Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.
在中国，有关庆祝中国新年的地区习俗和传统差异很大。人们会倾其所有的钱去买礼物、装饰、材料、食物和衣服。家家户户彻底打扫屋子，扫除一切厄运，希望为来年的好运让路，这也是一种传统。门窗将用红色剪纸和流行主题为“幸福”、“财富”和“长寿”的对联装饰。除夕之夜，晚饭是家家户户的盛宴。食物包括猪、鸭、鸡和甜食。一家人将以鞭炮结束这一夜。第二天一早，孩子们会向父母致意，祝他们新年健康快乐，并收到红纸信封里的钱。中国的新年传统是一个伟大的方式来调和忘记所有的怨恨，真诚地祝愿每个人和平与幸福。
