Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, is a major celebration marking the beginning of the lunar calendar. It typically falls between late January and mid-February. Traditions include family reunions, festive meals, and cultural performances, such as lion dances. Each year is associated with one of the twelve zodiac animals, which are believed to influence the year's characteristics. The holiday lasts for 15 days, culminating in the Lantern Festival. It symbolizes renewal, togetherness, and the hope for prosperity and good fortune in the coming year.
