Hello everybody! Today is the first day of Spring Festival.And yesterday is Spring Festival’s eve.
Spring Festival is Chinese traditional festival, it’s the most important festival in China (as important as Christmas in some country ,or more than).
But don’t think that the spring festival is the fixed day .It ‘s depend on lunar calendar, it will be different day in different year.So can’t make sure.
In China,during Spring Festival ,Chinese usually stick the couplets on the gate ‘s two side,,left side and right side.On the top it’s the topic,and on the couplets people will write good words or best whishes on it,and sometimes the sentence or the words there seems like Chinese poem.
And we also like to stick the word “lucky” also means “happiness” on the wall or on the middle of the door.
People like hang the “lucky” upside down,it means the lucky and the happiness has arrived.
Some “lucky” by print ,some of them are handwriting.Here has the handwriting about “lucky”,it’s the normal way to write not upside down.
The penman use different styles of calligraphy to write the “lucky”
There also has some others style about “lucky”
In the eve day ‘s night ,Family’s member will gather together.
We eat dumplings,and before share the delicious dinner ,we will bust the firecracker,it means bring good luck and have a ebullient start for next year.
I said that today is the first day of the new year,so people will visit friends today and send best whishes to each other, for now u can send message ,give a call and say “guo nian hao”(Chinese new years greeting,it means have a good luck year)
And tomorrow is the second day of Spring Festival,it’s the day for u visit your relative,especially for daughter visit her parents.
Ok,today I just tell you some of this,by the way,in China ,there has a custom,maybe u know,that’s the children will ask the “red paper poke” from the elder. it means red paper containing money as a gift
So just speak out your best whishes to ask the “red pake”.
OK, Here I wish my my family and all my friends and people around the world lucky and happiness all the year.
