春节，也被称为农历新年。对于中国人来说，这是规模，最重要的传统节日。就如同西方的圣诞节一样，春节是一家团聚的日子。

正月初一：拜年
除夕过后就是正月初一，人们都会外出拜年。这一天人们忙得不亦乐乎，彼此表达美好的祝福。据说，正月初一这天人们不能扔东西，这样他们就可以把财富留在自个的家里，来年就会福星高照，幸福满满。

正月初二：已婚妇女回门，给狗狗吃好
人们常说在祭祀之后，财神爷正月初二这天要上天。为了向神表达敬意，人们这天要吃馄饨，这是一种形状类似银锭的食物。传统上，已婚妇女要回娘家（回门儿），拜见亲生父母。第二天，中国人还要拜祖先和众神。由于这天是狗的生日，所以宠物和流浪狗都会有好吃的。

正月初三：扫墓，不上门拜访别人
过去三年间，家里有至亲过世的人是不能登门拜访别人的，这样可以表示敬意。人们在正月初三这天会去扫墓。有些人就说这天登门拜访别人是不吉利的，因为人们认为妖精这天会四处漫游，因此待在户外会倒霉的。

正月初五（破五）：拜财神爷
人们认为这天是财神爷的生日，所以要拜财神。早上燃放爆竹，迎接财神的到来。商家在这一天又开始营业。人们认为这天扫地不会再算是不吉利了。在北方，人们通常在这天吃饺子，同时会去拜访朋友和同学。

正月初七（人日）
农历正月初七这天叫做“人日”，传说女娲初创世，在造出了鸡狗猪牛马等动物后，于第七天造出了人，所以这一天是人类的生日。同时，人们也将这一天叫做“人胜节”、“人七日”、“人庆节”及“人口日”。

正月十五（元宵节）：吃元宵，赏花灯
元宵节，也叫做“上元节”，人们在农历正月十五这天庆祝这个节日。这是一年中出现的第一个满月，象征着春天来临。元宵节也被认为是春节的最后一天，同时这天也是家人团圆的好日子。根据中国民俗，元宵节夜里，人们点着漂亮的灯笼到户外赏月、燃放烟花、猜灯谜、吃元宵，共同欢庆元宵节。

“年”的传说
在传统文化中，春节亦被称为“过年”。传说“年”是一种凶猛异常的怪物，每天都会吃一种动物（包括人）。人们非常惧怕他，当“年”夜间出来活动时，人们会找地方躲起来。后来，人们发现“年”非常害怕红色和爆竹，于是，人们用红色和鞭炮来驱赶“年”。久而久之，春节用大红色和放鞭炮的习俗就保留了下来。
