The spring festival, having sustained many dynasties in China, is the most important festival in the concept of Chinese people. As the clock does the last click of the old year, all people set off fireworks at the same time, which tells the world a new year is coming.

As mentioned above, at the last minute before the New Year is coming, people light firecracker at the same time. It is noisy but the air is filled with joy and laughter.

What do Chinese people eat on Spring Festival?

At the first morning of the New Year, according to tradition passed down by old people, people have vegetarian dumplings that were made yesterday. During the spring festival, Chinese people also eat rice cake, which was called 年(Nian 2) 年(Nian 2)糕(Gao 1) having the same pronunciation with年(Nian 2) 年(Nian 2) 高(Gao 1). In China, 年(Nian 2) 年(Nian 2) 高(Gao 1) means people will have a good promotion in everything in a new year. Dumpling and rice cake is the typical food that Chinese people have on spring festival. There is other numerous and different kinds of spring festival food because of different province.

The spring festival means much more for Chinese people than what was talked above. Foreign friends could spare some time to learn more about it.
