About Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year, usually known as the Spring Festival in present day East Timor, is an essential Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the conventional lunisolar Chinese schedule. It is one of a few Lunar New Years in Asia. Celebrations generally keep running from the night going before the first day, to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the primary logbook month. The primary day of the New Year falls on the new moon between January 21 and February 20 in , the main day of the Lunar New Year was on Friday, 16 February, starting the time of the Dog.

The New Year festival is hundreds of years old and related with a few legends and traditions. Customarily, the celebration was an opportunity to respect divinities and progenitors. Inside China, territorial traditions and conventions concerning the festival of the Lunar New Year differ generally. Frequently, the night going before Lunar New Year's Day is an event for Chinese families to assemble for the yearly get-together supper.

It is also conventional for each family to altogether clean the house, keeping in mind the end goal to clear away any evil fortune and to clear a path for approaching good fortunes. Windows and entryways are adorned with red shading paper-cuts and couplets with mainstream topics of "favorable luck" or "joy", "riches", and "life span". Different exercises incorporate lightingfireworks and giving cash in red paper envelopes. In around 33% of the Mainland populace, or 500 million Northerners, dumplings highlight conspicuously in the suppers praising the celebration.
