春 节 习 俗

【辞旧岁】 bid farewell to the old year
6.春节：the Spring Festival
7.正月初一：Lunar New Years Day
8.元宵节：the Lantern Festival
【吃元宵】 Eat Rice Dumplings
春节会一直持续到元宵节（the Lantern Festival），即正月十五这一天。在这一天，人们会用糯米搓元宵，再填入各色的馅（fillings）。人们在元宵节不仅会吃元宵，还会逛灯会（lantern show）等等。过了元宵节，春节就基本结束了。
9.正月：the first month of the lunar year
10.二月二：Dragon Heads-raising Day
11.喝腊八粥：eat Laba porridge
12.扫尘：House Cleaning；Sweep the dust
一般来说，在大年三十的前一周各家各户就开始张罗起春节前的准备工作，其中就包括清扫。“尘”与“陈”谐音，灰尘常常与“旧”联系在一起。家家户户都会在春节前进行扫尘，这意味着辞“旧”迎“新”，希望在来年得到好运。
13.扫房：spring cleaning
14.祭灶：Kitchen God Worshipping; Offer sacrifices to the God of Kitchen
在腊月二十三（the 23rd of the twelfth month of the lunar year）这天，灶王爷（Kitchen God）要升天向玉帝（the Supreme Deity）禀报这一家人在这一年中的善恶，玉帝由此决定是否要赐福与这一家人。因此，人们就在厨房供奉瓜果甜点，以期灶王能够向玉帝美言，使他们来年幸福美满。
15. 守岁 Stay up Late/Shousui
相传有一种怪兽“年”， 每逢腊月三十晚上，它便窜出山林，掠食噬人。人们只好备些肉食放在门外，然后把大门关上，躲在家里，直到初一早晨，“年”饱餐后扬长而去，人们才开门相见，作揖道喜，互相祝贺。有一年，年又来到村子，人们发现它怕红色的东西和响声。于是又一年，当年来之前，人们在门上贴红纸，挂红灯笼，年来了，人们用空心竹子做的炮仗往地上摔，发出响亮的声音，终于，年被赶跑了。后来，中国民间在除夕就有了守岁、放鞭炮（set off firecrackers）、拜年的习俗。
守岁俗名“熬年”。守岁从吃年夜饭开始，这顿年夜饭要慢慢地吃，从掌灯时分入席，有的人家一直要吃到深夜。
16.拜年：pay a New Years call
通常，在正月初一这天，家长会带领小朋友走街串巷，拜贺亲朋。小辈会磕头致礼（kowtow to *** .），长辈则回以点心、压岁钱（lucky money）。
17.祭祖：offer sacrifices to ones ancestors
18.祭财神：worship the God of Wealth
19.春联：Spring Festival couplets
