Why we celebrate Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is a spring festival that begins on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month on the Chinese calendar. The festival lasts 23 days and ends on the 15th day of the first lunar month next year in the Chinese calendar. According to historical data on the day when Shun – the mythological emperor of ancient China, came to the throne more than 4000 years ago, he led his ministers to worship heaven and earth. Since that time, this day is considered the first day of the first lunar month of the Chinese calendar. In 1911, the country adoptedThe Gregorian calendar, according to which the New Year was renamed the Spring Festival.
What Do People Do
Chinese New Year is associated with the cleaning of the house, which is connected with the greeting of the Spring Festival. Exhibited red posters with poems on the door, Chinese paintings with red lanterns hang on the walls. On this day, relatives come to visit each other. In the evening of the Spring Festival, fireworks are arranged. Children are given money for good luck. Beating drums and shock gongs, dragon and lion dancing are part of the Spring Festival celebration.
