Celebrating the Chinese New Year
During the Chinese New Year, families celebrate for two weeks. They decorate their homes with lanterns, flowers, and other colorful items. Cleaning the house is also important to get rid of bad luck from the previous year. Being with family on New Year’s Eve is crucial, and they share a big meal, including fish, rice, meats, and vegetables, each with its special meaning for good luck. On New Year’s Day, people wear new clothes, often red, believed to be lucky. Parents give children a traditional gift called “li xi” or lucky money, which is money in a red and gold envelope. Many large cities worldwide, like London, New York, and San Francisco, have areas known as Chinatown, with Chinese shops and restaurants. A significant part of the celebration is the parade on New Year’s Day. The dragon is a key element as it symbolizes nobility and luck. The dragon in the parade can be up to 25 meters long, with about 60 people moving underneath it. People throw money at the dragon, and it tries to catch it in its mouth. Lion dancing, another ancient tradition, is also part of the parade, with two people usually moving under each lion. Musicians play drums and symbols during the lion dance. Fireworks are part of the festivities because noise is believed to scare away evil spirits. In the parade, children represent the 12 animals of the Chinese calendar, often wearing costumes of their favorite animal.
