Chinese New Year is also called the Spring Festival. It may be any day from January to February each year. Or to make it simple, it is on the 1st three days of the 1st moon of the Chinese lunar year, the beginning of a new year. The Chinese celebrate the coming of spring and say goodbye to the old year. Each year has a different name of the 12 animals that rule the year. So there goes one after another the Rat Year, Ox Year, Tiger Year, Rabbit Year, Dragon Year, Snake Year, Horse Year, Sheep Year, Monkey Year, Rooster Year, Dog Year and the Boar(pig)year. To welcome the new year, housewives spend days cleaning the houses, preparing different kinds of food, making or buying new clothes, especially for children. Early in the morning on the New Year’s Day people would set firecrackers outside their house to frighten away any evil and wish a good year. Parents may give their children some money in red paper to wish them good luck. Families gather on the New Year’s Eve to have big dinners called “tuanyuanfan”, when they can enjoy all kinds of delicious food. During the Spring Festivals, people may hold activities such as parades or parties or dances to celebrate it. It is a time when they can have a lot of fun.
