The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional holiday in China. It falls on the first day of the lunar new year and lasts for about a week, usually from January to February.
The Spring Festival is a time for family reunions, as many Chinese people living abroad travel back to their hometowns to celebrate with their families. It is also a time for giving red envelopes (hongbao) to children as a symbol of good luck and a way of saying "Happy New Year".
Preparations for the festival begin well in advance. Homes are cleaned and decorated to sweep away bad luck and make way for incoming good luck. People also prepare special foods for the festival, such as dumplings, fish, and spring rolls, which are symbols of wealth and prosperity.
On the eve of the new year, families gather together to have a reunion dinner, often including dishes that are considered auspicious, such as fish or lobster, which are symbols of abundance and prosperity. After dinner, they watch the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which is a variety show with music, dance, and skits.
The next day, people visit relatives and friends, exchange greetings, and pay New Year's visits. This is a time for saying "Happy New Year" and "good luck" to each other. In some regions, dragon and lion dances are performed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits.
Overall, the Spring Festival is a time for family reunions, feasting, and celebrating good luck and prosperity. It is deeply ingrained in Chinese culture and traditions and is highly valued by the Chinese people.
