Chinese New Year

Qiqi

     Chinese New Year is the reason why i love my country. First, Chinese New Year is one of the most important festivals in China. In the festival we have special customs, such as eating dumpling and wearing new clothes. First family reunion dinner is part of New Year, just like an American Christmas. The whole family, no matter where they live, have to go back home. We will make dumplings and eat together. We have to eat rice dumplings that represent a reunion. Second, in the dress, we also have special habits. We have to wear new and red clothes which means new year have a good beginning. Some people will wear dragon patterns. Third, Chinese New Year have ancient customs to celebrate. Such as stay up late on New Year's Eve, write spring couplets an red paper, and give children lucky money. Whether adults or children, everyone looks forward to Chinese New Year.
