The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. It marks the beginning of a new year according to the lunar calendar and is celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country. The festival lasts for 15 days, starting from the eve of the lunar New Year until the Lantern Festival.

During this time, families gather together to enjoy a reunion dinner, exchange red envelopes filled with money, and participate in various cultural activities. One popular tradition is setting off fireworks and firecrackers to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. People also decorate their homes with couplets, paper cuttings, and lanterns to create an festive atmosphere.
