The spring festivity is marked as a religious cum ethnic ceremony since the ancient days in which they paid their tribute and gratitude to their ancestors and deities, and prayed for a glorious and flourishing harvest in the coming year.
The current date of celebration was not designated till the revolution of 1911. Spring Festival is marked as a cleansing spree from the evil forces and bad luck by cleaning houses to express joy and wishes to sweep away the bad luck of the previous year and start the new year with positivity.
A pair of couplets plays a novel and unique part in Chinese literature. Both urban and rural households put selective frames of couplets on both sides and on the top of the door to create a festive atmosphere.
The Chinese character fu means good luck and it is deliberately hung upside down in the center of the door which is called (fudao) whereas (duao) signifies the arrival of blessings and good fortune.
Dusting and cleaning are followed by firecrackers and fireworks to get rid of the previous year’s wrath. Last but not least, the Chinese families enjoy a meal together as thanksgiving and reunion of the families where they light the candles and burn them out in the ceremony of honoring deities or ancestors.
People are awake till late midnight to welcome Lunar New Year. Chinese New Year 2022 fell on Tuesday, February 1st, 2022 beginning the Year of the Tiger.
