit together and do “shousui” This means staying up late or all night on New Year’s Eve to wait for the New Year to come.
*Waiting for the first bell ringing
The first bell ringing means the coming of Chinese New Year. Some people like to go to a large square(广场) to wait for the bell ringing. But for some people, they’d like to stay with their family, watch TV, and wait for the first bell at home.
*Setting off firecrackers(放鞭炮)
Lighting firecrackers is one of the most important customs during Chinese New Year.
