The Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. During the Spring Festival, no matter where people are, they will try to return home to reunite with their families. On New Year's Eve, the whole family sits together to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner, which is the most important moment of the Spring Festival. The dinner usually includes fish, because the Chinese word for fish sounds like surplus, symbolizing having more than enough every year. During the Spring Festival, people also put up spring couplets, set off firecrackers, and give red envelopes to children to express good wishes for the new year.
