It's officially the day of Chinese's New Year.
This year it is the year of the...
The traditional celebration and message for Chinese New Year is to reconcile, forget all grudges and wish peace and happiness for everyone. It is a celebration that marks the cleansing of all old ill-fortune and negativity in order to make way for wealth, health, happiness and good luck for the oncoming year.
As opposed to our New Year, the Chinese New Year is generally a 15 day celebration starting on the first day of the new year with a new moon and ending 15 days later on a full moon. The Chinese's New Year is based on the lunar and solar movements hence the great importance of the new and full moon. The traditional lantern displays occur on the 15th night and is called the Lantern Festival.
Chinese traditions date back for years and years and typically on New Year's Eve, there is a feast with the presence of the spirits of their ancestors, which symbolises family unity and honours the past and present generations.
Just like any other celebration, the main message is to be happy, and be thankful for health.
I wish everyone a very happy Chinese New Year :)
