Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon（新月）on
the first day of the new year and ends on the full
moon（满月）15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival（元宵节）, which is celebrated at night with
lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements.
The lunar cycle（月运周期）is about 29.5 days. In order
to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once
every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding
an extra day on leap year （闰年）. This is why,
according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date
each year.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time
of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with
a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and
Earth（万物）, the gods of the household and the
family ancestors.
The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals（仪式）, united the living members with those who had
passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they
were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the
family.
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner
arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors,
together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great
community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It
symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.
The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it
starts from the Begining of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in
coodination with the changes of Nature). Its origin is too old to be traced.
Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian,
which in modern Chinese solely means "year", was originally the name of a
monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a
new year.
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a
great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man
came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, "I hear say that
you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth
instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" So, it did
swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their
domestic animals from time to time.
After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to
be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also
scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old
man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows
and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again,
because red is the color the beast feared the most.
From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on
from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which may mean "Survive the
Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese
having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up
red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to
run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they
are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the
excitement of the celebration.
Traditional New Year Foods
Probably more food is consumed during the New Year celebrations than
any other time of the year. Vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for
family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.
On New Year's Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai.
Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous
vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.
Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance,
and a chicken for prosperity. The chicken must be presented with a head, tail
and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent
long life.
In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao,
sweet steamed glutinous rice（糯米）pudding and zong zi
(glutinous rice wrapped up in reed（芦苇）leaves),
another popular delicacy.
In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou)
and small meat dumplings were the preferred food. The tremendous amount of food
prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the
household.
The 15-Day Celebration of Chinese New Year
The first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the gods of the
heavens and earth."Many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new
year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for
them.
On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the
gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the
second day is the birthday of all dogs.
The
third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their
parents-in-law.
The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the
God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it
will bring both parties bad luck.
On the sixth to the 10th day, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends
freely. They also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health.
The seventh day of the New Year is the day for farmers to display their
produce. These farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate
the occasion. The seventh day is also considered the birthday of human beings.
Noodles are eaten to promote longevity and raw fish for success.
On the eighth day the Fujian people have another family reunion dinner, and
at midnight they pray to Tian Gong, the God of Heaven.
The ninth day is
to make offerings to the Jade Emperor.
The 10th through the 12th are days that friends and relatives should be
invited for dinner. After so much rich food, on the 13th day you should have
simple rice congee and mustard greens (choi sum) to cleanse the system.
The 14th day should be for preparations to celebrate the Lantern
Festival which is to be held on the 15th night.
