Hello,friends!
We are coming back from the Chinese New
Year(CNY)~!
During the Spring festival, I went home,
staying together with my family and visiting my relatives, which has been the custom
of CNY for a very long time.
Let me tell you more about the CNY.
The date of CNY is not according to the solar
calendar,but the lunar calendar. Lunar calendar was created by ancient Chinese,
which was caculated by the moon path around the earth.
CNY is on the 30th or 29th Dec of the lunar
calendar. and the new year begins from the first day of the lunar calendar.
On 30th or 29th Dec
of the lunar calendar, families will get together and have a big dinner. In the
evening, people would keep awake and welcome the new year’s coming.
Fireworks is
a must in the CNY, whoese chinese pinyin is chu xi. Chu xi means get rid of xi
who is a monster in the old days. Setting off fireworks
is to fear the monster. But now, fireworks ae used to make this festival lively.
And now there are many kinds of colorful fireworks for people to get a amazing
sightview.
Visiting
relatives and friends is a custom in the CNY. At ordinary times, relatives and
friends have rare time to get together. CNY give them a chance to get together
and share happiness and sorrow with each other. Through this, the relationship
between them became closer and closer. The CNY is just like a ribbon among
people,linking them together, no matter how many years passed.
Yasuiqian,
which means the money given to children as a lunar New Year gift. Parents and
relatives give their own children or their nephews and nieces money to wish a
good lucky for them in the new year. I got Yasuiqian when I was little, and now
I should give Yasuiqian to children younger than me.
Antithetical
couplet, duilian in Chinese Pinyin is also a must in the CNY. It’s written on
two long strip red paper and one short strip red paper. The long ones are
placed on the two sides of the door and the short one is placed on the top of
the door. Words on the couplets means luck and fortune.
The
Chinese New Year is the biggest festival for Chinese. And we value this
festival so much.
I
will tell you more if I get a chance~
