Chinese New Year is an important Chinese festival
celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar
Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Spring
Festival. The New Year festival is centuries old and
gains significance because of several myths and traditions.
Traditionally, the festival is a time to honor
deities as well
as ancestors.

Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the
Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year
celebrations of its geographic neighbors.  It is also
traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house,
in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for
good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated
with red color
paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes
of
"good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity".
Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money
in
red paper envelopes.
