48、蜜，步步高。 待第一聲雞啼響起，或是新年的鐘聲敲過，街上鞭炮齊鳴，響聲此起彼伏，家家喜氣洋洋，新的一年開始了，男女老少都穿著節(jié)日盛裝，先給家族中的長者拜年祝壽，節(jié)中還有給兒童壓歲錢，吃團年飯，初二、三就開始走親戚看朋友，相互拜年，道賀祝福，說些恭賀新喜、恭喜發(fā)財、恭喜、過年好等話，祭祖等活動。節(jié)日的熱烈氣氛不僅洋溢在各家各戶，也充滿各地的大街小巷，一些地方的街市上還有舞獅子，耍龍燈，演社火，游花市，逛廟會等習俗。這期間花燈滿城，游人滿街，熱鬧非凡，盛況空前，直要鬧到正月十五元宵節(jié)過后，春節(jié)才算真正結(jié)束了。春節(jié)是漢族最重要的節(jié)日，但是滿、蒙古，瑤、壯、白、高山、赫哲、哈尼、達斡爾、侗、黎等十幾個

49、少數(shù)民族也有過春節(jié)的習俗，只是過節(jié)的形式更有自己的民族特色，更蘊味無窮。Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together， just like Christmas in the West.
