【在春节期间的英文作文】The Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. It usually falls in January or February, and it marks the beginning of the lunar new year. During this time, people all over the country celebrate with family, friends, and communities.
In my family, we always start preparing for the festival a few weeks in advance. We clean our house thoroughly to sweep away bad luck and make room for good fortune. We also buy new clothes, decorate the house with red paper cuts and lanterns, and write couplets with beautiful calligraphy. Red is the color of the festival because it symbolizes happiness and prosperity.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the whole family gathers together for a big dinner. We eat traditional foods like dumplings, fish, and rice cakes. These dishes have special meanings — for example, dumplings represent wealth, and fish means "having more than enough" every year.
After the meal, we watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV, which is a popular tradition across the country. It includes music performances, magic shows, and comedy sketches that bring joy to millions of people.
During the festival, children are especially excited because they receive red envelopes filled with money from their elders. This is a way to pass on good wishes and blessings to the younger generation.

Even though life has changed a lot in modern times, the spirit of the Spring Festival remains strong and continues to bring people closer.
