Introduction to Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, is a significant festival that marks the beginning of a new year after the traditional one Chinese calendar marked. It is a celebration full of traditions and customs that are passed down from generation to generation.
Unlike the Western New Year, which begins on January 1, Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year because it is based on the lunisolar calendar. Chinese New Year can begin no earlier than January 21st and no later than February 20th.
Chinese New Year celebrations are deeply rooted in Chinese culture and date back to ancient sacrificial ceremonies held at the beginning of a new year. Although the festival is primarily celebrated in East Asia, celebrations take place worldwide, particularly in areas with large Chinese populations.
An important aspect of Chinese New Year is shaking off the old and introducing the new. This is reflected in many customs and rituals, such as thoroughly cleaning the house before the New Year to get rid of misfortune and bad luck, and hanging red lanterns and scrolls to attract good luck and prosperity for the coming year.
