English Composition on Chinese and Western Festivals

The date of this festival is based on the lunar calendar (calculated according to the movement of the moon), so it changes every year. During this period, China people believe that they can put the past behind them and move towards a new year full of happiness and prosperity. Red is the most common color in this period, because it symbolizes good luck and auspiciousness in the coming year. This is also a time for family reunion, because they all rush home to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. In order to make this season happy, families sit together and cook traditional food, such as jiaozi or a steamer. This is a time for everyone to get together and wish each other good luck in the New Year.

People usually party late to start the new year. This is also the time to wish each other a happy New Year and good health. When the clock strikes midnight, fireworks will also be lit.
