Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, marks the beginning of a new lunar year and is one of the most celebrated holidays in the world. Families gather for reunion dinners, houses are decorated with red lanterns, and fireworks light up the night sky to drive away bad luck. Each year is represented by one of the twelve zodiac animals, symbolizing unique traits and fortunes. Traditional foods like dumplings and rice cakes represent prosperity and unity. Red envelopes containing money are given to children as a symbol of good fortune. Beyond the vibrant parades and lion dances, the essence of Chinese New Year lies in renewalโleaving behind the old and welcoming the new with hope, gratitude, and togetherness.
