哪位英语高手帮忙写一篇题目为“The Spring Festival”的高中英语作文
The
Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people
and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the
West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest
time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring
Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are
crowded with home returnees.
The
Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one
month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang
Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and
ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.
Strictly
speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of
the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the
next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and
the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have
seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.
