A brief Introduction of the Chinese Spring Festival

The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the horse.（作文地带友情提示：2014年是马年，您要写别的年份，请修改此处）

Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. On the first or second day of the new year, people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.

I wish you have a good time during the Spring Festival.

马年百科：
我国传统以干支纪年，“干”即十天干：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、已、庚、辛、壬、癸，“支”即十二地支：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥。十个天干依次与十二个地支相搭配（单配单，双配双），即甲子、乙丑、丙寅、丁卯……癸亥，又到甲子、乙丑……，12和10的最小公倍数是60，所以10个和12个相组合，当然是刚好组成60组，从甲子算起，故又称六十甲子，六十花甲子。这样有点复杂又不好记，于是古人想到用动物来表达复杂的地支，这就是生肖。子鼠、丑牛、寅虎、卯兔、辰龙、巳蛇、午马、未羊、申猴、酉鸡、戌狗、亥猪。生肖是我国六甲记年中特有，应该从立春的那天算起。

在这里学到的不仅仅是英语，更多的是知识~
