    Customs(习俗) are social habits. They have been handed down through generations(代) among groups, social classes, etc. Customs can be described as ways of doing things. They are especially strong in social practices on the occasions(场合) of births, marriages and deaths.

    In China, these days, some people in cities are learning from Western customs. For example, some brides(新娘) dress in the long white dress that is usual bridal wear in many Western countries. Every people(民族) has special customs for the New Year. The Han people have many interesting Spring Festival customs. And now, quite a number of people living in the cities have followed the Western custom of sending New Year greeting cards.

    One interesting custom in China is that Mothers Wrap(包) up their babies tightly(紧紧地). This is not the custom in Western countries, where babies are usually dressed in loose garments.
