Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the Lunar New Year by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year s Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means Year-pass Eve .
Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.
Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (T?t), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service issues New Year s themed stamps.
Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.
Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 Chinese Year 4707, 4706, or 4646.

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival?
Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing (有吸引力的)to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.
This worry is fairly unnecessary. Why ? One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians,college students and joint-venture (合资企业)workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic(带有异国情调的) festival. By contrast,the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.
I think,it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West,a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.

春节是我国各民族的传统节日,100多年前,民间艺人 百本张 曾在他的曲本中这样写道: 正月里家家贺新年,元宵佳节把灯观,月正圆,花盒子处处瞅,炮竹阵阵喧,惹得人大街小巷都游串。 这历史上关于岁首春节的生动定照。
相传尧舜时期,我国就有这个节日,殷商甲骨文的卜辞中,亦有关于春节的记载,有庆祝风首春节的风俗,但当时历法,是靠 观象授时 ,是否准确,尚难确定,到了公元前104年汉武帝太初元年,我国人民创造了 太初历 ,明确规定以农历正月为岁首,从这时起,农历新年的习俗就流传了2000多年,直到新中国成立,改用公元以后,这个节日就改为春节。
在我国最古的文字记载中,有许多关于岁首的故事,腊月和新春,正是 秋收冬藏 以后的农闲季节,汉郑玄也说过,岁未年初 劳农以休息之 。拿我们今天的话来说,就是劳逸结合的意思。

那时的国君叫祖乙,天时风云的不测,使他很苦恼。一个名叫阿衡的大臣,为讨好皇上,奏称要设天台敬祭天神,祖乙认为有理,便带领百官去祭天,却无济于事,万年知道后,忍不住带着日晷仪和漏壶去见皇上,对祖乙讲清了日月运行的道理。祖乙听后龙颜大悦,感到有道理。于是把万年留下,在天坛前修建日月阁,筑起日晷台和漏壶亭,并派了十二童子服待万年,祖乙对万年说: 希望你能测准日月规律,推算出准确的晨夕时间,创建历法,为天下的黎民百姓造福。
有一次,祖乙传旨要阿衡去了解万年测试历法的进展情况,当他登上日月坛时看见天坛边的石壁上写了一些字,阿衡看见后,知道万年的历法已研究成功,怕皇上重用他,于日派人刺杀万年,结果刺客被士卫抓住了,祖乙知道后,惩处了阿衡,亲自登上日月阁看望万年,万年指着天象,对祖乙说: 现在正是十二个月满,旧岁已完,新春复始,祈请国君定个节吧。 祖乙说: 春为岁道,就叫春节吧。
冬去春来,年复一年,后来,万年经过长期观察,精心推算,制定了准确的太阳历,后来为了纪念万年的功绩,便将太阳日命名为 万年历 封万年为日月寿星,以后,人们在过年时挂上寿星图,据传说就是为了纪念万年的。

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.
