How to Celebrate New Year in China

How to Celebrate New Year in China

Chinese New Year is a time of celebration and lots of feasting. That being said, China actually does also celebrate New Year's day on the same day as in the West, more or less like in the South East. The reason for this is that it follows the lunar calendar, so New Year is a very special day for most Chinese, so it's no wonder that they have a large festive mood and are ready to enjoy themselves.

It is customary to give presents to close friends and relatives on New Year's day, because this is a time when friends and family come together and celebrate with one another and give each other gifts. This tradition can be seen all around the world, especially in Chinese families where the children, cousins, and other relations are given presents. This is because the gifts are considered to bring good luck to the family and the individual is expected to return the gifts to the family members after the holidays. In China, gifts are seen as a sign of love and affection and many times it is a form of reciprocation too.


The traditional New Year's day dress is black but nowadays it is very common to see the wearing of red and gold too. The traditional outfit is made up of long pants, long-sleeved shirt, white blouse with tie or belt, and white tie or belt to go with the dress. One of the biggest trends is the New Year's Eve party. This is a big bash organized by the family and friends of the person who is celebrating and it also includes lots of food and drink. The clothes don't really matter as this is a time when the clothes have to match the outfit.

If you want to attend a New Year's Eve party, the best way is to take your own car or hire a taxi and get there early. Also make sure that you arrive early so that you can avoid getting stuck in traffic and finding a place to stay because many people tend to rent a room on New Year's Eve in order to avoid the crowding. In the evening, get your friends or relatives to come along with you so that you will be able to enjoy the party even if it is quite hot.

In addition to the traditional clothes, it is customary to give someone a new home or get them a new watch as this is a symbol of good luck and a way to keep good luck and prosperity on New Year's day. For example, if the person you are giving it to has a son and a daughter, then you can give them a house each for the first child or a watch each year so that they can live together.

It is also important to practice Feng Shui if you want good luck and prosperity. It can help you relax and keep your house and environment in the best possible condition. You should also not let any negative energy or negative energies out of your home.
