Chinese culture

In Taiwan, there are so many different cultures. Such as we have to sweep a grave on 4/5, and we have to reunite with their families. However, I think the Chinese New Year is the most important culture in Taiwan.
Source of the Chinese New year, with good grounds, it can be before tracing back to several thousand years to be and abundant and adopt more colorful legends. And the most famous one is the legend of ' the annual beast '. 'The annual beast ' is one kind of violent wild animal; ancient people believe ' the annual beast ' will come out to take to people at New Year's Eve. Legend ' annual beast ' fear getting red, flame and noisy sound very much, so people stick the red note to at the door, and light the torch, set off the big gun candle whole night, to avoid ' the annual beast '. Have reached the next day early in the morning, that ' congratulate on ' can be heard without end, defeat the victory and happiness of living again of ' annual beast ' filling the air in the air.
Besides, like other festivals, the food also plays a very important role during the Chinese New Year. Take an example, the fish are indispensable operas involving much singing and action in the Chinese New Year’s Eve, because the fish are symbolizing ' have enough and to spare every year '; The fragrant-flowered garlic represents ' for ever '; Turnip have meaning of ' good luck ', but fish ball and burger are representative ' reunion '. In addition, New Year cake means ' getting promotion continuously ', boiled meat dumpling because form look like shoe-shaped gold ingot, drinking water dumpling means accumulate the wealth for the coming year the Chinese New Year.
The main reason of why I think the Chinese New Year is the most important culture in Taiwan is that no matter how society changes, this idea of reuniting with family is still occupying the most important position in the celebration activity in New Year. So, if you didn’t go home for a long time, don’t forget to go home on the Chinese New Year!
