Associated with many myths and customs, the Chinese New Year arrives Feb. 12.
This is the Year of the Ox which, according to Chinese culture, is hard working, positive and honest.
One of the most important holidays in China, the new year (also commonly referred to as the Spring Festival) marks the end of winter and leads to the Lantern Festival held on the 15th day of the year.
The festival was traditionally a time to honour deities and ancestors. It’s also an important family time, with annual reunion dinner often central. It is also tradition that every family thoroughly clean their homes to sweep away bad fortune and make way for incoming good luck.
Lighting fireworks and presenting money in red paper envelopes are also common traditions, while in the northern regions of China dumplings are often served as the first meal of the year.
