Spring Festival, Sweet Time for Family Reunion (English Edition) 春节,阖家欢乐过大年(英‪)‬

春节,是中国人最重要节日,

春节,也是中国节俗最丰富的、气氛最火热的节日。

春节,也是中国传统文化标识之一。

源于原始崇拜和祭祀自然神明的春节,

早已世代相承中形成了独具有中国特色的家庭观、亲情观,

成为流淌在华夏子孙血脉里的一种文化基因。

正是这样的传承与延续,

春节才成为人们最为看重的传统节日,

成为承载回家团聚这一伟大主题的重要载体。

Although times change, the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year is always the most important festival mirroring the deepest feeling and simplest wish- es of all Chinese.

Family reunion is the eternal theme of the Spring Festival. No matter where you are, all have to go back home to reunite with their parents and kith and kin. The unique concept of family and kinship of the Chinese, which has passed down from generation to generation, has become a cultural gene

flowing in the blood of Chinese people for numerous centuries.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, most people choose to sit glued to their mobile phones, sending blessings to relatives and friends, distributing or snapping up “Hongbao” (gift money) through WeChat as a modern form of greeting, and at the same time, they may also wacth the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast live. The subsequent seven-day holiday will be full of various feasts or dinner parties. Of course, some people may make good use of the time to travel with their families within the country or abroad.
