第一篇
Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 总的来说在中国最重要的节日是春节,亦称中国新年。对中国人民来说它的重要性就如方圣诞节对于西方人民。这个一年一次的节日日期取决于阴历而不是格里历，因此假日的时间变化从一月下旬到上旬2月。对普通的中国人，节日总是在除夕夜开始,结束于阴历的第一个月的第五天。 但1第一个月的15号，通常称灯会，在国家的大部分地区意味春节的正式结尾。
"Guo Nian," meaning "passing the year," is the common term among the Chinese people for celebrating the Spring Festival. It actually means greeting the New Year. At midnight at the turn of the old and New Year, people used to let off fire-crackers which serve to drive away the evil spirits and to greet the arrival of the New Year. In an instant the whole city would be engulfed in the deafening noise of the firecrackers.
“过年”意义为“度过这一年”，是中国百姓庆祝春节的共同术语。它事实上意味着欢迎新的一年。在新旧年交替的午夜，百姓习惯的放会赶走怪物的烟火，并且欢迎新年的到来。在那一瞬间，整个城市都响彻爆竹的震耳欲聋的声音。

In contemporary, New Year's day, refers to the Christian era at the first day. Since the western introduced into China, New Year's day after a word was dedicated to the New Year, the traditional JiuLiNian says the Spring Festival.

元”有始之意，“旦”指天明的时间，也通指白天。元旦，便是一年开始的第一天。“元旦”一词，最早出自南朝梁人萧子云《介雅》诗：“四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。”宋代吴自牧《梦梁录》卷一“正月”条目：“正月朔日，谓之元旦，俗呼为新年。
我国历代元旦的月日并不一致。夏代在正月初一，商代在十二月初一，周代在十一月初一，秦始皇统一六国后，又以十月初一日为元旦，自此历代相沿未改(《史记》)。汉武帝太初元年时，司马迁创立了“太初历”，这才又以正月初一为元旦，和夏代规定一样，所以又称“夏历”，一直沿用到辛亥革命。中华民国建立，孙中山为了“行夏正，所以顺农时;从西历，所以便统计”，定正月初一(元旦)为春节，而以西历(公历)1月1日为新年。
在当代，元旦指公元纪年的岁首第一天。自西历传入我国以后，元旦一词便专用于新年，传统的旧历年则称春节。
而在此之前，元旦一直是指农历岁首第一天的。元是“初”“始”的意思，旦指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一界全体会议决议：“中华人民共和国纪年采用公元纪年法”，即是我们所说的阳历，为了区别农历和阳历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四节气中的“立春”恰在农历新年的前后，因此便把农历正月初一改称为“春节”，阳历一月一日定为“元旦”，至此，元旦才成为全国人民的欢乐节日。
庆贺新年的开始，欢度元旦可说是世界各国各地区的普遍习俗。在我国，还列入了国定假日。我国和世界上大多数国家、地区采用公历纪年法，把1月1日定为新年的开始，称作“元旦”。
由于世界各国所处的经度位置不同，各国的时间也不同，因此，“元旦”的日期也有不同。如大洋洲的岛国汤加位于日界线的西侧，它是世界上最先开始的一天的地方，也是最先庆祝元旦的国家。而位于日界线东侧的西萨摩亚则是世界上最迟开始新的一天的地方。按公历计，我国是世界上第12个开始新年的国家
元旦歌歌曲：
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway
Happy new year
Happy new year
