New Year Greetings(Bai Nian)

春節(jié)的問候（拜年）

On the first day of the New Year or shortly thereafter, everybody wears new clothes and greets relatives and friends with bows and Gongxi (congratulations), wishing each other good luck, happiness during the new year. In Chinese villages, some villagers may have hundreds of relatives so they have to spend more than two weeks visiting their relatives.

在春節(jié)第一天或此后不久，大家都穿著新衣服，帶著弓向親戚和朋友打招呼并恭喜（祝賀），彼此祝愿在新的一年里好運(yùn)，幸福。在中國(guó)農(nóng)村，有些村民可能有數(shù)以百計(jì)的親戚，所以他們不得不拿出兩個(gè)多星期來走親訪友。

On the first day of the new year, it's customary forthe younger generations to visit the elders, wishing them healthy and longevity.

春節(jié)第一天，按習(xí)慣，小一輩人要拜見老一輩，祝愿他們健康長(zhǎng)壽。

Because visiting relatives and friends takes a lotof time, now, some busy people will send New Year cards to express their good wishes rather than pay a visit personally.

因?yàn)樘接H訪友花費(fèi)大量時(shí)間，所以，現(xiàn)在有些忙碌的人就送春節(jié)賀卡來表達(dá)他們的良好祝愿，而不是親自去拜訪。
