Chinese New Year ( Spring Festival )
Some of the customs based on superstitions are quite interesting. For example, on New Year¡¯s Day, people will not sweep the floor, do washing or dump their garbage out of the house, lest these would do away with their fortune. On the Lunar New Year¡¯s Eve, people like to stick the Chinese character ¡®Happiness¡¯ upside down on doors or walls, because ¡®upside down¡¯ in Chinese is a homophone of ¡®coming¡¯ or ¡®arriving¡¯. The custom of pasting couplets on the doors has a long history, in the ancient times, people hung short branches of peach tree on the doors or at the front gates for the purpose of driving away the evil things. Later they became peach wood boards with some Chinese characters written on them. With the invention of paper, on each of which was written a verse line to welcome the New Year to express wishes for happiness and good fortune. During the long time development, spring couplets have become a special form of literature with their own characteristic.
