American friends go home for the New Year, eager for dialogue. Just some simple, more extensive,

Han Meimei: You know, on the night before the Spring Festival, our family always stays awake and waits for the arrival of the New Year.

You know, our family has to keep watch on New Year's Eve. Just stay up late and wait for the New Year.

Does everyone say "Happy New Year" to each other when the New Year comes?

At the beginning of the new year, people will pay New Year greetings to each other.

Yes, in Han Meimei, we wish each other a happy New Year with greetings like "Make a fortune in Gong Xi" ("I wish you prosperity"), "Easy in Shiwan" ("I wish you all the best") or "Good health". When I was a child, I would greet my elders and receive red envelopes.

Yes, when you pay a New Year call, you must say some words of blessing, such as "Congratulations on getting rich", "All the best" and "Good health". I remember that when I was a child, I liked to pay New Year greetings to my elders and get red envelopes from adults.

Lily, the boss of our company, also gave us red envelopes in the New Year.

Every new year, the boss of the company will also give out red envelopes.

Han Meimei: That's different. The boss will give you a bonus. The red envelopes that adults give their children in the New Year are called "lucky money".

This is different. The boss gives out bonuses. During the Chinese New Year, adults give their children red envelopes called "lucky money".

Lily: So I should also prepare "lucky money" in China.

Then I will prepare lucky money in China.

4. Spring Festival

I often hear that people in China celebrate two New Years. Why?

It is often said that people in China will live for two years. What's going on here?

One is New Year's Day in the solar calendar, and the other is Spring Festival, the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Yes, one is New Year's Day on the Gregorian calendar; The other is the Spring Festival, the first day of the lunar calendar.

When is Lily's Lunar New Year?

What is the lunar calendar?

Han Meimei: This is a traditional calendar in China, which is different from the solar calendar. So there are two New Years in China.

Is there anything special about celebrating the Spring Festival?

Han Meimei doesn't have as many traditional activities as before, but every family will still put up Spring Festival couplets, and the whole family will get together for a reunion dinner on the day before the Spring Festival.

There used to be a lot of attention, but now there are not so many, but every family still has to put up Spring Festival couplets, and on New Year's Eve, the whole family will get together for dinner, also called reunion dinner.

Lily New Year's Eve is the last day of the Lunar New Year, isn't it? What do you have for dinner?

Is New Year's Eve New Year's Eve? What should I eat for New Year's Eve?

Han Meimei: Yes, it's the last day of the Lunar New Year. New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, with chicken, duck, fish and pork-the best meat of the year.

New Year's Eve is the last day of the Lunar New Year. The New Year's Eve dinner is very rich. Chicken, duck and fish are generally the best meal of the year.

Lily, do you need a bag for jiaozi?

Do you want to bag jiaozi?

People in Han Meimei in the north will certainly make rubbish. New Year's Eve is the time when the new year replaces the old year, and it is called "the New Year's Eve". Jiaozi's pronunciation is "jiaozi". They look like ancient money-"Yuanbao". People want to eat Ji.

In the north, it will definitely include jiaozi. New Year's Eve is the time when the old year and the new year alternate. It is called "jiaozi". Jiaozi is the homonym of Jiaozi. Jiaozi is shaped like an ingot. People eat jiaozi in the hope of making money.

Lily: That sounds interesting. It seems that we are going to eat junk food.

Interesting. It seems that jiaozi must eat.

There are many more cool n words. You can find it yourself.
