The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important festival in China. It marks the end of winter and the beginning of a new year in the lunar calendar. Families gather together on New Year's Eve to celebrate this occasion with a big meal. Dumplings, the most traditional food, are eaten to symbolize unity and completeness. Children look forward to this festival as they get to enjoy delicious food, wear new clothes, and receive money from their parents as a good luck gift. This money is known as "hongbao" and is given to children for good luck.
As the clock strikes 12 o'clock, families light firecrackers to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. The whole sky is lit up brightly, and people watch the fireworks excitedly. On the first morning of the new year, many elderly people get up early to stick reversed "Fu" characters or hang couplets on their front doors, hoping for good fortune and a prosperous new year.
