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.
The chinese character
“
fu
”
is a must. The character put on paper can
be pasted upside down, for in chinese the
“
reversed fu
”
is pronounced
as
“
fu dao le
”
. What's more, red paper-cuttings can be seen on window
glass
and
brightly
colored
new
year
paintings
with
auspicious
meaning
may be put on the wall. In china, people always celebrate and spend the
Spring
Festival
together
with
their
parents
and
children
at
home.
No
wonder many people hurry home even from thousands of miles away, whether
they
are
living
or
working
abroad.
This
is
the
tradition
handed
down
from remote antiquity. People attach great importance to Spring Festival
Eve. At that time, all family members enjoy eating as many as over 10 to
16 courses of delicious dishes. In particular, almost every family makes
dumplings.
After
the
dinner,
the
whole
family
will
sit
together,
chatting
and
watch
TV.

Festival
