Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important traditional holiday in China, celebrated at the turn of the lunar calendar. The festival lasts for 15 days, beginning with the new moon and ending with the Lantern Festival.
It is a time for families to reunite, honor ancestors, and welcome the new year with various customs and activities, including fireworks, lion dances, and the giving of red envelopes containing money for good luck. Each year is associated with one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac.
