Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Lunar New Year: 11 things to know
Still in New Year holidays? Though China’s Lunar
New Year / Spring Festival holiday was supposed to end on January 24, it was extended
at least to today nationwide and even longer in some major cities like Shanghai
in an effort to contain the fast-spreading, deadly, novel coronavirus outbreak.
Public movement, large gatherings, festival events, and businesses are all
restricted. Only the shops that sell daily necessities are open but with
limited supply.
A novel coronavirus outbreak and traditional
spring holidays are taking place in China at the same time. Neither of which is
well known outside China, save the fact that both affect many people and all
kinds of activities. But at least, you can learn more about the most important
holiday and its activities in China. During the holidays, they move to reunite
with their family members, relatives and friends and do special things and don’t
do certain things that are considered bad luck. They also wear red clothes,
make large noises, and watch special movies and dramas. Everyone adds another
age as it is the beginning of the new year.
Sounds interesting?
Enjoy reading the article and learn what
Chinese do during the Spring Festival holiday season.
