You must know something about the Tomato Fight Festival in Spain, but you may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival. It is less well-known than the tomato fight festival, but it is full of fun, too.

The Haro Wine Festival is held every year in June in Haro, one of the most important wine-producing towns in northern Spain. The festival dates back to the 13th century when Haro had a dispute with its neighbor because of the land. Sometimes, people from the two sides would get into a fight by pouring wine at each other. Over the years, the dispute has finally come to an agreement, but the tradition has remained and become what today we call a "wine fight".

The "wine fight" begins early in the morning. People are armed with buckets (桶), water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they spray (喷洒) the wine onto their friends or strangers. Everyone is supposed to wear a white shirt during the "fight" because it is easily colored. The "fight" will last for several hours until everyone is wet and their shirts become bright purple. Then they will return to the center of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks.

Each year, thousands of people, locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe, one day, you can become a member of them.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar. This day always has the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.

Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on show in trees, or along river banks. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles (谜语). The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character (汉字), a famous person, or a place.

The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.

In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic (浪漫的). Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd. Suddenly I turned, and there she stood, in the dim (昏暗的) light.

One possible version:

At my school, we are talking about how to introduce our traditional festivals to foreigners. Of all the traditional Chinese festivals, the Spring Festival is my favorite.

I usually celebrate it with my family. The true spirit of this festival is reunion and company. So during the holiday, my whole family gets together.We watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV and eat delicious food.We play cards, chat and enjoy being around with each other. On New Year's Eve, as soon as the clock strikes twelve, everyone cheers. When the streets are filled with the air of happiness, you will feel the magic of the festival.

In a word, through the Spring Festival,we can feel the beauty of Chinese culture and embrace traditional customs. I truly love it!
