Spring Festival

The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is a major cultural holiday celebrated in China and among Chinese communities worldwide. It marks the beginning of the lunar new year, usually between late January and mid-February. The festival is a time for family reunions, honoring ancestors, and welcoming new beginnings. It features traditions such as decorated homes, festive meals, giving red envelopes with money, lion and dragon dances, and fireworks. The Spring Festival emphasizes renewal, prosperity, and harmony, and lasts for about 15 days, concluding with the Lantern Festival.
