Spring Festival

In the east of the world, there is a festival which, like a bright pearl, illuminates the winter cold and warms the hearts of millions of people. This festival is the Chinese New Year, a grand celebration that allows Chinese people around the world to celebrate reunion, the old and the new. Through this article, we send out a sincere invitation to our friends around the world to come into this festival full of charm and magic, and experience a New Year's feast across the border. Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, is one of the most important traditional Festivals in China, usually celebrated on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar every year. It marks the end of the old year and the beginning of a new one, and is a time for family reunions and sharing the joys of life. No matter where they are, Chinese people try their best to return to their hometowns to celebrate this meaningful festival with their families.

The Spring Festival is rich in cultural connotations and moving legends. One of the most widely known is the story of the “Nianshou(New Year Beast)”. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a fierce beast called “Nian”, which would come out at the end of every year to harm people and animals. Later, people found out that “Nian” was afraid of red color, fire and explosions, so they hung red lanterns, pasted red spring couplets and set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve to drive away the “Nian Beast” and pray for peace and good luck. Over time, “New Year's Eve” gradually evolved into a traditional festival to celebrate the harvest and pray for good luck in the coming year, while reunion became the eternal theme of the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is celebrated with colorful events all over China. You can witness the festive scenes of Spring Festival couplets and lanterns being put up in every home; taste a variety of traditional foods such as dumplings, rice cakes, and tangyuan, which are not only delicious, but also hold people's aspirations and blessings for a better life; and take part in folkloric activities such as dragon and lion dances, stilt walkers, and firecrackers, to feel the hustle and bustle of the festivities. In addition, during the Spring Festival, there are customs such as paying New Year's greetings and handing out red envelopes, so that you can experience the traditional culture and at the same time feel the strong human flavor and festive atmosphere.
