Dear Kim:
I feel so happy to hear that you are interested in the Chinese spring festival, which is one most important symbol of Chinese culture. With my great honor, I am here sharing my knowledge about it with you.
The spring festival, also called Chinese New Year, enjoys a long history of over 4,000 years. Unlike other festivals, the Spring festival is a period of time, rather than a single day. It starts from the first day of a new year and ends on January 15th, , of course in the Chinese lunar calendar. But people usually start to celebrate the Spring Festival on the day before the New Year's Day, which is called "New Year's Eve", when all members of a family get together, have a big meal together(called Nian Ye Fan in Chinese) and watch the Spring Festival gala, indulged in the especially warm and sweet atmosphere of reunion.
There are a variety of activities during the Spring festival, among which at least three deserve your special attention. First, when the new year's first bell rings out the old year and rings in the new, adults and children get out of the houses and light crackers and fireworks, which decorates the sky into a colorful and magnificent stage.
Then, on the morning of the New Year's Day, people get up very early to stick couplets, on which all good wished are presented. Meanwhile, the red color of the couplets adds much to the joy of the splendid festival.
In addition, we have to visit our relatives from door to door as of the first day of the Spring Festival until the Lantern Festival, which is supposed to be a conclusion of the whole Spring Festival.
Kim, the short letter here surely fails me to give you a complete account of our Spring Festival. I sincerely hope, if possible, that you can come here in China to have a real experience about it.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
【关于春节的英语作文翻译】
金：
你好！
听说你对中国的春节很感兴趣，我很高兴。春节是中国文化中最重要的一个象征。这里，我很荣幸地与你分享一些我对春节所了解的知识。
春节，也叫作中国新年，有着超过4000多年的历史。与其他的节日不同，春节是一个时间段，而不是指单独某一天。它是从一月的第一天一直到十五日，当然是按照中国的农历。但是人们通常都从大年初一前一天就开始庆祝春节，这一天也叫除夕，一大家人会团聚起来，吃个大餐（我们中国人管它叫年夜饭），看春晚，沉浸在家人团聚的特殊温馨的氛围之中。
春节里有很多的活动，其中至少有三样事情值得你关注。首先，当新年的第一次钟声响起，一个辞旧迎新的时刻到来了，大人和小孩都会到室外去放鞭炮，放烟花，把整个天空装扮成了一个五彩缤纷的大舞台。
然后，在大年初一的早上，人们都很早起来贴春联。春联上写满了吉祥的话语。同时，春联的红色也为这个绚丽的节日增添了不少的欢乐。
还有，从年初一开始我们都要挨家挨户去拜访亲戚，一直到元宵节。元宵节的到来就意味着春节的结束。
金，短短的信件中我没法向你很详尽地描述好我们的春节。如果可能的话，我真心希望你能来中国好好的体验一下。
致敬
李华
