Chinese Traditional Festivals Essay

1. Chinese Traditional Festivals Essay: 'Spring Festival'

"Wearing new clothes, wearing new hats, putting up couplets and setting off firecrackers, everyone welcomes the arrival of the New Year!" January 1 of the lunar calendar is the New Year, which is a joyful and peaceful day, and the grandest of the traditional Chinese festivals. However, in the legend, 'New Year' is a monster that makes people fearful and terrified.

Legend has it that there is a monster called Nian, he is very fierce, often for the human world, and finally a magical old man wearing red clothes, red couplets, firecrackers, light a fire, and finally defeated 'Nian'. It turned out that 'Nian' was very afraid of red color, fire and explosions, and so the custom of celebrating 'Nian' was passed down.

As far as I can remember, New Year's Eve is an extremely happy event and a time to get rid of the old and welcome the new. Every New Year's Eve, our whole family was busy, my father was washing the curtains and cleaning the room, my mother was preparing the New Year's money and buying new clothes, my grandpa was wrapping dumplings and making a big meal in the kitchen, while my grandma was busy making appointments with friends and relatives for one delicious meal after another.

My brother and I were the youngest and most active in the family, and the two of us worked very well together, hanging curtains, hanging clothes to dry, cleaning door frames, tidying up the room, and occasionally playing around. To be honest, we are almost becoming ladder carriers, just drag a towel to wipe the sweat, wringing out enough water to wipe the table!

Busy day, finally can enjoy a moment, looking at the neat room, sitting at the dining table, let my eyes dazzling, there is braised pork, pickles, beef slices, steaming dumplings? There was also an indispensable bottle of good wine, which really made me salivate. But the most attractive is the annual Spring Festival gala, which has become an indispensable part of the whole Chinese people, sketches, songs and dances, comedy are my favorite, the family is immersed in laughter, they have to put the blessings and laughter, are passed on to everyone.

In short, in my childhood memories, I always looked forward to the New Year, because it was a time when my relatives could be reunited, and it was also a happy, grand, and happy holiday! Of course, there is no shortage of money and red packets!
