A passage describing the New Year in China

(1) The streets are very busy during the Spring Festival. Let me show you around. First of all, the couplets are greeted, which symbolize that the coming year will bring happiness and joy to people. The stall owner smiled and sold us couplets.

Then there are exquisite murals, including mountains, water, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish, which dazzle me. I don't know which is better. How beautiful! Then, there is the lively big carp, alive and kicking. When welcoming the arrival of the new year, silver carp is not to be outdone, jumping out of the water and shining all over in the sun.

(2) Spring Festival lanterns can best set off the festive atmosphere. When I was very young, there was no electric light at home, so I lit a small oil lamp on weekdays. It's the Spring Festival, and it's also an oil lamp, but it's different from the old oil lamp. It's a big oil lamp with a glass lampshade and a white glass umbrella that can be hung up. There is a knob on the lamp to adjust the brightness of the lamp.

I remember every New Year's Eve afternoon, my father would take out the lamp early, fill it with oil and hang it in the middle of the ceiling. Turn on the light as soon as it gets dark, turn it on loudly, and illuminate the whole room brightly. This lamp will be on every night from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month. In my childhood memory, this lamp is the most important symbol of the Spring Festival.

Before the Spring Festival, people were beaming and full of energy. There is an endless stream of people shopping, some are buying New Year pictures, some are buying new year's goods, some are sitting in a fire box watching TV around the stove, some are playing mahjong and poker, and so on. The streets are colorful and there are all kinds of people. All kinds of goods are complete and dazzling, full of the excitement of doing it yourself and participating in everything.

The long-awaited Spring Festival has finally arrived, and we have put on new clothes. The family sat around the fire, eating a hearty New Year's Eve dinner, with cuttlefish stewed pork belly, braised side fish, village tofu boiled local chicken, celery fried shredded pork, fried spinach, etc ... Now my mouth is watering.

We watched CCTV's Spring Festival Gala while eating. The cross talk between soldiers and Zhang Weiguo made us laugh our heads off. Unconsciously, the bell of 20 12 rang, and the dense firecrackers resounded through the land of China. Gorgeous fireworks bloom in the sky like flowers, dotted with endless nights like day.

(5) Before the Spring Festival, every household was brightly lit, and every household dressed the house in a unique way, each with its own personality. They put the new year's goods they bought all over the floor. How to paste the bought New Year pictures depends on your own style and preferences. Some are posting, some are posting backwards, and some are posting askew, each with its own merits.

People have already prepared all the dishes they bought, and only in the Spring Festival can they have a big meal. Every household has firecrackers, and people put on new clothes to welcome the New Year. Before the Spring Festival, when people go out, if they meet good friends, they always say, "Go to the streets!" "
