　　春節(jié)是我國民間最隆重、最熱鬧的一個傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。春節(jié)時，家家戶戶都要做充足的準備。節(jié)前十天左右，人們就開始忙碌著采購年貨，為小孩子們添置新衣新帽，準備過年時穿。另外，節(jié)前人們會在家門口貼上紅紙寫成的春聯(lián)，屋里張貼色彩鮮艷、寓意吉祥的年畫，窗戶上貼著窗花，門前掛上大紅燈籠或貼“福” 字�！案！弊诌�可以倒貼，路人一念福倒了，也就意味著福氣到了。

　　Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival in China bustling with noise and excitement. During the Spring Festival, everything was in a state of preparedness for every family. About ten days before the festival, people began busy preparing special purchases, including new clothes and shoes for the children to embrace the new year. What’s more, people begin decorating their rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity, which include Spring Festival couplets on red paper pasted on the door panels, red paper-cuttings on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings on the wall, as well as red lanterns or the Chinese character ‘Fu’ (meaning blessing or happiness) on the front door. The Chinese character ‘Fu’ can be pasted normally or upside down, signifying good futune because in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole."
