Many Chinese eat dumplings in the New Year because their shape resembles traditional Chinese gold and silver ingots(元宝)There are many Spring Festival taboos (禁忌). Crying on New Years Day means you will cry for the rest of the year, and washing your hair or sweeping the floor signifies carrying away good luck .The word for“four ”in Chinese is avoided, because it sound s like the word for “death”and using knives may“cut off ”good fortune .For some , the festival brings nostalgia（怀旧）, for the tradition is being swept away by fast development. “New Year isnt as much fun as it used to be, ”said some elderly people, whose childhood houses have been pulled down to make way for the skyscrapers“ we all lived in smaller houses and everyone knew everyone else.

Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure :a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.
