House Cleaning
房屋打扫
To clean houses on the New Year Eve is a very old custom dating back to thousands of years ago. The dust is traditionally associated with “old” so
cleaning their houses and sweeping the dust mean to bid farewell to the “old” and usher in the “new”. Days before the New Year, Chinese families clean their houses, sweeping the floor, washing daily things, cleaning the spider webs and dredging the ditches. People do all these things happily in the hope of a good coming year.
春节打扫房屋这个非常古老的习俗甚至可以追溯到几千年前。灰尘在传统上与“旧”联系在一起，所以打扫房屋和扫除灰尘意味着辞“旧”迎“新”。春节的前几天，中国的各家各户都打扫房屋，扫地，清洗日用品，清除蛛网和疏浚沟渠。人们兴高采烈做所有这些事情，希望来年好运。
House decoration
房屋装饰
One of the house decorations is to post couplets on doors. On the Spring Festival couplets, good wishes are expressed. New Year couplets are usually posted in
pairs as even numbers are associated with good luck and auspiciousness in Chinese culture.

People in north China are used to posting paper-cut on their windows. When sticking the window decoration paper-cuts, people paste on the door large red Chinese character “fu”A red "fu"means good luck and fortune, so it is customary to post "fu"on doors or walls on auspicious occasions such as wedding, festivals. 在中国北方，人们习惯于在窗户上贴剪纸。人们既在窗户上贴剪纸，又在大门上贴上大大的红色汉字“福”字，一个红色“福”字意味着好运和财富，因此习惯上在婚礼，节日之类的吉祥场合中，人们都会在门或墙上贴“福”字。
Waiting for the First Bell Ringing of Chinese New Year
等待春节的第一声钟鸣
The first bell ringing is the symbol of Chinese New Year. Chinese people like to go to a large squares where there are huge bells are set up on New Year’s Eve. As the New Year approaches they count down and celebrate together. The

Many foreigners now go to Hanshan Temple to celebrate Chinese New Year. 第一次钟声是春节的象征。中国人喜欢到一个大广场，那里有为除夕设置的大钟。随着春节的临近，他们开始倒计数并一起庆祝。人们相信了大钟的撞响可以驱除霉运，带来好运。近年来，有些人开始去山上寺庙等待第一次钟声。苏州的寒山寺就非常著名，它的钟声宣布春节的到来。现在有许多外国人也去寒山寺庆祝春节。
Staying up late ("Shousui")
熬夜（“守岁”）
Shousui means to stay up late or all night on New Year's Eve. After the great dinner, families sit together and chat happily to wait for the New Year’s arrival. 守岁意味着除夕夜不睡觉。年夜饭后，家人聚坐一起，愉快聊天，等待春节的到来。 New Year Feast
年夜饭
Spring Festival is a time for family reunion. The New Year's Feast is "a must" banquet with all the family members getting together. The food eaten on the New Year Eve banquet varies according to regions. In south China, It is customary to eat "niangao" (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)
because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher every year". In the north, a traditional dish for the feast is "Jiaozi" or dumplings shaped like a crescent moon.
春节是与家人团聚的时间。年夜饭是所有家庭成员聚在一起“必须”的宴会。除夕宴会上吃的食物根据不同的地区各不相同。在中国南方，习惯吃“年糕”（糯米粉制成的新年糕点），因为作为一个同音字，年糕意味着“步步高升”。在北方，年夜饭的传统饭是“饺子”或像月牙儿形的汤圆。
Setting Firecrackers
燃放鞭炮
Lighting Firecrackers used to be one of the most important customs in the Spring Festival celebration. However, concerning the danger and the negative noises that lighting firecrackers may bring, the government has banned this practice in many major cities. But people in small towns and rural areas still hold to this traditional celebration. Right as the clock strikes 12 o'clock midnight of New Year's Eve, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks, and the sound can be deafening. Families stay up for this joyful moment and kids with firecrackers in one hand and a lighter in another cheerfully light their happiness in this especial occasion, even though they plug their ears.
放鞭炮曾是春节庆祝活动中最重要的习俗之一。然而，担心燃放鞭炮可能会带来危险和烦人的噪音，政府已在许多大城市下令禁止燃放鞭炮。但在小城镇和农村地区的人们仍然坚持这种传统的庆祝活动。除夕夜一旦时钟撞响午夜12点钟，城市和乡镇都被烟花的闪闪光芒映亮，鞭炮声震耳欲聋。一家人熬夜就为这个欢乐的时刻，孩子们一手拿鞭炮，一手拿火机兴高采烈地点放着他们在这个特殊节日的快乐，尽管他们吓得捂着耳朵。
New Year Greetings(Bai Nian)
春节的问候（拜年）
On the first day of the New Year or shortly thereafter, everybody wears new clothes and greets relatives and friends with bows and Gongxi (congratulations), wishing each other good luck, happiness during the new year. In Chinese
villages, some villagers may have hundreds of relatives so they have to spend more than two weeks visiting their relatives.
在春节第一天或此后不久，大家都穿着新衣服，带着弓向亲戚和朋友打招呼并恭喜（祝贺），彼此祝愿在新的一年里好运，幸福。在中国农村，有些村民可能有数以百计的亲戚，所以他们不得不拿出两个多星期来走亲访友。
On the first day of the new year, it’s customary for the younger generations to visit the elders, wishing them healthy and longevity.
春节第一天，按习惯，小一辈人要拜见老一辈，祝愿他们健康长寿。
Because visiting relatives and friends takes a lot of time, now, some busy people will send New Year cards to express their good wishes rather than pay a visit personally.
因为探亲访友花费大量时间，所以，现在有些忙碌的人就送春节贺卡来表达他们的良好祝愿，而不是亲自去拜访。
Lucky Money
压岁钱
It is the money given to kids from their parents and grandparents as New Year gift. The money is believed to bring good luck, ward off monsters; hence the name "lucky money". Parents and grandparents first put money in small,
especially-made red envelopes and give the red envelopes to their kids after the New Year's Feast or when they come to visit them on the New Year. They choose to put the money in red envelopes because Chinese people think red is a lucky color. They want to give their children both lucky money and lucky color.
这是孩子们的父母和祖父母给他们作为春节礼物的钱。压岁钱据说能带来好运，能驱魔；因此，就有了“压岁钱”的称呼。父母和祖父母先把钱放入特制的小红包里，年夜饭后或当孩子们来拜年时，将红包发给他们。他们之所以要把钱放到红包里，是因为中国人认为红色是个幸运色。他们想给自己孩子既有压岁钱还有幸运色。【习俗英文】
‘中国新年（Chinese New Year）’或‘春节（Spring Festival）’是最重要的中国传统节日（traditional Chinese holiday），也叫‘农历新年（Lunar New Year）’。这个节日从农历正月初一（the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar）开始，直到正月十五元宵节（Lantern Festival）结束。除夕（Chinese
New Year's Eve）的字面含义是‘Year-pass Eve’。据说当初春节是为了纪念与一头叫做‘年’的神话野兽进行的斗争（fight against a mythical beast called 'Nian'）。
中国的阴阳历（lunisolar calendar）而不是公历（Gregorian calendar）决定了春节的日期。天干（heavenly stems）和地支（earthly branches）用来纪年。阴阳（yin and yang）与五行（the five elements of Chinese astrology）也用来描述一个具体年份。很多人混淆了他的农历生年（Chinese birth-year）和公历生年（Gregorian birth-year）。有些算命的人（sign calculators）也会混淆农历和阳历。
12年形成一个属相（animal zodiac）循环（cycle）；60年形成一个综合循环。十二属相（zodiac animal signs）包括：鼠（rat）、牛（ox）、虎（tiger）、兔（rabbit）、龙（dragon）、蛇（snake）、马（horse）、羊（ram/sheep）、猴（monkey）、鸡（rooster）、狗（dog）与猪（pig）。
春节在很多国家和地区（countries and territories）都是公共假期（public holiday），包括中国大陆、中国台湾、中国香港、中国澳门、马来西亚、新加坡、文莱（Brunei）、印度尼西亚和菲律宾。还有一些国家以其它方式纪念中国春节，包括澳大利亚、加拿大、法国、新西兰和美国等。在正式假期（official holiday）前后，庆祝活动（celebrations/festivities）一直在进行。各国对春节规定的法定假期（statutory holiday）长短不一。
春节期间的庆祝活动中最重要的是拜访亲朋好友（visits to kin, relatives and friends），即‘拜年（new-year visits）’。青年人（juniors）和孩子（children）可以从已婚者（the married）和长辈（the elders）那里拿到红包（red
packets/envelope）。红包也叫压岁钱，是从‘压祟钱（the money used to suppress or put down the evil spirits）’发展而来。钱数应为偶数（even numbers），因为奇数（odd numbers）不吉利。数字4被认为不吉利，因为和‘死’同音（a homophone with death）；数字8吉利，因为和‘发（wealth）’同音。互赠礼物（gift exchange）也是人们之间常有的事儿。
春节前一般要彻底打扫卫生（a thorough cleaning），以扫掉前一年的坏运气（to sweep away the bad luck of the preceding year）并迎接好运（to be ready for good luck）。房间要用带有吉利话（auspicious phrases）的剪纸（paper cutouts）和春联（couplets）进行装饰。信佛（Buddhism）和信道（Taoism）的人会将神坛（altar）与塑像（statues）清理干净。某些地区的人会有‘送神

贴春联
Paste up/stick spring couplets/scrolls
春联通常是成对张贴，因为双数在中国文化中是好运和吉祥的象征。像所有武功秘籍一样，家家户户过年的基本功——贴春联也有一套口诀：人朝门立，右手为上，左手为下。这句话意思是对联的出句应贴在右手边（即门的左边），对句应贴在左手边（即门的右边）。春联的上下联张贴的位置不应太高或太低，一般应以门楣的高低为准。
Chinese characters that are auspicious for the coming year are generally written on two pieces of red paper with ink and a brush, and glued by the sides of the doors.
贴福字
Paste up/stick the character of fu
“福”不仅代表着福气、福运，更代表着福。写在红纸上的“福”字表达了中国人内心对幸福的向往。大家印象中“福”字一般都是倒着贴，谐音意为“福到”了。民俗专家表示，按照规范的民俗讲究，大门上的福字必须是正贴，象征“迎福”和“纳福”之意，而且大门是家庭的出入口，是一种庄重的地方，所贴的福字，须端庄大方，所以要正贴。而室内的地方比如柜子、米缸等等就可以倒贴福字。
The character fu, or “happiness” is usually written on red diamond-shaped posters. They are usually stuck upside down on the doors. This is because the Chinese character dao (upside down) has the same sound as another dao, which means “arrive”. Placing fu upside down symbolizes the arrival of happiness.
放烟花/鞭炮
Set off fireworks/ firecrackers
传说中，烟花爆竹最开始是用来驱赶“年”这头怪兽的。而现在放烟花、点鞭炮主要是为了增加节日气氛，让年味更浓。想象一下，除夕夜，四处都被烟花的闪闪光芒映亮，鞭炮声震耳欲聋。一家人熬夜就为这个欢乐的时刻，孩子们一手捂着耳朵，一手兴高采烈地点放着他们在这个特殊节日的快乐。这是属于我们所有人的春节记忆。
Chinese people traditionally set off fireworks during Spring Festival, in the belief that this helps scare off the Nian and brings good fortune at the beginning of the year and good luck throughout the year.
拜年
Pay lunar New Year’s calls/visits; give Spring Festival greetings
拜年一般是家长带着家里的晚辈去拜见亲戚、朋友和长辈。有的地方还会让晚辈跪下给老人磕头，表达恭敬和祝福之意。
传统的拜年手势男女有别。标准的男子作揖姿势是右手成拳，左手包住。因为右手是攻击手，
要包住以示善意。女子则相反，但女子不抱拳，只压手。
It’s important that you pay relatives and friends a new year’s call during the holiday. This is done at people’s homes from New Year’s Day to the 15th day, or the Lantern Festival. People give each other best wishes and gifts. This is also a time for the younger generation to bow or kowtow to the elders for health, good fortune, work, and so on and to get a red package in return. 压岁钱/红包
Lucky money/ red envelop
一提起“红包”很多人现在想起的都是微信红包。但是红包的鼻祖可是大家喜闻乐见的春节压岁钱啊。为什么钱要放在红包里呢？因为中国人认为红色代表红红火火、生活幸福。红包也包含了长辈对晚辈的祝福和期待。在香港，不止小孩会拿到红包，只要为你服务的人，都可以给TA一个红包，不过人家把这个叫“利是”。
For many young people, Chinese new year is just as much about yasuiqian — money in red envelopes traditionally given to children. On the Chinese mainland, kids get red envelopes at home from their parents and relatives. In Hong Kong, it is also customary to give Lai See (利是), a gift of money, to anyone in your personal service, such as nannies and cleaners.
过年禁忌
New Year taboos
过年虽然是一个放松的时候，但是也不是百无禁忌。首先一点就是语言上忌讳。过年的时候像“死”、“失败”、“病”这样比较晦气的话不能说。
打破碗碟也是忌讳。如果不小心打破了，在场的人必须以迅雷不及掩耳盗铃儿响叮当之势，说上两句吉祥的顺口溜，如“岁（碎）岁平安”，“打发（大发，发财之意）”等来弥补。 Words can reflect New Year taboos. People tend to, for example, avoid negative words, such as “failing”, “dying”, and “illness” during New Year’s celebrations. Breaking a dish is another taboo in some places, because it implies that you will not have a thing to eat.
很多地方过年的时候不能扫地，或者扫地时只能往屋内扫，不能往屋外扫，因为这样会把“财气”扫出去。春节期间也不能扔垃圾，因为同样有可能扔掉“财运”。
People do not carry the garbage out or clean the house on New Year’s Day or for the rest of the Spring Festival holiday, for fear of sweeping away good luck.
春节期间也忌讳剃头。事实上整个正月都忌讳剃头，因为剃头的话会“死舅舅”。这个习俗据说来源于清朝。满清入关要求所有男子剃掉前额的头发，在脑后扎一条辫子。当时许多人把遵从传统习惯和怀念明朝的情感结合起来，约定每到正月里大家都不剃头，并将这个行动定名为“思旧”，意思是“思念过去的历史”。但随着时间的流逝，口耳相传，以讹传讹，“思旧”的谐音附会成了“死舅”，于是有了流传至今的民俗。
People usually get a haircut before the lunar new year's eve because it is said that getting one's hair cut in the first lunar month puts a curse on one's maternal uncles.

On this day, the kitchen god returns to Heaven to report the conducts of the family to the Emperor of Heaven. Therefore, worshipping the kitchen god aims to "please him."

Thus the family can lead an auspicious life.

12:00-18:00 Enjoying the Reunion Dinner & Giving Lucky Money团年饭开席、发压岁钱
The two wonderful meals at this day are called "Reunion Dinners", among which the New Year's Eve Dinner is much more important.
除夕日的两顿大餐称为“团年饭”，其中尤以晚餐“年夜饭”为重头戏。
There are abundant dishes for the New Year's Eve Dinner. The dishes are of a wide variety and they all imply the meaning of good luck. Fore example, "fish" shares a similar pronunciation with "Yu" which stands for "abundance"; beetroot sounds like "Cai Tou" that means one can have good luck in the new year. Besides, there are chicken, duck, fish, pork and beef in the dinner, which symbolize a rich new year. While is Sichuan, every family has home-made sausage and cured meat as well as Chinese liquor.
年夜饭的餐桌上总是丰盛异常，菜色虽然五花八门，但宗旨都要有开福纳吉的好寓意。如“鱼”和“余”谐音，象征“年年有余”;“菜头”与“菜头”谐音，象征来年有好彩头，鸡鸭鱼猪牛肉都备齐，则表明来年丰裕。在四川地区，还少不了自家酿制的香肠、腊肉，当然，还有白酒。
During dinner time, Chinese people do not just eat and drink although the food and drinks are very delicious. They also say some "best wishes" such as "I wish you good health and a long life", "may all go well with you", etc. to the elders, and then hope to get lucky money from those happy elders. It is said that the lucky money can drive out evil spirits because it shares the same pronunciation with "Sui" in Chinese (meaning evil spirits), thus children who get lucky money will be safe in the new year. Surely, receiving lucky money is the favorite "event" of every child during the Spring Festival.
热闹的年夜饭进行到中段，酒菜正酣，可别只顾着吃喝，晚辈们此时只须给长辈献上几句如“健康长寿”、“万事如意”的吉祥话，就只等长辈乐呵呵发送压岁钱了。相传压岁钱可以压住邪祟，因为“岁”与“祟”谐音，得到压岁钱的小辈就可以平平安安度过一岁。当然，这也是小辈们无可争议最喜欢的过年“节目”。
