春节的意义英语作文

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people.Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year，and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period，which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day（known as Lantern Festival），is relatively long，it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people.The arrangements they have to make for family reunions，buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday.Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks.The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

Spring Festival，as it is celebrated today，has undergone many changes，thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food.People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times，something that does not apply to society today.More often than not，people faced the risk of famine.The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty，and that

was possible in spring，or the beginning of the lunar new year.That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.
