春节（Spring Festival）

Spring Festival falls on a different date each year. According to the lunar calendar, it's dictated by the first new moon closest to the beginning of spring.

中国的春节每年的日期都不一样。根据农历，春节的具体时间是最接近春天开始的第一个新月日。

春联（Paper scrolls）

Paper scrolls are normally put up on both sides of the doorway. There are certain strict rules to mirror the words, like if there is a character on the left-hand side that saying, sky, for example, there should be one on the right-hand side saying ground, and if there is rain, there is wind. If there is red, there is green. So it is kind of a thing that brings good blessing and good wishes for the New Year.

春联一般贴在门的两边。词的对仗有很严格的规定，如果左联上有一字，比如“天”字，右联必须有个“地”字，“雨”对“风”，“红”对“绿”。因此是语意万千，希望新年带来祝福和好运。

大年初一需要注意规矩：

Rule number one.

第一条规矩。

No medicine on the first day of the lunar New Year, because it is believed that if you take any medicine on the first day of the year, you will be ill all year. That is no good.

农历大年初一不能吃药，据说如果你在初一吃了药，你全年身体都会不好。这可不妙。

Rule two, no porridge.

第二条，不能喝粥。

It is a peasant food and you will be eating poor food and be poor all year if you eat porridge on the first day of the year.

据说粥是以前乡下人吃的东西，吃了穷人的东西就会变穷，新年第一天喝了粥，一年都可能会穷。

Rule three, no sweeping.

第三条，不能打扫卫生。

Because it means you are sweeping away the wealth of the new year to come. Make sense.

如果搞了卫生，就会把新年里的财运统统扫掉，有道理

中国人过春节至少已有4000年以上的历史。在民间，旧时传统意义上的春节是指从腊月的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十九日。在现代，人们把春节定于农历正月初一，但一般至少要到农历正月十五（上元节）新年才算结束。

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。
