In China people usually say "wei" (hello) first when beginning a telephone conversation. If you call an old acquaintance and recognize his/her voice, you may address him/her directly by name. Otherwise, you have to make clear who the other person is by saying, "Hello! Excuse me. Are you so-and-so?" or "Hello! Are you so-and-so?" instead of saying "I an so-and-so" first. "So-and-so" may be name of a person or a company.
e.g.
--Wèi, shì lǐ míng ma?
(Hello! Are you Li Ming?)
--Duì, shì wǒ. Nǐ shì Qí Qí ma?
(Yes, I am Li Ming. You are Qi Qi, aren't you?)
One usually says, "You dialed the wrong number" when receiving a wrong call.
e.g.
--Wèi, shì lǐ míng ma?
(Hello! Are you Li Ming?)
--Bú shì, nǐ dǎ cuò le.
(No, you dialed the wrong number.)

The New Year celebrations ended on the 15th of the First Moon with the Lantern Festival. On the evening of that day, people carried lanterns into the streets to take part in a great parade. Young men would highlight the parade with a dragon dance. The dragon was made of bamboo, silk, and paper, and might stretch for more than hundred feet in length. The bobbing and weaving of the dragon was an impressive sight, and formed a fitting finish to the New Year festival.
