What are the traditional customs in the Spring Festival?

Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, also known as China Lunar New Year. There are many colorful traditional customs in this special festival. Let me introduce some to you.

First of all, during the Spring Festival, families will get together and have a reunion moment. This is an important traditional custom, because in China culture, family is always regarded as the most important relationship. People will go back to their hometown to reunite with their families, enjoy a big dinner, and watch the Spring Festival party on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year.

Secondly, red envelopes are an indispensable part of the Spring Festival. The elders will give lucky money to the younger generation and unmarried youth, wishing them peace, health and happiness in the new year. Red envelopes are usually placed in red envelopes to symbolize good luck. After receiving red envelopes, people usually pay tribute to their elders to express their gratitude.

In addition, lion dance and dragon dance are also common activities during the Spring Festival. Lion and dragon dances are traditional forms of performance, which are considered to drive away evil spirits.
