The Chinese New Year

     The Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in China and Taiwan. There are totally 16 days, but we celebrate most in the first day to the third day, sixthday and the last day.
     The first day is the last day of the year in lunar calendar, we clean the house and then cook big meal. All family members eat dinner together tonight. The second day, we go to the temple to thank god that it let us peace and happy. After this, we go to relatives' and friends' house to give them the presents and talk about what happened last year. Next, the daughters in law go back their original family with their hunsband on the third day, they can't go back their orighinal familly before this day. Then, the sixthday is the best day to start the business in the new year, everyone goes back their conpany to turn on the light in the office, start the car and pray everything will be successful in this year. At the last day of the Chinese New Year, all Chinese eat rice balls in the morning, and every child takes lantern which is made of the paper and goes outside to try to find something good in the night. At the last of the last day, we will play the fireworks in midnight to celebarate the end of the Chinese New Year.
