Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, and it is a time for all family members to get together, just like Christmas in the west. All the people who are far away from home have gone back, and it takes about half a month from the Spring Festival to become the busiest time of the transportation system. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with returnees.

Then people began to decorate their clean rooms to create a happy and festive atmosphere. All the door panels will be affixed with Spring Festival couplets, and China's calligraphy will be highlighted in black font on red paper. The content ranges from homeowners' wishes for a better future to good luck in the New Year. In addition, pictures of the door god and the god of wealth will be posted on the front door to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and prosperity.

Setting off fireworks used to be the most typical custom in the Spring Festival. People think that this crackling helps to drive away evil spirits. However, once the government takes safety, noise and pollution into consideration, such activities are completely or partially banned in big cities. Instead, some people buy tapes with firecrackers to listen to, some people break small balloons to get sound, while others buy firecrackers crafts to hang in the living room.

The lively atmosphere not only pervades every household, but also permeates the streets. A series of activities such as lion dance, dragon dance, Lantern Festival and temple fair will last for several days. After the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival will be over.
