Chinese Spring Festival, also called Lunar New Year, has more than 4,000 years of history. Being one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it is the grandest and the most important festival for Chinese people. It is also the time for the whole families to get together, which is similar with Christmas Day to the westerners. Originating during the Shang Dynasty (about 17th - 11th century BC), Spring Festival, which celebrates family reunion, is full of rich and colorful activities, and hopes with theadventof spring and flowers blossoming. People from different regions and different ethnic groups celebrate it in their unique ways.
It comes on the first day of Chinese lunar calendar and lasts for almost half of a month. But in folk custom, this traditional holiday lasts from the 23rd day of the twelfth month to the 15th day of the first month (Lantern Festival) in the lunar calendar. Among these days, the New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year is the peak time. The exact days are different in every year according to the lunar calendar.
It is said that the custom of Spring Festival started in when people offered sacrifice to ancestors in the last month of Chinese lunar calendar. At that time, people prepared the sacrifice by doing thorough cleaning, having bathes and so on. Later, people began to worship differentdeitiesas well on that day. It is the time that almost all the farm works were done and people have free time. The sacrificing time changed according to the farming schedule and was not fixed until the Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD). The customs of worshipping deities and ancestors remains even though the ceremonies are not as grand as before. It is also the time that spring is coming, so people held all kinds of ceremonies to welcome it.
Preparing the New Year starts 7 days before the New Year’s Eve. According to Chinese lunar calendar, people start to clean the house on Dec. 24, butcher on Dec. 26th and so on. People have certain things to do on each day. These activities will end Jan. 15th of the lunar calendar.
Every family does a thorough house cleaning and purchases enough food, including fish, meat, roasted nuts and seeds, all kinds of candies and fruits, etc, for the festival period. Also, new clothes must be bought, especially for children. Red scrolls with complementary poetic couplets, one line on each side of the gate, are pasted at every gate. The Chinese character 'Fu' is pasted on the center of the door and paper-cut pictures adorn windows.
The Spring Festival is a start for a new year, so it is regarded as theomenof a year. People have many taboos during this period. Many bad words related to “death”, “broken”, “killing”, “ghost” and “illness” or “sickness” are forbidden during conversations. In some places, there are more specific details. They consider it unlucky if thebarrelof rice is empty,because they think they will have nothing to eat in the next year. Taking medicine is forbidden on this day, otherwise, people will have sick for the whole year and take medicine constantly.
Food during this happy event has its characteristics, which is the representative of Chinese festival food culture. Dumplings and the reunion dinner are indispensable at this time. Cold and hot dishes are all served. Fish is always an important dish then, which expresses people’s hope of having a wealthy year.
In China, different places have their own traditions and activities to celebrate the Spring Festival. Beijing, Guangzhou, Xian and Pingyao are some good places to go if one intends to come during the time period. If one does not want to travel so long, but still want to enjoy the atmosphere of Chinese New Year, the local Chinatown is the best place.
中国的春节,也被称为农历新年,迄今已有四千多年的历史。对于中国人来说,这是规模最大,最重要的传统节日。就如同西方的圣诞节一样,春节是一家团聚的日子。春节起源于商朝(公元前11-17世纪),为了庆祝全家团圆和表达对春暖花开的期盼,节日期间会准备丰富多彩的活动。不同地区和不同少数民族人们会用自己独特的方式庆祝这一传统节日。
春节从农历新年第一天开始,几乎要持续一整个月。但在民间传统中,这一节日从腊月23日就开始了,直到正月十五(元宵节)。在这些天里,除夕和春节第一天是最热闹的时候。根据农历,每年除夕和春节所在的公历日期都有所不同。
据说,春节起初源于人们在农历腊月祭祀先祖,在那期间,人们为了祭祀会做大扫除,沐浴换衣等等。后来人们开始在那一天敬奉神明。春节期间正好各种农耕活动结束,人们有空余时间。最开始的祭祀日期由于农耕活动并不固定,直到汉朝(公元前202年-公元220年)才固定下来。祭祀神明和先祖的传统延续下来,但并不像以前那样浩大。春节也是春天的开始,所以人们会举办各种仪式迎接春天的到来。
新年的准备工作在除夕前的七天就开始了。根据中国农历,人们从腊月二十四开始打扫屋子,二十六日杀猪宰羊等等。每一天都有不同的活动,所有这些活动将在正月十五结束。
过年期间,每家每户都会做大扫除,购买丰富的食物,包括鱼肉坚果,水果糖果等。另外,春节必须买新衣服,尤其是给小孩子购买。门上贴上新对联和福字,窗户上还要贴上窗花。
春节是新的一年的开始,预示着一年的运气,所以过年期间有很多禁忌,比如“死”“破”“杀”“鬼”“病”这类字眼是谈话中要避免的。在某些地方还有一些特殊的禁忌,比如新年米缸空了不是好兆头,因为这预示着新的一年将没东西吃,春节那天也不能吃药,这会预示着新的一年疾病产生,医药不断。
春节期间的食物也很有特色,代表着中国传统饮食文化,饺子和团圆饭是不可或缺的,冷盘热菜都得上,鱼也是春节一道重要的菜肴,它代表了人们年年有余的`期望。
在中国,不同的地方庆祝春节的方式和传统各不相同。北京、广州、西安和平遥是不错的春节去处。如果国外的朋友不想去这么远的地方,当地的中国城是感受春节氛围的好地方。

Good afternoon everyone.I’m Wu Yunfei y ,I’ll talk about the topic about spring festival .
The Spring festival ,Chinese New Year,is the most important festival for all us. But we find the western festival become more popular than New Year in the recently years. some people wonder whether the Christmas will replace the Spring Festival in the can find easily Christmas cards become popular with while the Spring Festival is less appealing to this worry is fairly unnecessary we should treasure the Spring Festival forever?
In my opinion ,the Spring Festival as the most influential traditional festival have important meaning for us ral days before the new year， people begin to prepare. Farmers kill pigs，sheep，cocks and hens. City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables. Houses are cleaned； coupletsare (春联)posted on the doors. Colorful lanterns are hung at the family members will get together on New Year Eve to have a big meal . During which people do not work except for the workers on duty. Students do not go to school,and shops are closed. At the same time ,everyone celebrates to each other . When people meet on the way， they say to each other "Happy New Year" about 12 o'clock，some parents and children light whole sky is lighted brightly. We may watch the fireworks excitedly. How busy it is！ On the first early
morning of one year，Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other. At that time，children are the happiest because they can get many red packets form their parents，grandparents,uncles,aunts and so on.
(综上所述) :I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.

I'm very glad to stand here again. As we can know, today is the last class of our English speech course, and the winter holiday is coming, we are going to have a 45-days-holiday at least.
However, the new year holiday is too short for the working people, according to the regulations of the state, there are only 7 days federal holidays for the working people. Several years later, all of us should participate in work, so this problem is closely related to each of us.
Firstly, do the words "spring festival" reminds you of something which happen every year, and it is too crowded and makes people exhausted? I think some of you can get the answer.
It is the Spring Transportation. Going home for Spring Festival is a traditional custom of Chinese people, but millions of people's travels bring a great pressure on traffic, especially in such a short time.
"7 days holiday, 4 days on the way. " But the resources of the tickets are very limited, so the people who can buy the tickets are well off, others who are not lucky enough to get the ticket quickly should spend the New Year in a strange land.
Secondly, in fact, short vacation of the spring festival has brought a lot of serious problems. When the official announced the plan of the new year holiday, Xinlang, a famous media did a survey on the satisfaction degree of it, more than 70 % of the people are dissatisfied with the plan. Most
of them wanted more time for relaxed, or they would have less passion for their work in the next year. A netizen called Teemo said he always felt angry when every year he said goodbye to his family and came back to work.
Nowadays, fewer people choose to leave home for work. Lots of companies in the eastern coastal area are facing bankruptcy, because no workers engaged in production activities. So do my parents' company. This situation is not good for the eastern region's economic development.
So, we can expect, if the new year holiday can be longer for the working people, maybe it will make the reunion of families more convenient and let people celebrate the Spring festival with a good mood. Also, the problems we mentioned above could be solved. Thank you!

January first. The beginning of a new year. As far back in history as we can tell, people have celebrated the start of a new year.
The people of ancient Egypt began their new year in summer. That is when the Nile River flooded its banks, bringing water and fertility to the land. The people of ancient Babylonia and Persia began their new year on March twenty-first, the first day of spring. And, some Native American Indians began their new year when the nuts of the oak tree became ripe. That was usually in late summer.
Now, almost everyone celebrates New Year's Day on January first. Today, as before, people observe the New Year's holiday in many different ways.
The ancient Babylonians celebrated by forcing their king to give up his crown and royal clothing. They made him get down on his knees and admit all the mistakes he had made during the past year.
This idea of admitting wrongs and finishing the business of the old year is found in many societies at new year's. So is the idea of making resolutions. A resolution is a promise to change your ways. To stop smoking, for example. Or to get more physical exercise.
Noise-making is another ancient custom at the new year. The noise is considered necessary to chase away the evil spirits of the old year. People around the world do different things to make a lot of noise. They may hit sticks together. Or beat on drums. Or blow horns. Or explode fireworks.
Americans celebrate the New Year in many ways.
Most do not have to go to work or school. So they visit family and friends. Attend church services. Share a holiday meal. Or watch new year's parades on television. Two of the most famous parades are the Mummer's Parade in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Both have existed for many years.
Americans also watch football on television on New Year's Day. Most years, university teams play in special holiday games.
For those who have been busy at work or school, New Year's may be a day of rest. They spend the time thinking about, and preparing for, the demands of the new year.
