My Spring Festival
Spring Festival is a traditional day for the Chinese people to get together besides The Mid-Autumn Day.For this reason many people rush home wherever they are.However far they are and however busy they are, they try to go home.I am one of those who hate it because after one festival, I become one year older.Another reason is that there are many more ceremonies before or after the festival.
However, this spring festive is a bit special for me. I had a wonderful time.We didn't stay at home but had a travel and order a rich feast /dinner in a restaurant.Though it was very much expensive,We could spare much effort preparing the dinner which we couldn't have eaten and also we could have a lot of time to enjoy ourselves.You see, nowadays, the living standard has been greatly improved,eating is not so much a problem as before,so we have to find other kind of ways to enjoy ourselves.Traveling is a good way of spending the traditional festivals.We went to Xishuangbaina,Dali,the Stone Forest...my family,especial my child are all excited, learning a lot about the Minorities' tradition.I wish one day I could go abroad to spend the festival if we could make enough money!

The Spring Festival
Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival,also known as the Chinese New Year.To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West.The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar,so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese,the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar.But the 15th of the first month,which normally is called the * Festival,means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.
