A Review of an Interesting Website
February 7 was Chinese New Year, which is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. In China, people may take weeks of holiday from work to prepare for and celebrate the New Year. Nowadays, Chinese people are all over the world, so there are always many celebrations in Chinese communities. Maybe you will see them one day, so would you like to get some information about that? It is nice to learn about the different cultures from different countries, isn't it? On http://www.infoplease.com/spot/chinesenewyear1.html, you will know the source of Chinese New Year, and how Chinese people celebrate the New Year. At Chinese New Year celebrations people wear red clothes, decorate with poems on red paper, and give children "lucky money" in red envelopes (children will be very rich and happy at that time). In China, the New Year is a time of family reunion. Family members gather at each other's homes for visits and shared meals, most significantly a feast on New Year's Eve.There are many other things about Chinese New Year. Go to the website above to get more information, so that you can talk to your Chinese friends about it. They might be very surprised.
