What is a Chinese New Year?

Chinese New Year is an important traditional
Chinese holiday celebrated at the turn of the
Chinese calendar. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival,
the literal translation of the modern Chinese name.

Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally
run from Chinese New Year's Eve,the last day of the 

last month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival
on the 15th day of the first month, making the festival the

 longest in the Chinese calendar. Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar,
the Chinese New Year is often referred
 to as the "Lunar New Year".
The source of Chinese New Year is itself
centuries old and gains significance
because of several myths and traditions.
Traditionally, the festival was a time
to honor deities as well as ancestors.[2] Chinese New Year is celebrated
in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations,
including Mainland China, Hong Kong,[3] Macau, Taiwan, Singapore,[4] Thailand, Indonesia,
 Malaysia, Mauritius,[5] Philippines,[6][7] and also in Chinatowns elsewhere.
Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and
has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors.
Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the
Chinese new year vary widely. Often, the evening preceding
Chinese New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese
families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.
It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to
 sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck.
 Windows and doors will be decorated with red color paper-cuts and couplets with
popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity." Other activities
include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes.
Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside
China its years are often numbered from the reign of the 3rd millennium
BC Yellow Emperor. But at least three different years numbered 1

 are now used by various scholars,
making the year beginning AD 2014 the "Chinese Year" 4712, 4711, or 4651.[8]

Mooncake Display

Mooncake (simplified Chinese: 月饼; traditional Chinese: 月餅; pinyin: yuè bĭng) is a Chinese bakery
product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (Zhongqiujie).
The festival is for lunar worship and moon watching,
when mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy. Mooncakes are offered between friends or on family
gatherings while celebrating the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four
most important Chinese festivals.

Typical mooncakes are round or rectangular pastries,
measuring about 10 cm in diameter and 4–5 cm thick.
This is the Cantonese mooncake, eaten in Southern China in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau.
A rich thick filling usually made from red bean or lotus seed paste is surrounded by
 a thin (2–3 mm) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs.
Mooncakes are usually
eaten in small wedges accompanied by Chinese tea. Today, it is customary for businessmen and families to present
them to their clients or relatives as presents,
[1] helping to fuel a demand for high-end mooncake styles.
The energy content of a mooncake is approximately 1,000 calories or 4,200 kilojoules
(for a cake measuring 10 cm (3.9 in)), but energy content varies with filling and size.[2]
