Teacher 李芳 introduces 小美 to the main Spring Festival customs, and 小美 shares her expectations and understanding of the New Year celebration.
小美, do you know what kind of holiday the Spring Festival is?
Yes! The Spring Festival is when everyone celebrates the New Year together—it’s very lively!
Right. During the Spring Festival, people put up Spring Festival couplets to express their wishes for the new year.
I’ve seen red couplets with lots of characters on them!
Before the Spring Festival, there’s also a very important meal called the New Year’s Eve dinner. The whole family eats together.
I like the New Year’s Eve dinner the most—I can eat with Grandpa and Grandma!
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, elders also give children lucky money to wish them safe and healthy growth.
I’ve received lucky money too. I say thank you!
During the Spring Festival, people also pay New Year visits and say blessing words to each other.
Then I want to say ‘Happy New Year’ to everyone too!
