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

comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished. With the new year
