Summary of passage

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a significant holiday in China where families gather to mark the start of a new year based on the lunar calendar. Lasting for about 15 days, each day holds special significance with vibrant decorations like red lanterns and paper cutouts symbolizing good luck. Red envelopes filled with money are given to children and unmarried adults for prosperity, while homes are cleaned to sweep away bad luck.

The reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve is a grand feast shared with loved ones, featuring traditional dishes like dumplings, fish, and noodles each holding symbolic meanings. Festivities include performances, parades, dragon and lion dances, fireworks, and firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. Chinese New Year is a time of joy, celebration, and hope for the future, a special occasion for reflection and anticipation of the year ahead. It is a cherished celebration for the Chinese people and a delightful experience for all to partake in.
