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.
