Dancing dragons and lions, musical performances and delicious street food are just a few of the things you can expect on 22 January, when Chinese communities across the UK welcome in the Chinese New Year. There are some fascinating traditions associated with the celebrations, with more cities than ever offering the opportunity to take part in the fun.
Moon magic
Also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, Chinese New Year is the most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. The date varies as it depends on the moon, but it always falls between 21 January and 20 February.
Carnival of the animals
Each year in the Chinese zodiac is named after one of 12 animals. Sunday 22 January marks the change from the Year of the Tiger to the Year of the Rabbit. The Rabbit is a symbol of peace and prosperity.
Paint the town red
In Chinese culture, red is symbolic of good fortune and prosperity. So it’s no surprise that the colour is everywhere during the New Year celebrations. Streets are strung with red lanterns, people wear red clothes, and children are given red envelopes called ‘lai see’ containing money or chocolate coins.
