The Chinese New Year is the most important holiday for Chinese. The New
Year comes with the first day of the First Moon, between January 21 and
February 19. People get ready for the holiday for fifteen days. Finally, at
midnight it is the first day of the First Moon. People close the shops and the
streets are empty. Everyone locks (锁) the doors and stays at home.
It is an important time for the family. The younger people bow (鞠躬)to the
older people. The Chinese people call this “ke tou”.
This means "to touch the
ground with forehead (前额)". Then the younger people wish the older people a
happy new year. The older people give children presents or money in red
envelopes. The family then go to sleep.
In the morning, people put on their best clothes. Some people stay at home,
and others go out to visit friends or neighbors. They are very polite and do not
use bad words. It’s the most important day of the year.
