What Spring Festival traditions do you observe? What are their meanings? I go back to my hometown, visit my extended family and get red packets! The Chinese New Year is a time of family reunion. The annual reunion dinner with members of my extended family is the biggest event of the festival. We eat Spring Festival cakes, or niangao, which symbolize increasing prosperity in each coming year. Red packets received from the elderly symbolize good luck and fortune. Discuss how the Chinese people, especially the young, celebrate the Spring Festival nowadays. Nowadays, the Chinese people, especially the young, are fond of having the family dinner in a restaurant and enjoying a film together with their family members. Sometimes, they spend a few days travelling with their family members around the country, or abroad. Sending online messages of greetings by social software is the most common way to give their wishes. And they are fond of “grabbing electronic red packets” on their smartphones. Why do the Chinese people attach so much importance to reunion during the Spring Festival? The answer to this question is deeply rooted in the traditional Chinese culture, which is characterized by a sense of family, or a sense of belonging. The concept of family has a great influence on the Chinese people, and three generations living under the same roof is good proof of a thriving family. Even if family members live apart, they must get back home at the Spring Festival and bring new year greetings to the family elders. They tell the family about their experiences and achievements while away from home, feeling content that they can bring glory to the family. Family reunions are also good occasions when children learn about their cultural inheritance, who will pass it down to their own children after they grow up. Traditionally, there are ceremonies of offering sacrifices to ancestors and people exchange new year greetings with their relatives and friends. Brought up in this harmonious atmosphere, children will naturally follow this tradition. 1. Are there any differences between the way you celebrate Spring Festival now and the way in the past? Talk it with your parents. 2. What do you think of these changes?
