这是翻译：

农历新年的起源是它几个世纪的历史岁月，事实上，这由于年代过于久远而无法

被准确的追溯。人们通常称之为春节并庆祝长达15天的时间。

准备的工作通常在农历新年（类似于西方的圣诞节）之前的一个月就已经展开，

也就是人们开始购买礼物，装饰品，材料，衣服和食物。

大扫除会在新年之前展开，华人的房屋会被彻底的打扫，扫去厄运，给门和窗子

上新漆，通常都是红色的。在门和窗子上贴上剪纸和印有喜气，长寿，发财主体

的对联。年三十夜或许是最激动人心的部分，如预期般的悄悄接近。这里，服装

和食物上都体现着族传统礼仪的遵从。

晚餐，通常都是饺子和海鲜酒席。象征着不同的美好祝愿，微妙的东西包括有虾

来祝愿幸福快乐，干贝祝愿完事顺利，生鱼来祝愿好运和繁荣。Fai-hai一种像

头发般的可食用海藻带来繁荣的祝愿，水饺意味着对家庭的美好祝愿。

通常穿上红色的衣服，认为这种颜色可以避邪。但是绝不穿黑色和白色的。那些

颜色通常和悲痛相联系。饭后家人们不睡，玩棋牌，看电视节目都融入于这种气

氛。深夜，天空被烟花所点亮。

在农历新年当天，有一个古老的传统叫做红包，意思就是红色的小包。就是已婚

的夫妇给小孩和未婚的成年人装在红信封里的钱。而后一家人开始串门问候，先

去他们的亲戚家，而后是邻居。就如西方所说的，让过去的就成为过去吧。在农

历新年，过去的过劫非常容易就被抛开了。

新年的最后一天被称为灯笼节，以唱歌跳舞观灯笼的方式来庆祝。

虽然庆祝农历新年的方式很多，但其根本意义是，家庭和朋友的幸福快乐。

春节是最重要的节日在中国。它是庆祝阴历的新年。在晚上在春节之前，家庭聚会并且有一

顿大膳食。在许多地方人们喜欢引起爆竹。饺子是最传统的食物。因为他们可以食用可口食

物和穿新的衣裳，孩子喜欢节日非常。他们可以从他们的父母也得到一些钱。这金钱被给

孩子为好运。人们在墙壁上把新年纸卷放为好运。

春节久持续大约15天。人拜访亲戚朋友说“愿一切如愿”。在这时间他们可以有好休息

的人们享受春节。
