Traditions and
cultures of Spring Festival
The Spring
Festival is the most important festival for the
Chinese people and is when all family
members get together, just like
Christmas in the West. All people living away from
home go back,
becoming
the
busiest
time
for
transportation
systems
of
about
half
a
month
from
the
Spring
Festival.
Airports,
railway
stations
and
long-distance
bus
stations
are
crowded
with
home
returnees.
The
Spring
Festival
falls
on
the
1st
day
of
the
1st
lunar
month,
often
one
month
later
than
the
Gregorian calendar. It
originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c.
1100 BC) from the people's
sacrifice to
gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and
the beginning of a new one.
Strictly
speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in
the early days of the 12th lunar month
and will last till the mid 1st lunar
month of the next year. Of them, the most
important days are
Spring Festival Eve
and the first three days. The Chinese government
now stipulates people have
seven days
off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Many
customs
accompany
the
Spring
Festival.
Some
are
still
followed
today,
but
others
have
weakened.
On the 8th day of
the 12th lunar month, many families make laba
porridge, a delicious kind of
porridge
made
with
glutinous
rice,
millet,
seeds
of
Job's
tears,
lotus
seeds,
beans,
longan
and
gingko.
The 23rd day of the
12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At
this time, people offer sacrifice
to
the kitchen god. Now however, most families make
delicious food to enjoy themselves.
After the Preliminary Eve, people begin
preparing for the coming New Year. This is called
the New Year in
Store
owners
are
busy
then
as
everybody
goes
out
to
purchase
necessities
for
the
New
Year.
Materials
not
only
include
edible
oil,
rice,
flour,
chicken,
duck,
fish
and
meat,
but
also
fruit,
candies
and
kinds
of
nuts.
What's
more,
various
decorations,
new
clothes
and
shoes
for
the
children
as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and
relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.
Before the New Year comes, the people
completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their
homes
as well as their clothes,
bedclothes and all their utensils.
Then people begin decorating their
clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing
and festivity.
All the door panels will
be pasted with Spring Festival couplets,
highlighting Chinese calligraphy
with
black
characters
on
red
paper.
The
content
varies
from
house
owners'
wishes
for
a
bright
future to good luck for the New Year.
Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will
be posted
on front doors to ward off
evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.
The Chinese character
can be
pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the
comes
both sides of the front
door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window
glass and brightly colored
New Year
paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on
the wall.
People attach great
importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time,
all family members eat dinner
together.
The
meal
is
more
luxurious
than
usual.
Dishes
such
as
chicken,
fish
and
bean
curd
cannot
be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations,
respectively
auspiciousness,
abundance
and
richness.
After
the
dinner,
the
whole
family
will
sit
together,
chatting and watching TV. In recent
years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on
China Central
Television
Station
(CCTV) is
essential
entertainment
for
the
Chinese
both
at
home
and
abroad.
According to custom, each family will
stay up to see the New Year in.
Waking
up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they
extend greetings to their parents. Then
each child will get money as a New Year
gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern
China
will eat jiaozi, or dumplings,
for breakfast, as they think
to the old
and ushering in the new
China. So people
eat them and wish for money and treasure.
Southern
Chinese
eat
niangao
(New
Year
cake
made
of
glutinous
rice
flour)
on
this
occasion,
because as a
homophone, niangao means
days
after
the
Spring
Festival
are
a
good
time
for
relatives,
friends,
and
classmates
as
well
as
colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts
and chat leisurely.
Burning fireworks
was once the most typical custom on the Spring
Festival. People thought the
spluttering sound could help drive away
evil spirits. However, such an activity was
completely or
partially forbidden in
big cities once the government took security,
noise and pollution factors into
consideration. As a replacement, some
buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to,
some break
little balloons to get the
sound too, while others buy firecracker
handicrafts to hang in the living
room.
The lively atmosphere not only fills
every household, but permeates to streets and
lanes. A series
of activities such as
lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern
festivals and temple fairs will be
held
for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end
when the Lantern Festival is finished.
China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities
celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same
day as the
Han people, and they have
different customs.

Additional Practice: Dictation 1
Town and Country Life in England
There
is
a
big
difference
between
town
life
and
country
life
in
England.
In
the
country,
everybody knows everybody else. They
know what time you get up, what time you go to bed
and
what you have for dinner. If you
want help, you will always get it and you will be
glad to help
others.
In
a
large
town
like
London,
however,
it
can
sometimes
happen
that
you
have
never
seen
your
next door neighbor and you do not know his name or
anything about him. People in London
are
often
very
lonely.
This
is
because
people
go
to
different
places
in
the
evenings
and
at
weekends. If
you walk
through the streets in the centre of
London on Sunday,
it
is like a town
without
people. One is sorry for old people living on
their own. They could die in their homes and
would not be discovered for weeks or
even months.

A
Change in Women
’
s Life
The important change in
women
’
s life-pattern has
only recently begun to have its full effect on
women
’
s economic
position. Even a few years ago most girls left
school at the first opportunity,
and
most of them took a full-time job. However, when
they married, they usually left work at once
and never returned to it. Today the
school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at
school after
that age, and though women
tend to marry
younger,
more
married women stay at
work at least
until
shortly
before
their
first
child
is
born.
Very
many
more
afterwards
return
to
full-
time
or
part-time
work.
Such
changes
have
led
to
a
new
relationship
in
marriage,
with
the
husband
accepting a greater share of the duties
and satisfactions of family life and with both
husband and
wife
sharing
more
equally
in
providing
the
money,
and
running
the
home,
according
to
the
abilities and interests of each of
them.
