The Chinese New Year is the most important holiday for the Chinese people. For the Chinese，the New Year comes with the first day of the First Moon，between January 21 and February 19. People get ready for the holiday for fifteen days.
Finally，at midnight it is the first day of the First Moon. People close the shops and the streets are empty. Everyone locks（锁） the doors and stays at home.
It is an important time for the family. The younger people bow(鞠躬) to the older people. The Chinese call this Ke Tou. This means “to touch the ground with the forehead（额头）”．Then the younger people wish the older people a happy New Year. The older people give children gifts of money inside envelopes（信封）. The family then go to sleep.
In the morning，people dress in（穿上） their best clothes. Some people stay at home，others go out to pay a New Year Call. They are very polite and do not use bad words. It's the most important day of the year.
