Lunar New Year
In China and other East Asian countries, Lunar New Year is the most important holiday of the year. For fifteen days, people celebrate with traditions like special dances, parades, fireworks, and family gatherings. The traditional Chinese calendar follows the cycles of the moon, so the new year falls sometime between late January and mid-February.
Red is the most important color during this holiday—it symbolizes luck, happiness, and prosperity. Children often receive hóng bao, red envelopes with money inside, from their elders. People eat foods with special meaning, too, like long noodles to symbolize a long life. Families enjoy time together and get excited for the coming year.
