the Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. It is to celebrate Chinese new year. The most exciting things are eating dumplings, watching fireworks, and getting together with families in the new year evening. The reason we eat the dumpling is because of a story, that dumplings look like ears, so to eat them can protect ears, and to protect ear is a way to get rid of the cold winter. The Spring Festival will be continued as long as a month, but most people come back to work after the fifteenth day, which people watch fireworks and get together with families again. In former time, the winter is too cold to farm, so people stay at home to eat food they stored, and this festival give them a chance to relax and prepare for the plantation of the next year. However, nowadays, people use this holiday to go vacation, or to do anything they like, but the most important thing is to reunion with families, and children can get some pocket money from elders.
