Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, has a rich tapestry of customs that have evolved over time. Traditionally, families would clean their homes to sweep away bad luck, decorate with red lanterns and banners, and hold family reunions over a lavish feast, emphasizing dishes that symbolize prosperity. Present-day celebrations still include these customs, but they have also integrated modern practices like public fireworks displays and large parades, while maintaining a focus on family and community. Additionally, the use of digital red envelopes (hongbao) for gifting money has gained popularity in recent years.
