Dear Mike,

It is great to hear from you and I am happy to introduce you to the Chinese Spring Festival. This is the most important festival in China, and it is celebrated by people from all walks of life. Here is some information about the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival has a long history, dating back more than 4,000 years to the Shang Dynasty. It is the first day of the lunar calendar, which usually falls between late January and mid-February. The festival originated from the legend of Nian, a beast that preyed on people during the winter. The people learned to scare the beast away by using firecrackers and the color red. Thus, the custom of using firecrackers and decorating in red became part of the Spring Festival tradition.

The Spring Festival is a time for family reunions. People return to their hometowns to celebrate the festival with their families. The festival lasts for 15 days, and each day has its unique customs and traditions. Some of the most popular activities include cleaning the house, making dumplings, watching lion and dragon dances, and setting off fireworks. On the eve of the festival, families gather for a big feast and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

If you would like to experience the Spring Festival firsthand, I warmly invite you to come to China and celebrate with us. You will have the chance to taste traditional Chinese food, join in the festivities, and learn about our culture. I am sure you will have a wonderful time.

Best regards,

Li Hua
