THE SPRING FESTIVAL

The Spring Festival, the Lunar New Year, is the first year of the year and also the traditional "New Year's Day".Spring Festival has a long history, which evolved from the first year of prayer in ancient times.During the Spring Festival, various activities are held throughout the country to celebrate the Spring Festival, with a lively and festive atmosphere.There is a legend about the origin of the Spring Festival.In ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, with long antennae and unusual ferocity.Nian lived deep in the sea for many years.He did not climb ashore until New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and hurting people's lives.Therefore, on New Year's Eve, people take the old and the young to escape to the mountains to avoid the harm of the Nian.

Nian

Later on New Year's Eve, an old beggar from outside the village told people how to drive out the Nian.Originally, Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion.Since then, every New Year's Eve, families stick red couplets and set off  firecrackers.Households have bright candles and wait for the new year.In the early morning of the Eleventh day, we have to go to relatives and friends to say hello.This custom has become the most solemn traditional festival among Chinese people.

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation.

He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken.

They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted. He shouted our, "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle.

While he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

My Spring Festival Last year’s Spring Festival is special. My uncle and my aunt came back from Shanghai.My family were very happy to keep the Spring Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.On the first day of the New Year, we visited our relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year. On the second and the third days, we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We all enjoyed ourselves. I had an interesting Spring Festival.

How about you？

Let's work hard together！
