Chinese New Year (Spring Festival)について
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival (Chūnjié), is the most important traditional festival in Chinese culture. It celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar, falling between January 21st and February 20th.
Chinese New Year has been celebrated for over 3,500 years. Its origins lie in ancient agricultural traditions marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring planting season. The festival traditionally lasted 15 days, culminating in the Lantern Festival.
Today, Chinese New Year is celebrated by over 1.5 billion people worldwide, not only in China but across Southeast Asia (in Vietnam it is called Tết, in Korea Seollal) and Chinese diaspora communities globally.
