1、春节必吃的三种食物：饺子、汤圆、年糕。北方初一吃饺子，南方吃汤圆。南北方很多地方在过年期间吃年糕，寓意“年年高”。
During the Spring Festival, three kinds of food are usually served. They are dumplings (jiaozi), sweet dumplings and sticky rice cake.
On the first day of the Chinese New year, people have jiaozi in north while sweet dumplings in south. As well, they eat the sticky rice cake which symbolizes having a higher position for jobholders or becoming taller for children.
2、年夜饭是春节期间最重视的一顿饭。除夕夜全家聚在一起，餐桌上有鸡、鸭、鱼、牛羊肉。鱼是必须有的，代表年年有余。
The Family Reunion Dinner plays a vital role in the Spring Festival. Family members get together to have a rich dinner on New Year’s Eve.
Apart from chicken, duck, pork, beef and mutton, fich is indispensable because it means abundance in materials in the next year.
3、春节期间各个地方有丰富的庆祝活动。贴对联，剪窗花，挂灯笼，放鞭炮，拜年，逛庙会等等。对孩子们来说，最开心的莫过于收到长辈们给的压岁钱。
Varieties of activities are held to observe this special festival.
People paste red couplets and papercutting on doors and windows, hang lanterns, light fireworks, pay a new year’s call to relatives, and go to the Temple Fairs etc..
For children, getting pocket money from the elders is the most delightful thing during the festival.
