Слайд 3What is Chinese New Year?


Слайд 4The Most Important Holiday Chinese New Year is as important to

the Chinese culture as Christmas is to Western culture. Also known as the Spring Festival, it heralds the beginning of spring, representing the new hopes and aspirations of Chinese people.

Слайд 5 All About Family Chinese New Year is

a time for family reunion, which is the key theme of all festival celebrations. It is like a magnet that draws all family members back home to celebrate traditions and welcome the new beginning. It’s all about family!  

Слайд 6When is Chinese New Year?


Слайд 7 Chinese Lunar Calendar Chinese New Year falls on the first day of

the Chinese lunar calendar. The date varies each year according to the regular calendar, but is usually in January or February. In 2015, Chinese New Year is on February 19th.

Слайд 8 Weeklong Holiday Chinese citizens tend to take

a weeklong break to celebrate the festival. Many Chinese people choose to take their holiday the week following the New Year date, however many prefer to travel the week before. Government employees this year will receive February 19-25th off, so many offices in China are closed during this time.

Слайд 9Chinese Zodiacs


Слайд 10The Chinese animal zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao in Chinese, is

a rotating cycle of 12 years, with each year being represented by an animal sign. The 12 zodiac animals in order are: mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig. Chinese people believe that the zodiac sign of a person’s born year may affect his/her personality traits.

Слайд 12The Legend of Nian


Слайд 13The origin of the Chinese New Year Festival can be traced

back thousands of years through a continually evolving series of colorful legends. The most famous one is associated with a ferocious monster called Nian, which sounds the same as the Chinese word for “Year”. Towards the end of a year when there was nothing to eat Nian would run to the villages at night and attack people, causing the villagers to live in terror.

Слайд 14Over time the villagers realized that the ferocious Nian was afraid

of three things: the color scarlet, fire, and noise. So, they put up red decorations and lit firecrackers at midnight to scare Nian away. The monster was scared away and never came back. People repeated the ritual and it has been passed down generation to generation, and thus the custom of Guo Nian (celebrating the new year) was established.

Слайд 15Preparation


Слайд 16 Cleaning One thing that

must be done before the New Year’s Day is house cleaning, which in Chinese culture means to sweep away the bad fortune for the past year and make room for the good luck in the next year.

Слайд 17   Shopping Sprees It is a Chinese tradition to buy new clothes

and new home decorations before the New Year. Chinese people also buy bags of candies and nuts to put at home for their guests. Shopping malls and supermarkets always carry out big sales promotions during the holiday shopping spree.

Слайд 18 Decorations Putting up traditional festival

decorations is the best part of the Chinese New Year. The auspicious red color is everywhere!   Red Lanterns: Red, oval-shape lanterns are hung up both indoors and outdoors during Chinese New Year to symbolize good fortune.

Слайд 21Family Reunion Family reunion is the strongest tradition associated with the holiday.

At the reunion dinner on the New Year’s Eve, Chinese families sit around big, round tables (the round shape signifies reunion in Chinese culture) to enjoy a grand feast featuring pork, fish, vegetables, and of course dumplings. After dinner, Chinese families often sit in front of TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala together.

Слайд 22Fireworks It is a tradition to set off firecrackers and fireworks at

the 12am on Chinese New Year’s Day to drive away the evil in the past year. It is believed that the person who launched the first firework of the New Year will obtain good luck. Today, however, many Chinese cities set time and location restrictions on setting off fireworks.

Слайд 23Red Envelopes On Chinese New Year, it is customary for the elders

to give kids red packets with money in it, known as “Hong Bao” in Chinese, with the purpose of protecting them from being hurt by ghosts and wishing them a peaceful new year. When receiving a monetary red packet, the kid should kneel down or bow down to the elder.

Слайд 24Pay A New Year Visit Chinese people not only celebrate the New

Year with their family members, but also with their neighbors and friends. They usually visit each other’s home to pay a New Year call, which is called “Bai Nian” in Chinese.
