The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the most distinctive Chinese traditional festival.  The origin of Chinese New Year has a variety of claims, but the generally accepted theory is that the Chinese New Year developed in the period of Yao and Shun. 

Chinese New Year is generally the first day of the first lunar month of the year. In the private sector, the Chinese New Year in the traditional sense is lasts from the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with New Year's Eve and the first day for the climax. During the Spring Festival, China's Han and minority ethnic groups will hold various activities to celebrate.
