Winter Solstice Festival
The Winter Solstice Festival is celebrated by many Eastern Asians. It's around December 22, when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun.
On the Winter Solstice Festival, we eat "Tang Yuans" (湯圓)or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize family unity and prosperity. They come in pink and white.
The pink ones mean happy events or weddings.
Eating "Tang Yuans" also symbolizes one becoming one year older and more mature.

Each firecracker is rolled up in red papers, as red is auspicious.Once
ignited, the firecracker lets out a loud popping noise and, as they are usually strung together by the hundreds, the firecrackers are known for their deafeningexplosions that are thought to scare away evil spirits.(See also Myths above.)
The burning of firecrackers also signifies a joyful time of year and has become an integral aspect of Chinese New Year celebrations.

Clothing mainly featuring the color is red or bright.
In The Chinese New Year,people believe the red color will scare away evil spirits and bad fortune.
In addition, people typically wear new clothes from head to toe to symbolize a new
beginning in the new year. Wearing new clothes also symbolizes having more than
enough things to use and wear in the new year.

Abundant blessing year after year!
On Chinese New Year's Eve, each family has a reunion. We frequently have fish for dinner because the word“fish”in Chinese sounds the same as the word“extra.”

Kitchen God, please say something good about me!!
Why do we eat rice cake on Chinese New Year?
In Chinese culture,we have a kitchen god.
The kitchen god will observe our deeds,
and tell the Jade emperor.
So we will sacrifice some Chinese dessert ( such as rice cake) for the kitchen god,
and to make the god happy,then it will say something good about us to the Jade emperor!!

Long new year's dish.

Our country has a traditional holiday.It is called Moon Festival. On Moon festival we eat a special food,it is Moon Cake. A moon cake looks like a moon. We eat moon cake on Moon Festival because there is a story about it.A long time ago,there was a emperor who was very mean to every body.A person wanted to kill him. So he told everyone to buy the moon cakes and he put many papers in many mooncakes.When everyone ate the moon cakes,they saw the paper.The words on the paper said:「We will kill the emperor tonight.」So when the emperor was sleeping,everyone went in and killed the emperor.That's why we eat moon cakes on Moon Festival.

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. The festival occurs on the fifth day of May on the Chinese calendar. Dragon Boat Festival is a holiday to commemorate Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a famous poet from ancient China. He was a wise man and his loyalty to his country never wavered. He knew how to do is better to the country but the sovereign didn’t think so. Qu Yuan felt dejected. He composed some poem to express his anger and sorrow towards his sovereign. In the year 278 BC, the fifth day of May, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Milou River. Every year on May 5th people will throw some special food called Zonzgi into the river. They wish the fish in the river will eat Zonzgi instead of Qu Yuan’s body.
Zonzgi is a special Chinese food. It makes from some rice, meat, mushrooms…… covered  with  leaves.
 Another activity we’ll do on Dragon Boat Festival is Dragon Boat race.People think that this activity can drive out the fish for trying to eat Qu Yuan’s body.
