When do we celebrate the Chinese New Year?

Unlike the western calendar, the Chinese calendar aligns with moon cycles, which make the Chinese New Year a movable celebration. The festival begins on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar cycle, this year falling on the 16th of February. The festivities extend for seven days, with the official conclusion marked 15 days post commencement. Intricately linked to these festivities is the Chinese zodiac, with each year representing a zodiac animal that signifies particular characteristics for those born within that year. Chinese New Year 2018 celebrates the Year of the Dog, symbolizing luck.

What traditions are integral to the celebration?

The Chinese New Year, often referred to as the Spring Festival, embodies the concepts of renewal and fresh beginnings. Participants clad in bright red attire, believed to keep bad luck at bay, paint a vivid picture against the backdrop of mesmerizing fire shows, dazzling parades, and vibrant lantern displays. The crackling of fireworks is a constant rhythmic beat throughout the festivities, thought to scare away evil spirits and cleanse the incoming year.
