南方的春节
广东
在广东潮汕地区，农历十二月二十四日是“神明”上天“述职”之时。是日起，家家户户大扫除，用物和被帐都行清洗，谓之“采囤”。除夕前一二天，家家户户制作各式粿品，以备过年之用。除夕会逛花市，行花街，百合、橘树、菊花、桃花等都必不可少，因为花是最有好运的行花街，可以交好运，新年吉祥。农历正月初一日称元日，为新岁之首，春天之始。天方拂晓喜炮声声，家家户户厅中大桌上，红盘盛满大吉(即柑，柑大于桔，故称大吉)、青橄榄及各式精美糖果，门前张灯结彩，晚辈向上辈敬茶祝福。这天多数人家要吃素，最少是早餐不吃荤。早餐后大人携小孩带上大吉到亲友家拜年，主客互致新正如意，恭贺发财添福等吉利话;主人请客以大吉、槟榔(古俗敬槟榔，今用青橄榄代之)，共品工夫茶，客人赠上大吉贺主人吉祥如意，主人要以大吉回赠，俗谓转敬式换吉，意在回敬美好祝愿。
初一早，不少舞狮班及英歌队敲锣打鼓到各村各户参拜贺年，主人燃放鞭炮以迎。初二、初三日乡村圩镇多组织有庆新春文娱活动，除搭戏棚演潮剧、山歌剧、做皮影戏外，还有大锣鼓队、虎狮队、英歌队、舞龙队等沿街挨村寨游行表演。送压岁钱是潮汕春节习俗中重要的一项，长辈要分钱给后辈，能挣钱的后辈也要送钱给长辈。这些钱不能直愣愣地送，而要很讲究地装在一个利市包中，或者用一块红纸包看。这俗称为“压肚腰”，意谓一年从头到尾，腰包里都会满满实实、富富裕裕。在粤西北的西江肇庆段“小三峡”水面上，至今还生活着一些以船为家的“水上人家”。这些渔民有些是世世代代在船上生活，他们大多在船上做饭，大多依然烧木柴。渔民们还喜欢在江岸边空地上种上番薯、油菜、葱、蒜苗等，补贴生活。过年时，渔民们喜欢在船头贴上“一帆风顺”，在船舱上贴“万事顺意”和“老少平安”，还有独特的金钱剪纸图案的“红钱”，此外还要在船头放鞭炮、祭祖先，在岸上祭神，保佑自己平安幸福。
海南
在海南人看来，所有的民俗都是按人的意志、人的愿望，人为地做出来的，所以，在海南方言中，所有的民俗行为前面均加上一个“做”字，如做清明、做亲家(即结婚)，而北方人“过年”，海南方言叫“做年”。需要说明的是，“做年”指的是“做旧年”即过春节。而北方所说的过元旦，海南叫“做新年”。不过在海南乡下，“新年”是不当年来“做”的。海南俗话“年怕中秋，月怕十五”。一过中秋，乡下就筹备着“做年”。除夕晚上，室室点灯，家室有灯，夜以继日，一连数天直至初四天亮才罢;俗称“发灯”，取“添丁发财”之意。初一凌晨，无论老少都得起床吃“斋饭”(即为清净洁白以怀念祖先)。“斋饭”不但类似于伊斯兰教的清真食品，而且正如北方人过年必吃鱼(年年有余)一样，吃的东西还须有吉祥寓意，其中必有清炒茄子(茄子，海南话寓意一年比一年好)，清炒水芹菜(“芹”与“勤”谐音，祈望全家在新的一年勤勤劳劳)、长粉丝(寓意过日子细水长流)、黄黄的像金元宝状的豆腐干(寓意招财进宝)……
用英语介绍春节习俗
Second day 初二
The second day of the Chinese New Year is for married daughters to visit their birth parents. Traditionally, daughters who have been married may not have the opportunity to visit their birth families frequently.
On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.
Business people of the Cantonese dialect group will hold a 'Hoi Nin' prayer to start their business on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. The prayer is done to pray that they will be blessed with good luck and prosperity in their business for the year.
Third and fourth days 初三
The third and fourth day of the Chinese New Year are generally accepted as inappropriate days to visit relatives and friends due to the following schools of thought. People may subscribe to one or both thoughts.
1) It is known as "chì kǒu" (赤口), meaning that it is easy to get into arguments. It is suggested that the cause could be the fried food and visiting during the first two days of the New Year celebration.[citation needed]
2) Families who had an immediate kin deceased in the past 3 years will not go house-visiting as a form of respect to the dead, but people may visit them on this day. Some people then conclude that it is inauspicious to do any house visiting at all. The third day of the New Year is allocated to grave-visiting instead.
Fifth day 初五
In northern China, people eat jiǎo zi (simplified Chinese: 饺子; traditional Chinese: 餃子), or dumplings on the morning of Po Wu (破五). This is also the birthday of the Chinese god of wealth. In Taiwan, businesses traditionally re-open on this day, accompanied by firecrackers.
Seventh day 初七
The seventh day, traditionally known as renri 人日, the common man's birthday, the day when everyone grows one year older. It is the day when tossed raw fish salad, yusheng, is eaten. This is a custom primarily among the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia and Singapore. People get together to toss the colourful salad and make wishes for continued wealth and prosperity.
For many Chinese Buddhists, this is another day to avoid meat, the seventh day commemorating the birth of Sakra Devanam Indra.
