节日的用意是庆祝重要的事件，每年的不同时候都有节日。在古代，人们没有足够的食物，经常饥饿致死，只有在过节时他们才能饱吃一顿。春节是中国最重要的节日，它庆祝农历新年的到来，也是家人团聚的时候。除夕之夜，人们穿着漂亮的新衣服，与家人团聚一起吃丰盛的年饭。大人习惯上要给孩子们压岁钱，祝福孩子们新年好运。在许多地方，人们放鞭炮。饺子是最传统的食物。孩子们盼望过新年，因为他们可以吃美味的东西，穿新衣服，开心地玩，更重要得是，他们可以得到父母、亲戚的压岁钱。

Festivals are meant to celebrate important events and they take place in different time of year. In ancient times, people had not enough to eat and often starved to death. Only in festivals could they have a big meal. The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China to celebrate the arrival of lunar new year. It is the time for the reunion of the family members. In the evening before the Spring Festival, dressed up in beautiful new clothes, families get together and have a big meal. It is the custom of the adults to give lucky money to the children for good luck. In many places people like to set off firecrackers. Dumplings are the most traditional food. Children like the festival very much, because they can have delicious food, wear new clothes and have fun with each other. Most importantly, they can get some lucky money from their parents and relatives.
