Chinese New Year, known in modern Chinese as the "Spring Festival". Chinese New Year is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. In 2017, the first day of the Chinese New Year is on Saturday, 28 January, initiating another year of the rooster.

The most popular things are Red Envelopes and dish.

Red envelopes (Hongbao) always contain money in China, and are given, most commonly, to kids from their parents, grandparents, and others as Chinese New Year gifts.

Certain dishes are eaten during the Chinese New Year for their symbolic meaning. Lucky food is served during the 16-day festival season, especially New Year’s Eve, which is believed to bring good luck for the coming year. The auspicious symbolism of these foods is based on their pronunciations or appearance.

Chinese people believe what they do on the first day of the lunar year affects their luck in that year.

1. The moment New Year arrives there is a cacophony of fireworks and firecrackers all around, even in rural China.

2.A popular custom since ancient times, ancestor worship varies widely across China. Offering sacrifices to ancestors shows respect, piety, and missing departed relatives on such a special festival.

3. On the first day of the New Year, Chinese put on new clothes, and say "gongxi" and wish each other good luck and happiness in the New Year. 

4.Lion dances and dragon dances might be seen too on New Year's Day. Once very popular in China, they are reappearing in many places though.

Happy Spring Festival~~
