New Year in China
New Year in China is
completely different
and unique from any of the New
Year
celebrations made in any part of
the world.
It is also called as ‘The Spring
Festival'.
The day of New Year is celebrated
on
the first day of the first month of
the
Chinese calendar. In China, there
is no
one fixed day of the New Year, and
thus
the date changes every year.
The Chinese New Year festivities are held at
the end of January or beginning of February
for a period of one month.
During this time, Chinese people celebrate
the end of the winter season.
The celebration of the Chinese New Year is rich in
tradition and full of happiness.
Preparations
begin in December when shops are filled with people buying
gifts. Buying new shoes is extremely important because it is
believed that if you walk in old shoes on New Year’s Day, you
will have bad luck.
People buy new red clothes, get a haircut, and clean and
decorate their houses with red banners with popular themes
of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “long life”
On the Eve of Chinese New Year, they have a
big family supper.




Traditional dishes are
pigs, ducks, chicken and sweets.
Early the next morning, children greet
their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new
year, and receive money in red paper envelopes.
For the next two weeks, all shops are closed as people enjoy
visiting friends and relatives
Traditional New
Year's gifts are
oranges, tangerin
es and sweets.
Last day of Chinese New Year is celebrated as Lantern
Festival. Colourful lanterns are hung everywhere
In the streets a Dragon parade takes place
The dragon is very long, made of paper and
painted in bright colours.
Dragons are considered good luck in China.
Men stand under the dragon’s head and body.
The parade goes through the streets as people cheer and set
off firecrackers.
