Chinese New Year

The 1st day of the Chinese lunar calendar, usually between late January and mid-February.

Red symbolizes prosperity and good fortune.
Fireworks and loud noises are believed to drive away evil spirits, ensuring a fresh start for the new year.

History

The Spring Festival dates back over 4,000 years to the Shang Dynasty. Originally a time to honor ancestors and deities, it later became associated with celebrating the lunar new year. The legend of the monster Nian, who was scared away by red decorations and firecrackers, adds a mythical dimension to the festival.
