Top 10 Facts about Chinese New Year -- +8613933068531

How much do you know about the Chinese New Year?

Chinese New Year is a Chinese festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional 
Chinese calendar.

Today let’s talk about the top 10 Facts about Chinese New Year

1 The festival date changes every year.

This is because it follows the lunar calendar, based on the movement of the moon. Usually, it falls 
on a day between mid-January and mid-February. In 2019, Chinese New Year falls on February 5

2 It is also called Spring Festival.                  

The festival usually falls after the solar term, Beginning of Spring (Li Chun), and is a festival in the
 spring, hence the name.

3 Chinese New Year starts a new animal’s zodiac year.

In China, each lunar cycle has 60 years and 12 years is regarded as a small cycle. Each of the 
12 years is defined by an animal sign: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, 
Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. 2019 is the Year of the Pig.

4 The celebration lasts for 15 days till Lantern Festival.

The peak time of the entire celebration is on Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the lunar 
new year. The 15th day is called Lantern Festival, marking the end of the celebration. 

People go out to watch the lantern party after eating Tangyuan.

5 One sixth of the world’s people celebrate it.

It is not only celebrated in Mainland China, but also observed in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, 
Singapore and some other Asian countries as well as China towns around the world.

In recent years, the celebrations in New York, London, Vancouver, Sydney and other overseas 
cities have spread out of Chinatowns. Chinese New Year has become one of the world’s most 
celebrated festivals.

6 It is the longest public holiday and the whole country is on the move.

Most employees have 7-12 days off the work, and students have one month winter vacation. 
The 2019 Chinese New Year holiday is from February 4th to 10th.

No matter where they are, people try their best to return home for a family reunion, like westerners 
attempting to spend Christmas with their families. Meanwhile, some families travel together during
 the holiday. This makes the world’s largest annual migration, known as the Spring Festival Travel
 Rush. The total trips made by plane, train, bus and ship can reach nearly 3 billion.

7 Reunion dinner is a ritual.

The reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is a big feast to commemorate the past year.
 This is the most important time to be with families.

After the reunion dinner, families sit together to watch the CCTV New Year's Gala while chatting. 
As the most watched TV program, the gala collects various well-selected performances, targeting 
audiences of different generations.

8 Then comes the annual largest usage of fireworks on the planet.

Fireworks are an indispensable part of the celebration to liven up the air of Spring Festival. 
All families set off fireworks to celebrate the festival. The biggest firework show is on Lunar 
New Year's Eve.

9 The celebration decorations are mostly in red.

Houses are decorated with red Spring Festival couplets, red lanterns, and red paper cuttings; city 
streets are lit up by red lanterns; and numerous people are dressed in red. This is because red in 
Chinese culture is the symbol of happiness, wealth and prosperity, and can ward off evil spirits 
and bring good luck. These red decorations are to the festival what Christmas trees are to Christmas.

10 “Guo Nian Hao” is one of the most used greetings.

This is like the westerners saying “Merry Christmas” to each other on Christmas Day. It means
 “Happy New Year”.

Why is the celebration also called "Guo Nian"? "Nian”is the Chinese word for year. In folk culture, 
the Spring Festival celebration is also called “Guo Nian” (meaning “passing a year”).
 In a Chinese New Year story, “Nian” is a fierce and cruel monster which eats livestock and kids,
 but it is scared of red color and cracker sound. Therefore, people use red decorations and fireworks
 to drive away “Nian”.
