用英语介绍春节流程？

1. 春节的简介

春节：the Spring Festival

阴历月：lunar month

返乡的人：home returnee

The Spring Festival, falling on the first day of the first lunar month, is the most important festival for the Chinese people. It's the time when all family members get together to celebrate it. People who live away from home will go back, making it the busiest time of the year for transportation systems. We call it "chunyun", which means "the transportation during the Spring Festival"，and it can last for about a month. Railway stations, long-distance bus stations, and airports are crowded with home returnees.

春节指的是阴历年的一月一日，这对中国人来说是最重要的节日，家人们欢聚一堂，庆祝佳节。离家在外的人们会在此时回家过节，这也是一年中交通最繁忙的时候，我们称之为“春运”，通常会持续一个月左右。火车站、长途汽车站、机场，到处都挤满了回家的旅客。
