I have been asked to talk about a popular festival, so I'd like to tell you all about Spring Festival. The festival is basically a celebration of the new year and a farewell to the old year. According to the lunar calendar, Chinese New Year should start sometime in early February or late January. It is celebrated just to usher in a new year and to get rid of the demons from the older generation. I don't know the history of the New Year Festival that well. I only know that it is a festival that has basically been celebrated in a very similar way for hundreds of years, and that it mixes a bit of religion, superstition and festivity of the new season. I do know that it used to be celebrated a lot in the streets with a big parade and two dragons chasing a ball. We still do that now, but not as much; mostly you will find that at the Miao Hui carnivals.

People celebrate it by decorating their house with various emblems and also by getting together, having a big dinner, and giving hongbao, which actually means "red packets" . You see, in our Spring Festival we don't give presents. Instead, a married couple will give a single relative or friend a red packet with money in it. As for the dinner, it can vary-there's no dinner that we have to eat. In the west, I know you usually eat turkey. But in Beijing most people eat dumplings, and part of the fun is just sitting around and making them. Together with all our family members, we often sit around and gamble by playing cards or Mahjong, which is a very famous type of game with chips, played a bit like Bridge, but of course much different. On the second day, we often go around and visit friends. Another way people celebrate Spring Festival is by dressing up in new clothes, and we often go out and attend what we call Miao Hui, which are simply outdoor carnivals, which basically sell a lot of things, and they hold a few events like Chinese opera.

I think that the reason Spring Festival is so popular is because a lot of our economy is planned around it. I mean even though we do think of January as the beginning of the year officially, many think of Spring Festival as the real beginning of the financial year. Also, because the holiday stretches for 15 days, it gives many people a chance to reunite with their family for the longest period of the year. In that sense you could say that it is like Christmas in the west.

Well, I would like to talk about the Mid-Autumn festival, which is a very important Chinese traditional festival. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. On this day, the moon is usually round and bright, which was considered by the ancients as the symbol of family reunion. So the family get-together means a lot on this day. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union. I always celebrate this festival together with my parents and some relatives. We usually have dinner together on that day. My mother and aiunts would prepare the dinner, •〇r while my father and uncles would help set the table and prepare snacks and beverages. My cousins and I play games in the yard. After the dinner, we would gather in the yard and enjoy the moon while eating the moon-cakes. Eating mooncakes is a custom on the mid-autumn festival. WeVe got different flavors of mooncakes and Chinese people will send mooncakes as gifts to their relatives and friends before the festival. I think this festival is quite important because I cherish the time when family members stay together and share their happiness. As we are now very busy, we rarely have time to accompany our family members, especially those who live far away. These traditional festivals provide us the chances to reunion. We can learn their recent experience, express our feelings on a certain thing and offer advice for each other.
