Chinese NewYear



Hello  kids!

Last weekend the celebrations of the Chinese New Year began. This 2015 is adicated to the goat. The "Chinese New Year" is the most important celebration of the traditional Chinese holidays. On February 19, 2015 begins the year 4713 according to the Chinese calendar, and corresponds to the Year of the Goat. It is a period full of celebrations, the New Year's Day begins and ends with Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first month.  The family members living away from home make a special effort to return home and share a great meal. That is why public transport often overcrowded during these dates. Like all Chinese festivals are often accompanied by the typical gastronomy. The dishes prepared for the occasion are considered symbols of good luck. To receive the "Spring Festival" people clean their houses with old brooms, which are then thrown away,they hang red signs with poetic verses on their doors,and decorate with Chinese New Year pictures on the walls and red lanterns. Fireworks are thrown in order to bring prosperity. Children receive money from relatives and tradition close the remaining tasks facing the new year, so it is important to pay debts.
What chinese symbol are you?
