The Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, falls on the first day of the first lunar month. It is the most important traditional festival in China.
There is a legend about the Spring Festival. Nian, the monster, came out on the last night of every year to eat humans and animals. But people discovered a secret: Nian was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the colour red. So people set off fireworks and firecrackers, hung red lanterns, and put Spring Festival couplets on the doors. This way, they could drive away Nian and bring good luck for the coming year.
There are lots of customs for the Spring Festival. People always clean their homes and buy new clothes for a fresh start to the new year. They prepare delicious dishes with care and love. In northern China, almost every family makes dumplings. Many people stay up late on the eve of the Festival and set off firecrackers at midnight for good luck. Parents or grandparents give lucky money to children. People go to temple fairs and watch dragon and lion dances.
The Spring Festival is a wonderful opportunity for family members to gather, enjoy a meal, and celebrate the New Year together!
