Composition: Happy New Year, please help. Thank you.

An important activity during the Spring Festival is to visit new friends’ homes to wish them a happy New Year, which is called New Year greetings. New Year greetings are a traditional custom among Chinese people. It is a way for people to bid farewell to the old year, welcome the new year, and express their best wishes to each other.

As for the origin of the custom of New Year greetings, it is said that in ancient times there was a monster with a horn on its head and a mouth like a blood basin. People called it "Nian". Every night on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it rushes out of the mountains and preys on people. People had no choice but to prepare some meat and put it outside the door, then close the door and hide in their homes. It was not until the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year that people opened the door to meet each other, bowed to each other and congratulated each other.

In ancient times, New Year greetings usually started at home. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay New Year greetings to their elders, wishing them good health, longevity and all the best. After the elders are worshiped, they should distribute the "New Year's money" prepared in advance to the younger generations. After paying New Year's greetings to the elders at home, people should also congratulate each other with a smile on their faces when they go out to congratulate each other on the New Year. They should also say auspicious words such as "Gong Xi Fa Cai", "Blessed Seasons", "Happy New Year", etc. Neighbors, relatives and friends also visit each other's homes. New Year greetings or invitations for drinking and entertainment. In ancient times, if there were too many relatives and friends and it was difficult to visit them all, they would send servants to bring business cards to pay New Year greetings, which was called "flying invitations". A red paper bag was posted in front of each house with the word "Receive blessings" written on it, which was regarded as a blessing. For the purpose of flying posts. Starting from about the Qing Dynasty, New Year greetings also took the form of "group worship".

With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings has constantly added new content and forms. Nowadays, in addition to following the previous methods of New Year greetings, people have also developed ceremonial New Year greetings via telegrams and telephone calls. Parents and friends can also ask your children to call relatives, teachers, and classmates to say New Year greetings, so as to practice their oral communication skills.

Winter vacation coincides with the Spring Festival. Parents can visit more with their children or entertain relatives and friends. Give children more opportunities to communicate with the outside world. However, some children are timid and shy when meeting guests, and do not know how to entertain them. After saying hello, they disappear in an instant; some children go their own way, showing lack of politeness and a bit indifference to their elders, relatives and friends. Both of these behaviors make us parents worry. Below we introduce to parents and friends some etiquette points for training children to treat guests:

(1) Hospitality:

1. Open the door quickly or take the initiative to greet guests outside the door, and be enthusiastic Greet the guests. If the guests are carrying heavy objects, offer help. For the elderly or the infirm, you can step forward to help.

2. After entering the room, guests are generally invited to sit on the most important seats, and then treated with tea and candies. When brewing tea, you must first clean the tea set. Each cup of tea should be poured into 2/3 of the height of the cup. Hold the tea in both hands and place it on the guest's right hand, respecting the elder first.

3. Afterwards, talk to the guests (greetings) in a timely manner and do not ignore the guests. If a guest asks to talk to his parents about something, he should take the initiative to avoid it. If your parents are not at home, you can only welcome the guests in if you are very familiar with them; for strangers, you can excuse them and ask them to come back another day.

4. When a guest says goodbye, he or she should usually stay politely. Wait for the guest to get up before starting to walk to the door, and say: "Please walk slowly...We welcome you back!"

1. Choose an appropriate time. It is best to make an appointment with the other party in advance.

2. When visiting guests, you should be neatly dressed and your appearance should be tidy.

3. Ring the doorbell or knock on the door gently before entering. You can only enter after there is an echo or someone opens the door.

4. When the host pours tea or gives candy, he should stand up and take it with both hands and say "thank you".

6. When leaving the home of relatives and friends, say goodbye solemnly.

7. The key to giving gifts is to express your feelings, not whether they are valuable or not; students are complete consumers, and gift-giving is generally not recommended.
