In China have special New Year,i think.Everything should new that means new year everything are new,new begin ,new mood ,new luck ,new spirit,etc. In countryside,that's very important.We usually play card ,chatting,playing on the new year eve until midnight,we cook dumpling that are special dumplings,because we put lots of coins inside that means if you eat lots of coins ,you are lucky this year.Before we cook dumpling we have to do fireworks that means the dead people can go home have a New Year.
We get up at 5 o'clock in the morning.Everyone make themselves up before go out.First,we should to kowtow to my grandmather.Then we follow my father go to my relation house to say happy New Year and to kowtow.All the relation must give us red envelop that is the most important thing for the children.
That is New Year in countryside of China.
