The Spring Festival travel rush, witnessed by tens of thousands people going home, gets more and more frightening every year. Firecrackers are more extravagant. The Spring Festival eve dinner gets even more delicious. However, most Chinese people feel that the atmosphere of Spring Festival, or Nianwei, is fading. Now, let's learn some customs of the Spring Festival. |
Cleaning In Chinese, the pronunciation of "尘"(dust) and "陈"(stale things) are the same, so cleaning the dust before the Spring Festival eve means kicking poverty and bad luck out of the house. The tradition shows people's hope to bid farewell to the old and greet the new. |
Spring Festival couplets The tradition of pasting Spring Festival couplets on the doors originated during the Song Dynasty and became popular during the Ming Dynasty. The couplets are composed of neat, antithetic, compact and ingenious words to describe society and express good wishes. It is a unique Chinese literary form. |
Staying up the whole night The tradition of staying up the whole night on New Year's eve had two meanings in ancient times. The old stayed up to bid farewell to the old year, which reminds them to cherish every moment of time. While for the young, staying up was an act to show they wish their parents a long life. In modern times, people stay up the whole night to war d off disease and disasters and to wish for good luck in the New Year. |
Firecrackers Firecrackers date back over 2,000 years. The cracking sounds they make are perfect for creating a joyous atmosphere, and thus exploding firecrackers has become an important part of celebrations. They are also thought to bring happiness and good luck. |
