The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. It is also known as the Chinese New Year. All people living away from home go back and hope for reunion. 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.　　

There are many traditional activities to celebrate the festival, such as to do a thorough cleaning to have a new look for the new year, to paste handwritten couplets on front doors to bring good luck, to conduct Yangge dance and lion dance to increase the festival atmosphere, to prepare a variety of foods to treat the family, friends and relatives. During the festival, people show their wishes to their relatives and friends, and Chinese people call this activity bainian. It is when the adults give lucky money to children. There is a special food for the festival. It is called dumplings Chinese people call jiaozi. People often get together and must have dumplings. The festival marks the end of a past year and a good beginning of a new year in Chinese tradition.
