3 . In the long history of about 5,000 years, numerous Chinese traditional festivals were celebrated in memory of gods or some significant days, some of which are passed down from generation to generation.     1    .

Qingming Festival

Qingming Festival is on the 15th day after Spring Equinox, round April 4 or April 5 every year. People will go to worship their ancestors.     2    , so this festival is also called Tomb-sweeping Festival. In some areas, people are forbidden to use fire to cook food, so they only eat cool food.

Double Ninth Festival

    3    . The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name. Chinese people, especially the north Chinese, climb the mountains to the peak to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and admire the beauty of chrysanthemum.

Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice is on around December 22 or 23 of solar calendar each year. From Winter Solstice on, the daytime will be longer and longer. That day people in different regions eat different food. In the northern region, people eat dumplings and wonton (馄饨), while in the southern region rice balls.

    4    

In China, this festival is in late January or early February, the last day of the Lunar year. People celebrate it by having a family reunion dinner, setting off fireworks and staying up late.     5    , but if you did it, you have to say: “sui sui ping an”. It is a pun (双关语), meaning you will be healthy every year.

Chinese New Year’s Eve, a day when Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chú Xī. It literally means “Year-pass Eve”.

According to    4     (tale) and legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against     5     mythical (神话的) beast called Nian (年兽). Nian would come on the first day of New Year to devour livestock (牲畜), crops, and even villagers,     6     (especial) children. To protect     7    , the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year. It was believed that after the Nian     8     (eat) the food they prepared, it wouldn’t attack people any more. One time, people saw that the Nian was scared away by a little child wearing red.

Thanks to my conservative(保守的）family background,I didn't believe in angels(天使）.That is,not until Christmas Eve of 1979, when an angel brought unexpected joy to my home.

After divorce,my two daughters not only lost the safety of a whole family,they also tearfully(泪汪汪地）left behind neighborhood friends, a familiar school, and a large house. These had all been replaced with a narrow two-bedroom apartment in a poorer part of town .

I arranged to take my vacation during my children's winter holiday. We spent evenings planning activities: games, a pizza night , and evening car rides to view neighborhood holiday lights .With expectation , they seemed to be in good spirits .

The week before the school break, however, I was fired because of the company's poor performance. By Christmas Eve,sadness covered our vacation plans. An afternoon outing did little to improve our mood .

On returning to our apartment, we were astonished to see a beautiful,six-foot Christmas tree propped(支撑）against our front door. In silent wonder, we looked back and forth, from the tree to one another and around the empty street. Excitement built,and the girls begged to keep the tree.

"Maybe it's for us,"my older daughter guessed.

"Yeah,"repeated my younger child,"I bet an angel brought it to us!"

I laughed aloud at the idea of an angel bringing a Christmas tree to my family. Caught up in their happiness, I announced the tree "ours".

We moved it inside and headed out to the only upermarkets in our small town open that late on Christmas Eve. With holiday goods down to half price,I agreed to buy a tree stand(底座）,two boxes of colorful balls , some colorful lights , and one paper angel.
