Spring Festival
Spring Festival is the most important holiday in China.It is like Christmas holiday.During the Spring Festival,we can eat a lot of nice food,and the food is different from some different places.Like our Guangdong,we eat carbonado and chicken,adults will drink rack.And,we also like to set off firecrackers,but it's very dangerous for the children,and it's not allowed in some big cities.
Maybe some foreigners will ask like this"Why children like Spring Festival so much?"Because the children can get some money from their parents,so do I.
It's the happiest time all the year round.I like it very much.本回答被提问者采纳

The Spring Festival
Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.
