The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past,people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.
The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one,rich in traditions,folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving,Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!
The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old — in fact,too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.
Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents,decoration materials,food and clothing. A huge clean—up gets underway days before the New Year,when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint,usually red,then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness,wealth and longevity printed on them.
The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns,which is a celebration with singing,dancing and lantern shows.
At the Festival,all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing,shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!
