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
to
good
luck
for
the
new
year.

character
“

”

is

dao
le
”

more,
red
paper-
cuttings
can
be

on
window
glass
and

the clock strikes twelve, and
then
they
let off
various
fireworks outdoors to see
the Old
Year
off
and
