新年快乐 🐉 Happy Chinese New Year! 🧧 Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year, is one of the most important traditional holidays in Chinese culture, marking the beginning of the lunar calendar. It is a time for family reunions, honoring ancestors, and welcoming the new year with hope and joy. Preparations for this festive occasion often include thorough cleaning of homes to sweep away bad luck and make way for good fortune. Families gather for festive meals, where dishes symbolize prosperity and happiness, such as fish for abundance and dumplings for wealth. One of the most iconic aspects of the celebration is the dragon and lion dances, which are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck and prosperity. The vibrant colors and lively movements of these performances are a feast for the eyes and an integral part of the festivities.
