The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China and the grandest festival of the year. Every family celebrates it.

The Spring Festival couplets are an indispensable part of the program. Or do it yourself or ask someone to do it for you, the harvest of the year and the hope of the coming year are written into this small spring couplets. Students, when it comes to spring scrolls, there is a story! Spring Festival couplets, originated from peach charms, which first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty as rectangular peach door panels hanging on both sides of the main door. It is said that peach wood has the function of calming ghosts and driving away evil spirits. Because all the evil spirits in the world are afraid of "Shentian", "Yu Shi" two gods, so the people used peach wood to carve into their likeness, placed in front of their homes to drive away the ghosts and evil spirits. Later, people simply carve the names of the two gods on the peach board, that can also be done to suppress evil and drive away evil. This kind of peach board is called "Peach Amulet". During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, people began to write on peach charms. On one occasion, Meng Chang, the ruler of the State of Shu, made his maestros write on the peach runes on New Year's Eve. Since he could not read what the maestros wrote, Meng Chang simply wrote himself, "Every year is a year of celebration, and every year is a year of everlasting spring". This resulted in China's first Spring Festival couplet.

How did the Spring Festival come about

A long, long time ago, there was a monster called "Nian", which often bullied people living in the mountains in winter, and some people wanted to get rid of it, and some people wanted to drive it away. One day the Nian came again, and many people's houses were attacked. Only a few families with red curtains, fires outside their doors, or a lot of banging and clattering were not harmed, so the people in the mountains learned that Nian was afraid of three things. When Nian came again, people used these three things to drive the monster away, and from then on, they didn't dare to hurt people. This is a very important part of the New Year's celebration, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

I love the Spring Festival, every year I have to go to the flower market. Flower market is crowded with people can be very lively, store people are shouting to sell a variety of things, some sell colorful, fragrant and charming flowers, some sell delicious popcorn and good drinks, there are also selling a variety of toys.
