We call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival. It is the first day of the lunar calendar. Before New Year’s Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year’s Eve, every family has a delicious feast. All the family stays up late to welcome the Festival and people burn firecrackers to greet it. On the first day of the Spring Festival, people put on their new clothes and visit their relatives and friends. When meeting, they say “Good luck” and other greetings to each other. And children are very happy because they can get the lucky money from their parents and relatives. On the Festival, there are lion dances and some other activities, which last at least three days. People usually have a very good time during the festival.

The Spring Festival, the Lunar New Year, is the first year of the year and also the traditional "New Year's Day".
春节，即农历新年，是一年之岁首，亦为传统意义上的“年节”。
Spring Festival has a long history, which evolved from the first year of prayer in ancient times.
春节历史悠久，由上古时代岁首祈年祭祀演变而来。
During the Spring Festival, various activities are held throughout the country to celebrate the Spring Festival, with a lively and festive atmosphere.
在春节期间，全国各地均有举行各种庆贺新春活动，热闹喜庆的气氛洋溢。
There is a legend about the origin of the Spring Festival.
春节的来历有一种传说。
In ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, with long antennae and unusual ferocity.
中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。
Nian lived deep in the sea for many years.
“年”长年深居海底。
He did not climb ashore until New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and hurting people's lives.
每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。
Therefore, on New Year's Eve, people take the old and the young to escape to the mountains to avoid the harm of the Nian.
因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。
Later on New Year's Eve, an old beggar from outside the village told people how to drive out the Nian.
后来有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人，告知了人们驱赶“年”兽的办法。
Originally, Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion.
原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。
Since then, every New Year's Eve, families stick red couplets and set off firecrackers.
从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹。
Households have bright candles and wait for the new year.
户户烛火通明、守更待岁。
In the early morning of the Eleventh day, we have to go to relatives and friends to say hello.
初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。
This custom has become the most solemn traditional festival among Chinese people.
这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

各国的“年节”
周边国家一直受中国文化的影响。在韩国、朝鲜和越南，农历新年是一年之中最重要的节日。在朝鲜半岛，农历新年被称为“年节”或“旧正”，正月初一至初三是全民族的法定假日。越南农历新年假期从除夕至正月初三，加上周六日换休，共6天。
一些华人聚居的东南亚国家也将农历新年定为法定假日。在新加坡，正月初一至初三是公共假期。马来西亚华人占总人口的四分之一，政府将正月初一和初二定为法定假日。华人众多的印度尼西亚和菲律宾，2003年和2004年分别将农历新年定为全国公共节日，但菲律宾不放假。
日本曾按旧历（类似农历）过年。从1873年起改用新历后，虽然日本大部分地区不过旧历新年，但是冲绳县、鹿儿岛县的奄美群岛等地区还保留着完整的旧历年俗。
