Moder : Can you tell me something about the Spring Festival
I: Just like you celebrate Christmas, we celebrate our lunar New Year’s Day, the Spring Festival. It’s also a time for family reunion and express our best wishes to the loved ones in the coming new year.
Moder : The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, isn’t it What will you do at that time
I: Yes, that’s true. Before its coming, we paste the couplets, sweep the dust and decorate our houses. On the New Year’s Eve, we have a big rich “Family Reunion Dinner”, after which we often enjoy the Spring Festival Gala, chatting & laughing happily till the mid-night, etc.. During the holiday, we pay new year calls to our relatives and friends, usually greeting each other “Happy Chinese New Year”first.
Moder : I hear that children are always looking forward to the Festival.
I: Of course, as they can get much lucky money and many red envelopes, along with playing fireworks and firecrackers joyfully accompanied by adults . It’s a quite relaxing holiday for them.
Moder : Wow, amazing. I’m told the Chinese fireworks are very fantastic. By the way, how long is the holiday
I: It depends. But people usually have about 7 days off.
