HappycChinese New Year !
- Chinese New Year is an annual festival celebrated by people of Chinese descent all over the world.
- It marks the beginning of the new year on the Chinese lunar calendar and is often celebrated with a traditional family reunion dinner, fireworks, and decorations.
- According to legend, the celebration of Chinese New Year began with the battle against a mythical beast called “Nian” (year in Chinese).
- Nian would come on the first day of the new year to prey on villagers, especially children.
- To ward off the beast, villagers would hang red banners around their houses, set off firecrackers, and put food outside their doors for Nian to eat.
- Eventually, these practices evolved into the customs of celebrating the Chinese New Year we know today.
- During Chinese New Year, Chinese people also celebrate family, honoring their ancestors and elders, and exchanging gifts.
