Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. This holiday is celebrated for 15 days, starting from the first day of the lunar new year (usually in late January or early February) and ending on the fifteenth day, which is called the Lantern Festival.
During the Spring Festival, people usually travel back to their hometowns to reunite with their families.
There are many traditional customs and activities that are observed during the Spring Festival. One of the most important is to decorate homes and streets with red banners, red lanterns, and the symbolic Chinese character, "fu" (福), which means good fortune.
On New Year's Eve, families gather for a big reunion dinner, where they eat traditional foods such as dumplings, fish, and rice cake.
Another highlight of the Spring Festival is the dragon dance, in which performers hold up a long dragon made of fabric and dance through the streets to the beat of drums and cymbals. This is believed to bring good luck and drive away evil spirits.
On the fifteenth day of the New Year, the Lantern Festival is celebrated, where people hang up colorful lanterns and solve lantern riddles.
Overall, the Spring Festival is a time of great joy and celebration in China.
