Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival (春节/春節), is the most important traditional holiday in Chinese culture. It marks the beginning of the lunisolar new year and is a time for family reunions, honoring ancestors, and ushering in prosperity.
Traditional celebrations include giving red envelopes (hongbao), setting off firecrackers, lion and dragon dances, family reunion dinners, and decorating with spring couplets. The celebration lasts 15 days, culminating in the Lantern Festival.
