英文：New Year, the first day of the year, is a popular festival in most countries of the world. Every country in the world, especially in ancient times, has different dates.
Most countries in the modern world are on January 1 of the year of the AD. In modern times, "New Year's Day" is called the Gregorian New Year, and "Spring Festival" is called the Lunar New Year. On that day, people will celebrate the arrival of the New Year in various ways.
We call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival. It is the first day of the lunar calendar. Before New Year’s Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year’s Eve, every family has a delicious feast. All the family stays up late to welcome the Festival and people burn firecrackers to greet it. On the first day of the Spring Festival, people put on their new clothes and visit their relatives and friends. When meeting, they say “Good luck” and other greetings to each other. And children are very happy because they can get the lucky money from their parents and relatives. On the Festival, there are lion dances and some other activities, which last at least three days. People usually have a very good time during the festival.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.
