中文中“过年”这个词组用以表示对春节(中国新年)的庆祝。“年这个

字在中文里

是一种恐怖的怪兽。因为“年”害怕红色和火，所以中国人会在门上悬挂

“春联”写上美好祝福，并放鞭炮来赶跑它。这个传统有点类似西方人用

大蒜和十字架吓跑吸血鬼的传统。

中国的十二生肖代表了十二种动物，他们的顺序是：鼠、牛、兔、龙、

蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗和猪。今年是羊年。每一种动物有他们自己的

“性格”。根据传说，人们当初和动物们开了一个会，最先到会的动物们

就可以进入十二生肖。而身为猫最好的朋友，老鼠却没有把猫叫醒去开

会。因此，它们之间的战争一直持续到今天。

国的春节庆祝冬天的结束和温暖春天的来临。它开始于农历年的最后一天，结束于农历

正月十五，也就是元宵节。在中国春节时非常重要的一个节日。在春节期间，人们用红

灯笼和春联装饰房子，因为红色意味着好运，人们通常会大扫除，扫去一年的霉运，迎

来新一年的好运。穿上各式各样的彩色衣服，经常拜访亲戚朋友或聚在一起吃饺子、

鱼、肉和其他美味的食物。孩子们盼望着收到红包的压岁钱，他们一起放烟花，相互玩

的跟开心。大街上有舞龙、舞狮和其他一些狂欢活动。

春节庆祝活动通常持续15天。庆祝活动包括春节的年夜饭，放鞭炮，给儿童压岁钱，

春节钟声和春节问候。大多数中国人将在春节的第7天停止庆祝活动，因为全国性节假

春节打扫房屋这个非常古老的习俗甚至可以追溯到几千年前。灰尘在传统上与“旧”

联系在一起，所以打扫房屋和扫除灰尘意味着辞“旧”

迎“新”。春节的前几天，中国的各家各户都打扫房屋，扫地，清洗日用品，清除蛛网

和疏浚沟渠。人们兴高采烈做所有这些事情，希望来年好运。

春节的象征。中国人喜欢到一个大广场，那里有为除夕设置的大钟。随着春节的临近，

他们开始倒计数并一起庆祝。人们相信了大钟的撞响可以驱除霉运，带来好运。近年

春节的到来。现在有许多外国人也去寒山寺庆祝春节。

放鞭炮曾是春节庆祝活动中最重要的习俗之一。然而，担心燃放鞭炮可能会带来危险

和烦人的噪音，政府已在许多大城市下令禁止燃放鞭炮。但在小城镇和农村地区的人们

仍然坚持这种传统的庆祝活动。除夕夜一旦时钟撞响午夜12点钟，城市和乡镇都被烟

花的闪闪光芒映亮，鞭炮声震耳欲聋。一家人熬夜就为这个欢乐的时刻，孩子们一手

拿鞭炮，一手拿火机兴高采烈地点放着他们在这个特殊节日的快乐，尽管他们吓得捂着

耳朵。

第一天或此后不久，大家都穿着新衣服，带着弓向亲戚和朋友打招呼并恭喜(祝贺)，彼
