Chinese New Year is also called Spring Festival in China.
The Spring Festival is the most important and ceremonious traditional festival in China. Spring Festival is the lunar New Year. Spring Festival also is a family reunion for Chinese. Chinese people will go home from everywhere as much as possible during the Lunar New Year. Family reunions express people’s good wishes and look forward to the New Year.
The Spring Festival is called Guo Nian. Nian was a terrible animal in the legend. It lived on the seafloor. It came out from the seafloor and ate livestock and harmed people on lunar New Year’s Eve. But the Nian fear of the red color, fire and loud explosions. So people paste red couplets on the door and set off firecrackers to scare the Nian away. The next day is Chu Yi, people celebrate passing the Nian and congratulate each other. Passing means Guo in Chinese. So lunar New Year is Guo Nian in...

Spring Festival couplets are composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll above the gate. The Spring Festival couplets are written with lucky words on the red paper.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Chinese will paste Spring Festival couplets on the gate posts for good fortune. In the past, Chinese usually wrote Spring Festival couplets by themselves or ask others to write it for them. Nowadays most Chinese buy printed Spring Festival couplets in the market, but I think handwritten Spring Festival couplets are more meaningful.
Now we can see some teachers are writing Spring Festival couplets with a writing brush. They write it quickly and fluently. I guess they have practiced calligraphy for a long time, because mastering a Chinese writing brush is not easy. But if you are interested in it, you can learn it quickly.

Mid-Autumn Festival Lunar August 15th is China’s traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. It is called Mid-Autumn, because it is exactly in the middle of autumn. On this night, the moon is the fullest and brightest of the year. When people look at the round moon on the August 15th, they look forward to family reunion. People who are far away from their home also express homesickness to their families. So Mid-Autumn Festival also is called “Union Festival”.
When you look at the noon on the Mid-Autumn night, maybe you will see a beautiful lady shadow. It is said she is Chang’e. Because Chang’e was known for her beauty, so young girls worship moon on the Mid-Autumn night and pray for beauty as Chang’e.
Eating mooncake also is important custom in the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are many different flavors of mooncake in China. But all are delicious. The shape of mooncake is round as the moon on the Mid-Autumn night. The round shape symbolizes reunion....
