Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. It usually falls between late January and early February on the lunar calendar. Families gather together to celebrate the beginning of a new year, hoping for good luck and prosperity.
During the Spring Festival, people clean their homes to sweep away bad luck and make room for good fortune. They decorate their doors and windows with red paper cutouts and couplets, symbolizing joy and happiness. The most significant tradition is the family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, where all family members come together to share a meal and spend time with each other.
The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, with various customs and activities taking place throughout this period. It is a time for family, friends, and communities to come together, enjoy traditional food, and participate in cultural performances such as dragon and lion dances, which add to the festive atmosphere.
