向一个英语母语人士介绍中国春节及其传统。
Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is the most important traditional festival in China. It takes place on the first day of the lunar calendar, usually falling in late January or early February.

During the Spring Festival, people in China follow many traditions, such as sweeping away bad luck, decorating with red lanterns, giving money in red envelopes, and having family reunions. They also prepare and share special foods, including dumplings and glutinous rice cakes.

The festival lasts for 15 days, and culminates in the Lantern Festival, when people light and release paper lanterns into the sky. It is a time of celebration and new beginnings, and is considered to be the most important holiday in China.
