The Lunar New Year and Year of the Snake
Wednesday, January 29, 2025, marks the arrival of the Year of the Snake. It's also the beginning of the Lunar New Year, which starts sometime between late January and mid-February.
These events are among the most important in Asian culture, celebrated in China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and other parts of Asia.
In China, the Lunar New Year (農曆新年), also known as the Spring Festival (春節), or simply Chinese New Year, ranks highest in importance among its celebrations.
At the core, the Lunar New Year celebration brings families together. A week before the event, preparations begin by "spring cleaning" the home and then decorating.
Shopping is also a big part of gathering gifts and provisions (gift money), which often includes cash-filled red envelopes. These are often given by elders to younger members of the family. The color red symbolizes good fortune and prosperity.
Next comes food preparation for the main event, which is a feast for family and friends on New Year's Eve.
A variety of dishes are made to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Food choices typically reflect family customs as well as local culinary traditions.
Some of the most common dishes are spring rolls, dumplings, cakes, as well as fish and pork dishes.
Many dishes hold symbolic meanings. For example, dumplings are made in the shape of old ingots to invoke good fortune.
Alcohol is also a main feature, consisting of traditional winds or liquor.
Another part of the celebrations is lighting firecrackers as a way to mark the new year and ward off monsters. According to legend, there is a monster called Nian that was believed to cause great harm to some villages. The villagers set off explosions to scare away the monster. The practice caught on and became a tradition. However, in more recent times, the government has started cracking down on this practice, citing its danger and pollution.
