I)Chinese New Year
1)Introduction
Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It remains the most important social and economic event in China. Originally tied to the lunar-solar Chinese calendar, the holiday was a time to honor household and heavenly deities as well as ancestors. It was also a time to bring family together for feasting. With the popular adoption in China of the Western calendar in 1912, the Chinese joined in celebrating January 1 as New Year's Day. China, however, continues to celebrate the traditional Chinese New Year, although in a shorter version with a new name : the Spring Festival.
Chinese New Year's Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chúxī, literally "remove evening" or "Eve of the Passing Year." Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year" and Agriculture Calendar's New Year.
Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations, such as China, including Hong Kong, Macau, Singapour, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, mauritius, Philippines, Vietnam, and also in Chinatowns elsewhere. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors
