SPRING FESTIVAL, |
Chinesisches Frühlingsfest |
Chinese New Year begins according to the Chinese calendar which consists of both Gregorian and lunar-solar calendar systems. Because the track of the new moon changes from year to year, Chinese
New Year can begin anytime between late January and mid-February. Below is a chart that shows the beginning day of Chinese New Year and the animal sign for that year. The festival begins on the first day of the first month (
Chinese: ¥ý¥Â; pinyin
: Zh¥ng Yuè) in the traditional Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival
which is on the 15th day. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any
ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour Link: |
Das chinesische Neujahr (Chinesisches Frühlingsfest) richtet sich nach dem chinesischen traditionellen Bauernkalender und liegt zwischen dem 20. Januar und dem 21. Februar eines Jahres. Es
beginnt mit dem neuen Mond des ersten Monats des neuen Jahres. Obwohl in China inzwischen offiziell auch der gregorianische Kalender gilt, wird das Neujahrsfest immer noch nach dem Mondkalender und als traditionelles chinesisches
Fest gefeiert. Offiziell gibt es drei freie Tage für die Bevölkerung, die Feierlichkeiten dauern bis zum 15. Tag des neuen Jahres und enden mit dem Laternenfest. |
