[quote=RITA                    ,19128]The Spring Festival is definitely considered more important and celebrated more than the Lantern Festival. But these two are inseparable, we always hear (older) people say the Lantern Festival is the conclusion of the NEW YEAR celebrations, that's true. When I was younger, I always found excuses to escape homework or put away things I did not like. But when the Lantern Festival came, I know I have to "face the music" - started to study hard, etc.On New Year's Eve/ Day and on the days like the 5th day of the first month of lunar calendar, there are a lot of fireworks (in the cities permitted, of course), mostly those make huge sounds, hehe~, but (I am so sure) I think the fireworks on lantern festival will be very beautiful and not much huge sounds. People (mostly children) carry lanterns walking around- when I was younger, we played the lanterns made by ourselves with candles - but now people would rather buy lantern with batteries, the later ones are more beautiful, but can not experience the fun of making lanterns.On Lantern Festival, we usually eat Tangyuan (dumplings made by sticky rice filled with stuffings) but on New Year's Day, we eat big dinner and Jiaozi in midnight in North China. People from South China may do not like wheat flour food and eat Tangyuan, too, right?I was born in North China, and have limited  experience living in South China. I hope members here from south China can tell you more about their stories. I am waiting to share!Enjoy your stay![/quote]
