From Chef Ming Tsai: Chinese New Year Festival and Recipes
Image via WikipediaFrom Denny: Chinese New Year 4709, that occurs in our Western year of 2011, starts its celebration on the new moon of February 3rd. It's considered a Spring festival and lasts for 15 days. This is the Year of the Rabbit and the Chinese sure do know how to celebrate! :)
Image via WikipediaLots of preparations go into this Lunar New Year celebration with organizing that gets underway about a month before the event. People start buying gifts, decorations, food and clothing.
The Chinese clean their houses thoroughly as part of the cleaning ritual to prepare for receiving the New Year. The tradition is the belief they are sweeping away bad luck. Bad luck or bad germs, it works either way.
Since red is the preferred color of Chinese culture they also apply fresh red paint to doors and windowpanes for the New Year. Windows and doors also get hung with happiness, wealth and longevity decorations.
On Chinese New Year's Eve there is a special dinner of dumplings and seafood to gift good wishes to all the diners. It's considered good luck to wear red to ward off evil spirits. Remember, don't wear black or white either because those colors are associated with sadness and mourning in Chinese culture.
