Chinese New Year in Beijing

"Beijing's Spring Festival" is an essay from a collection by the renowned writer Lao She, primarily introducing how Beijing's Spring Festival begins in early December (lunar calendar) and concludes on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month. On Laba Day, people cook Laba porridge and soak Laba garlic. The Little New Year is celebrated on the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month. New Year's Eve is bustling, but the scene on the first day of the New Year is strikingly different. The Lantern Festival marks another climax of the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival finally ends on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month. Using simple, unadorned language imbued with a Beijing flavor, the author depicts a series of folk customs and traditions of old Beijing's Spring Festival, showcasing its grandeur and liveliness, revealing the warmth and beauty of Chinese festival customs, and expressing the author's fondness for traditional culture.
