Daily Activities
Chinese New Year is a 15-day celebration, steeped in traditions and customs. Every day presents unique activities, from honoring gods and deities to visiting relatives and sharing meals with family and friends. Here's a glimpse into what takes place during the festivities:
First Day
The first day is dedicated to paying respect to deities and ancestors, making new year calls, eating auspicious foods, and welcoming guests with tea and sweets. Traditional dishes include dumplings, rice cakes, and nian gao (年糕). Married women visit their birth parents, while businesses reopen and prayers are held.
Second and Third Days
People may travel outside of China for a short break, particularly to countries in Southeast Asia.
Fourth Day
In some places, families make bean curd to demonstrate their thriftiness.
Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Days
These days are marked by activities like butchering pigs or buying meat, cleaning houses, and making steamed bread.
Eighth Day
On this day, people worship their ancestors at their tombs.
Ninth Day (New Year's Eve)
This day involves pasting Spring Festival couplets, Gods of Gates, and New Year pictures, having a family reunion dinner, Chinese New Year TV gala, and staying up all night on its eve. The dumpling is an important dish during the dinner.
Writing Chinese Characters
Writing Chinese characters, also known as calligraphy, holds great importance in Chinese culture. It is often considered an art form that requires patience, precision, and skill. During Chinese New Year celebrations, some may engage in writing "Spring Festival couplets" or other traditional texts using brushes and ink.
Learning Languages
The Chinese language consists of multiple dialects, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, and Hakka, among others. As part of cultural preservation efforts, many communities strive to maintain these languages and pass them down to future generations. Some people may use this time to learn more about their heritage and practice speaking their native tongue.
Time Expressions
Chinese New Year follows the lunar calendar, which means the date changes each year according to the lunar phase. This unique timing adds to the significance of the event and reinforces its connection with nature and the cycles of life.
Days of the Week
In China, unlike Western countries, there isn't a widespread concept of days of the week. Instead, dates are referred to based on the lunisolar calendar, where the cycle of the moon determines the month and the solar cycle influences the seasonal attributes of the months.
