春节习俗 Customs of the Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and also the most important one of the whole year. Through the evolvement of thousands of years, a series of customs are spreading far and wide.
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. In a word, just before the Spring Festival comes, every household will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new.
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. In the past, the Chinese usually wrote their own spring couplet with a brush or asked others to do for them, while nowadays, it is common for people to buy the printed spring couplet in the market.
贴窗花和“福”字 Pasting Paper-cuts and “Up-sided Fu”
Paper-cuts, usually with auspicious patterns, give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people looking forward to a good life. In addition to pasting paper-cuts on windows, it is common for Chinese to paste the character “fu（福）”, big and small, on walls, doors and doorposts around the houses. “Fu（福）” shows people’s yearning toward a good life. Some people even invert the character “fu（福）” to signify that blessing has arrived because “inverted” is a homonym for “arrive” in Chinese. Now many kinds of paper-cuts and “fu（福）” can be seen in the market before the Festival.
守岁 Staying Up Late on New Year's Eve
The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year, who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore, on every New Year’s Eve, every household would have supper together. After dinner, no one dared go to sleep and all the family members would sit together, chatting and emboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve is formed. Thus in China, “celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called “passing over the year (guo nian)”. However, now there are less and less people in cities who will stay up late to see New Year in.
贴年画 Pasting New Year Prints
The custom of pasting New Year Prints originated from the tradition of placing Door Gods on the external doors of houses. With the creation of board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods, Surplus Year after Year, Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity, An Abundant Harvest of Crops, Thriving Domestic Animals and Celebrating Spring. Four producing areas of New Year Print are Tɑohuɑwu of Suzhou, Yɑngliuqing of Tianjin, Wuqiɑng of Hebei and Weifang of Shangdong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities.
吃饺子 Having Jiaozi
On New Year’s Eve, the whole family will sit together to make jiaozi and celebrate the Spring Festival. The shape of jiaozi is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure. The tradition of having jiaozi is very important during the Spring Festival. You cannot have a complete Spring Festival without having jiaozi. (See page 82 for more information about “jiaozi”)
看春节联欢晚会 The CCTV New Year's Gala
The New Year’s Gala is a variety show held by China Central Television (CCTV) since 1983. For every year since then at the turn of the Lunar New Year, the program begins at 8:00PM and lasts five or six hours. It brings laughter to billions of people, creates many popular words and produces lots of TV phenomena meriting attention. For over twenty years, its value has gone far beyond a variety show. It is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. Many Chinese would like to watch the gala while having the dinner on New Year’s Eve.
放鞭炮 Setting off Firecrackers
The firecracker is a unique product in China. In ancient China, the sound of burning bamboo tubes was used to scare away wild animals and evil spirits. With the invention of the gunpowder, “firecracker” is also called “鞭炮biānpào” (“炮” in Chinese means gun) and used to foster a joyful atmosphere. The first thing every Chinese household does is to set off firecrackers and fireworks, which are meant to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new. In the past few years, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities including Beijing due to fire and personal casualty caused by burning firecrackers. However, some Chinese thought that a Spring Festival without firecrackers was not lively enough and they burned firecrackers by stealth. So in recent years, the ban was canceled again. This shows that burning firecrackers is a very important activity during the Spring Festival.
拜年和压岁钱 New Year's Visit and Gift Money
On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, everybody puts on their best clothes and pays ceremonial calls on their relatives and friends, wishing them all the luck in the coming year. Juniors will greet seniors, wishing them health and longevity, while seniors will give juniors some gift money as a wish for their safety in the coming year. When friends meet, they will wish each other happiness and prosperity with a big smile. With the development of the new technology, there is a change on the way of giving New Years greetings. In recent year, it is common to send New Years greetings by such modern means of communication as telephones, emails and text messages.
逛庙会 Temple Fair
Temple fair, usually held outside temples, is a kind of folk custom in China. During the Spring Festival, temple fair is one of the most important activities, in which there are such performances as acrobatics and Wushu, numerous kinds of local snacks and many kinds of things for everyday life. In recent years, the temple fair has become a place for people to appreciate the traditional art and experience the traditional life.

过年了,年前的大雪冻不住大街小巷里热闹的鞭炮声,人们的脸上都荡漾着愉快的笑容.说起过年,免不了提到吃.对于吃,杭州人更是妙“手”生“花”.大年三十夜,杭州人家里一般都备有几只口彩吉利的菜蔬,比如猪大肠叫做常常顺利；鱼圆肉圆称为团团圆圆；鲞头煮肉就是有想头；春饼裹肉丝暗指银包金丝；黄豆牙叫如意菜；落花生叫长生果；黄菱肉、藕、荸荠、红枣四物并煮美其名曰有富,杭州话藕的谐音为有,黄菱肉形似元宝,音形相加等于有富.吃完年夜饭,来看看杭州人过年的活动吧：杭州过年的娱乐活动大致有锣鼓、纸鸢、龙灯和花爆4种.所谓锣鼓又称年锣鼓,在大锣大鼓之外,加上脆鼓、小锣和竹板.年锣鼓在正月初五之内,多为商家所用,另外,年锣鼓还有为其它娱乐活动喧染助兴的功能.杭州人对各式年锣鼓有自己的说法：只闻其声不闻其词的取名为元宵鼓、招财鼓、雨夹雪和七五三；既闻其声又听其词的叫做十番、风云会和丝弦锣鼓；既无节奏又无言词的杭州人统称为乱劈柴.所谓纸鸢就是“鹞儿”.鹞儿用细竹为骨,制成飞禽形状,用纸或绢粘在上面,穿上线迎风放飞.杭州人向来心灵手巧,鹞儿的形状多彩多姿,有蜈蚣形、蝴蝶形、美人形、月亮形、星形等等；还有以竹为笛,把它绑在鹞儿的头上,使风声入笛,其声如筝,这种类型的鹞儿才是风筝.另外,过去杭州人还别出新裁地用很长的纸条,粘在小竹圈上,套在线中,等到鹞儿放到高处,将竹圈和纸条附线迎风而上,被杭州人称作灯鹞.龙灯的涵义比较宽泛,说小了它是用纸或绢蒙成各种形状,能够为燃烛避风的灯罩；说大了它就是正月十五或八月十五灯会的统称.原先杭州的船灯,一般以细木为骨,扎成船的形状,再蒙上皮纸或嵌上玻璃；还有马儿灯,用细竹扎成马的形状,但没有四条腿,用纸糊上,分为前后两截,每截当中点燃一支蜡烛,分别系在儿童前后身上,象骑马的样子；再有走马灯,灯中竖以麦秸,秸下插在细钉当中,灯的上面是纸制的风车,四边挂着纸剪的人和马,用烛烟驱动风车,旋转灯上的人马.走马灯和船灯,只能悬挂不能行动,而其他形状的灯则可以随龙灯大队一起喧闹于大街小巷之间.花爆就是烟花和爆竹的总称.最大的称烟火,要在空旷处搭架引放,以看烟花流荧为主；其次是花筒,小大由之,老少咸宜,点燃后既听其声又观其形；再次是炮杖,尤为少儿所喜,燃放后只为听其惊心动魄的一响.那时候杭州百姓燃放的花爆,多为花筒,比较著名的有在木盆中施放的金盆闹月、在池塘河溪中施放的水老鼠,以及不受地形限制,各到各处都可施放的九龙取水、二龙戏珠、白鹅生蛋、老鹳弹霞等等.一方水土酿就一方习俗.老杭州的过年习俗,反映了杭州人随缘、达观、仗义、机敏、幽默以及热爱生活、知书识礼、乐趣自取的一方民风,这实在是杭州人的福气.

Life in the USA:
Customs and habits
Meeting someone
When meeting someone for the first time, it is customary to shake hands, both for men and for women. Hugs are only exchanged between close friends. Kissing is not common, and men never kiss other men.
Americans will usually introduce themselves by their first name and last name (such as “Hello, I’m John Smith”), or, if the setting is very casual, by their first name only (“Hi, I’m John”). The common response when someone is introduced to you is “Pleased to meet you.” Unless someone is introduced to you with their title and last name (such as Mister Smith or Miss Johnson), you should address them by their first name. Americans normally address everyone they meet in a social or business setting by their first name. However, you should always address your college professors by their title and last name (such as Professor Jones), unless they ask you to do otherwise.
Speaking on the telephone
Americans normally answer the telephone by simply saying "Hello". If you are calling a business, the person answering the phone will give the name of the business and usually their own name as well. If the person you would like to speak to has answered the phone, you should say hello and state your name. If not, you should ask for that person politely: “May I please speak with Andrew Brown?”
The majority of Americans have answering machines in their homes. Also, the majority of businesses have voice mail accounts for their employees. When leaving a message, state your name clearly and leave a telephone number where you can be reached. Telephone messages should be brief and to the point.
Eating out
All restaurants in America accept cash for payment, and most (even some fast food restaurants) also accept credit cards. A few restaurants also accept ATM cards for payment. You will rarely find a restaurant that accepts checks.
It is common to have to wait for a table at a popular restaurant. There are many popular restaurants that do not accept reservations, or will only accept reservations for large parties (for example, six or more people). At these restaurants, the wait can be very long on a weekend night, sometimes up to 1 hour. However, almost all upscale, or more formal, restaurants will accept reservations.
Many restaurants in America (except for fast food restaurants) have a license to serve alcohol. Beer and wine are always available, and at some restaurants hard liquor (such as vodka or whisky) is also available. Restaurants that serve hard liquor are said to have “a full bar.” The drinking age in America is 21. If you look young, be prepared to show proof of your age when ordering alcohol.
Tipping
There are only a few situations where tipping is expected. The one you will encounter most often is at restaurants. American restaurants do not add a service charge to the bill. Therefore it is expected that the customer will leave a tip for the server. Common practice is to leave a tip that is equal to 15% of the total bill for acceptable service, and about 20% for superior service. If the service was unusually poor, then you could leave a smaller tip, about 10%.
Other professions where tipping is expected include hairdressers, taxi drivers, hotel porters, parking valets, and bartenders. The general rule is to tip approximately 15% of the bill. In situations where there is no bill (as with hotel porters and parking valets), the tip may range from $1 to $5, depending on the type of establishment and on how good the service was.
Smoking
Smoking is not as common in America as in many other countries. Generally, Americans smoke less than Europeans and much less than Asians. It is a practice that is becoming less and less socially acceptable.
Smoking is prohibited in many places. It is not allowed in any public buildings, on any public transportation (including airplane flights within the United States), in shops, movie theaters, schools, and office buildings. The general rule is if you are indoors, then you probably are not allowed to smoke. The exceptions are bars, nightclubs, and some restaurants. If a restaurant does allow smoking, it will only be in an area that is designated for smokers. If you are with someone, even outdoors, it is polite to ask if they mind before you start smoking.
The legal smoking age in America is 18. If you are buying cigarettes (or another tobacco product) and you look young, the store clerk is required by law to ask you for proof of legal age. You should be prepared to provide identification.
中国人见面打招呼时,喜欢问“你吃了吗?”“你去哪呀?”而西方人对此都感到很怪异.
Greeting
An American studying in China had an appointment at noon. As he was getting on his bicycle a Chinese friend passed by. "吃了吗?" the young Chinese asked. This, of course, is a common Chinese greeting around meal time and the American merely nodded with a smile, waved goodbye and went off. He realized that his friend' s remark was nothing more than a Chinese way of saying Hello or Hi. If the greeting had been put literally into English "Have you eaten yet?" Or " Have you had your lunch? " It would have sounded rather unusual. To Americans, this greeting might mean this: "I haven't either. Come on, let' s go together and get something to eat." or "If you haven' t, I was just going to invite you to my place." In other words, it could indicate an invitation to a meal.
Actually , another foreign student who had not been long in China once complained in broken Chinese:" 你们为什么老问我吃了饭没有?我有钱."To his way of thinking, people were concerned that he was not getting his meals properly because of lack of money. Clearly, he was offended. There is a similar Chinese greeting, such as ”上哪儿去啊?””到哪儿去啦?” which if translated literally, would be "Where are yon going?" Or "Where have you been?" The natural reaction of most English-speaking people to this greeting would most likely be "It' s none of your business!"
Fortunately, not all greetings sound strange or arouse displeasure. Many are similar , some are merely different. While greetings in many languages often indicate the time of day, there may be inconsistencies within a language. English has Good morning, Good afternoon and Good evening but not Good noon. And Good night is not a greeting at all, but an expression of farewell.
打招呼 一天中午,一个在中国学习的美国留学生有个约会.他刚要骑上自行车,一位中国朋友从旁边走过,问他：“吃了吗?”这是中国人在吃饭前后打招呼的常用语.美国留学生笑着点点头,挥挥手表示告别,就走了.他知道,中国朋友的话等于英语中的Hello或Hi,但如果照字面译成Have you eaten yet?或Have you had yourlunch?外国人听起来就很怪. 美国人会以为,这种打招呼似乎是说：“我也没有吃.走吧,我们一起去吃点东西吧.”或者说：“如果没有吃的话,我正要请你到我家去呢.”；总之,这样打招呼有时意味着邀请对方去吃饭 .
发生过这样的事.有一次,一个刚到中国不久的外国留学生结结巴巴地用汉语说：“你们为什么老问我吃了饭没有?我有钱.”他以为人们总问他“吃饭了吗”是因为怕他没钱吃饭.他显然对这种问法感到生气. 再如,汉语中的“上哪儿去啊?”和“到哪儿去啦?”这样打招呼的话直译成英语就是Where are you going?和Where have you been?用这两句英语来打招呼,大部分讲英语的人听了会不高兴,他们的反应很可能是：It' s none of your business! 你管得着吗!
幸而,打招呼的话并不都令人感到奇怪或者引起对方反感.有许多打招呼的话是相似的,有些只是说法不同.在许多语言里,打招呼的话往往是相似的,有些只是说法不同.在许多语言里,打招呼的话往往与时间有关,但即使在一种语言中也有不一致的地方.英语中有Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening 都相当于汉语中的“您好”,只是说的时间不同而已,但不说Good noon.而 Good night （晚安；明天见；再会）根本不是打招呼的话,这只是告别时说的话.
两个中国人初次见面时,没有什么特别的汉语说法,而多数讲英语的人初次见面总要说 I'm pleased to meet you (认识你很高兴）之类的客套话.分手时,他们还要说句 It's nice meeting you或It's nice to have met you（能认识你很高兴）之类的话.
人们分手时通常说Good-bye,Bye－bye,相当于中国人说“再见”.几乎所有语言中都有类似的说法.但在说 Good－bye或“再见”之前,还有些客套语很有意思,各种语言也不尽相同.如有贵客或不大熟的人来访或串门儿,客人离开时,按中国的习惯,主人要把客人送到房门口或大门口.客人对主人说“请留步”,主人最后要说“走好”、“慢走”、“慢点儿骑（自行车）之类的客套话.这些说法部不能直接译成英语.如果说Stay here,听起来十分别扭.如果说Go slowly, Walk slowly或Ride slowly,也很不自然.其实,微微一笑并作个表示再见的手势就可以了.
