Happy Chinese New Year! ๐งง๐๐ฅฎ๐ฎ
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival (Chลซnjiรฉ), is the most important traditional holiday in Chinese culture. It marks the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar, which tracks both the cycles of the moon and the sun.
Because it follows a lunisolar calendar, the date changes annually on the Gregorian calendar, typically falling between January 21 and February 20.
This year it is celebrated on 17 February 2026.
Key traditions include cleaning homes to sweep away bad luck, decorating with red, feasting on reunion dinners (especially fish), exchanging red envelopes (Hรณngbฤo) with money, and lighting fireworks/firecrackers to scare away evil spirits.
