春节的起源
The Spring Festival 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.
春节起源于商朝（约公元前1600年-公元前1100年），是人们在旧年结束和新年开始时对神灵和祖先的祭祀活动。
春节的习俗
扫尘：Sweeping the Dust. “Dust” is homophonic with “chen”（尘）in Chinese, which means old and past. In this way, “sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life.
“扫尘”中的“尘”与汉语中的“陈”谐音，意味着旧的和过去的。因此，春节前的“扫尘”意味着对房屋进行彻底的清扫，以扫除过去一年的厄运。这一习俗表达了人们摒弃旧物、迎接新生活的美好愿望。
贴春联：Pasting Spring Couplets. The Spring Couplet, also called “couplet” and “a pair of antithetical phrases”, is a special form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll bearing an inscription, usually an auspicious phrase, above the gate. The sentence pasting on the right side of the door is called the first line of the couplet and the one on the left the second line. On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household will paste on doors a spring couplet written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival.
春联，又称“对联”和“一对对仗句”，是中国的一种特殊文学形式。春联由门两侧的两个对仗句子和门上方的横批组成，横批通常是一个吉祥的短语。贴在门右侧的句子称为上联，左侧的称为下联。在春节前夕，家家户户都会在门上贴上用红纸写的春联，以营造节日的欢乐和繁荣氛围。
守岁：Staying Up Late on New Year's Eve. In Chinese mythology, a monster called nian would come out to harm people on New Year's Eve, so people get together, staying up and chatting, hoping for a peaceful passage of time. The custom of staying up symbolizes the warding off of all diseases and disasters and wishing good luck in the New Year.
在中国神话中，一个叫“年”的怪物会在除夕出来伤害人们，所以人们聚在一起，熬夜聊天，希望能平安度过这段时间。守岁的习俗象征着远离所有疾病和灾难，并祝愿新年好运。
