小年到十五 春節(jié)天天有講究

大年初一：金雞報(bào)曉

The first day of Chinese New Year, also known as the "day of chicken", officially begins at midnight.
午夜零點(diǎn)時(shí)分，人們正式跨入新年第一天，也叫“金雞報(bào)曉”。

It is traditional to light firecrackers and make as much of a din as possible to chase off the evil monster nian.
傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗是，人們會(huì)燃放鞭炮，盡可能制造大的喧鬧聲趕走邪惡的妖怪“年”。

Most importantly the oldest and most senior members are visited with the visits strengthening family kinship.
最重要的習(xí)俗是，人們會(huì)拜訪家中最年長(zhǎng)的長(zhǎng)輩，以加強(qiáng)家人之間的親情。

Senior members of the family hand out red envelopes containing cash (Chinese: ya sui qian), a form of blessing and to suppress aging and the challenges of the coming year, to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.
而家中的長(zhǎng)輩會(huì)給晚輩（主要是兒童和青少年）紅包（中國(guó)人稱之壓歲錢），代表著對(duì)晚輩的祝福，也是祈禱自己在來年身體康健、萬(wàn)事如意。
