Watch about Chinese New Year History
Decoration
¢Chinese
New Year is a time when families get together to celebrate. It is also a
special time to remember members of the family who have died.
¢In the
days coming up to New Year every family buys presents, decorations, food, new
clothes and people have their hair cut.
¢Houses
are cleaned from top to bottom. The aim
is to sweep out any bad luck from the old year and clear the way for good luck.
However, it is bad luck to clean on New Years Day itself.
¢Families
put lights up outside their homes, rather
like Christmas lights.
¢Doors
and windows are often newly painted in
red.
¢On New
Years Eve both narrow strips of red paper, called Chunlian
or Spring Couplets, and bunches of firecracker decorations are hung on doors to
bring good luck.
