Comparison Of Spring Festival and Christmas

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in celebration of the Chinese Lunar New
Year. It originated in the Shang Dynasty from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors
at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one. The Spring Festival falls on the
1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the solar calendar, then comes
to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished. With the new year approaching, every
family is busy preparing for the reunion. People completely clean the indoors and out
doors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils. Men and
women go out to do spring festival shopping. Then people begin decorating their rooms
featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with
spring festival couplets. The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future

makes dumplings. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watch
