the Chinese 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 Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.

春节
很久以前,中国历史上最重要的节日是春节,而且据说是中国的新年。对于中国人来说,它的重要程度和西方的圣诞节一样。这一年一度的庆典日期被定在了阴历相当于格里高利历,所以假日改变的日期从一月末变为二月初。
对于黄皮肤的中国人来说,这个解释实际是始于春节的前夕结束于第一个月圆之日的15。而第一个月圆之夜一般情况下被称作元宵节,意味春节在全国大部分地区的官方节日时间上结束。
春节在中国是最重要最流行的节日。很久以前,过春节时,人们常常需要整理打扫房间。并且去花市买些鲜花。春节期间,成年人常常要给小子压岁钱。人们常要在一起聚餐,有些人午夜还会吃饺子。
