eginning the year during cold weather is that it is the time between the ”autumn harvest and winter storage and “spring plowing and summer weeding”.In other words, this is the time for rest and relaxation after a year's toil ,and for celebration as well.In addition to the practical reasons of having the Spring Festival during the cold weather,a Chinese folklore offers another explanation.According to Chinese legends, a demon called Nian would torment people once a year during the winter time.So people gathered together to discuss how to deal with Nian.Some suggested that the demon was afraid of the red color,flames and loud noises.So they put paired red couples on their gates, set off firecrackers and beat gongs and drums to drive away Nian.These acts worked and Nian fled, Thus, the customs of celebrating the Spring Festival were born and passed down until today.The eve of the Spring Festival is a time for the whole family to get together for a big dinner party.So no matter how far away a family members is from his home, he will try this best to come back in time for the family reunion dinner.Fish is a must on the dinner table, as it has the same sound as “surplus” and whole family will usually watch the holiday special TV programmes together.At midnight, people used to set off firecrackers to bring in the new year.but recent
years this custom has been forbidden in cities because of the fear of causing a fire.Instead , townspeople put on electric firecrackers or red lanterns.Some people also post painting of the Door God on the gates,while some post a big Chinese character“Fu(blessing)” in an upside down way, meaning the blessing has arrived at the door.The Spring Festival lasts 3 days.On the first day, people put on their new clothes and shoes and exchange new year greetings with their neighbours and relatives.They will greet each other with“Happy New Year”, “wish you a happy and prosperous year” Children especially like the Spring Festival, as they can get "lucky money(that means money wrapped in a red paper envelop wishing them good luck)from their parents and relatives, lion dances and dragon dances are performed, especially in the countryside, besides, people play Mahjong at home.
