Spring festival is normal, we celebrate it once a year. But, it's abnormal because it’s unique festival by Chinese. I can barely say what I did for celebrating last spring festival, instead, I'd like to say how we celebrating this festival traditionally. The festival atmosphere getting stronger and stronger during the last lunar month before the Spring Festival Eve, people prepare all the stuffs that they’re going to eat & use for celebration and the several days after the eve, because people can not use kitchen knives within 3 days after the eve. That’s a big holiday for kids, we wear new clothes; we get money from parents and eldership; we fire fireworks, every kid has the experience that expecting the Spring Festival for the year. For family, relatives meets each other at this time, have meal together is the mainly activity. Recently, many people choose travel during the Spring Festival vacation; they get relaxation both from travel itself and the festival atmosphere. Anyway, this traditional festival for Chinese is getting more and more worldwide and updated.

Chinese New Year
Its origin is ancient, but many believe the word Nian, which means "year", was the name of a beast that preyed on people on the eve of a new year.
In one legend, the beast, Nian, had the power to swallow up all the people in a village in one big bite. Village people were very scared of Nian
One day, an old man came to the villagers' rescue, offering to subdue Nian. The old man asked Nian, "I know you can swallow people, but can you swallow other beasts of prey instead of people who are by no means your worthy opponents?"
Nian accepted the old man's challenge and swallowed the beasts that had harassed the villagers and their farm animals for years.
At the end of the legend, the old man disappeared riding off on Nian. In this legend, the old man turned out to be an immortal god.
In the end, Nian is gone and the other beasts of prey are scared into hiding in the forests. The villagers can once again enjoy their peaceful life.
The legend goes on to say before the old man left, he told the villagers to put red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end in order to keep Nian away. It is believed Nian is afraid of the color red.
The tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which means "Survive the Nian" became "Celebrate the Year" and the word "guo" in Chinese means both "pass over" and "observe".
The custom of putting up red paper and lighting firecrackers to scare away Nian continues today.
