When is Chinese New Year and how long does it last?
The beginning of the New Year in China is associated with the lunar calendar and falls between January 21 and February 21. This is the first winter new moon after a full lunar cycle, counting from the winter solstice. This is one of the main holidays in general in all of East Asia.
How they celebrate
According to legend, on New Year's Eve, a monster emerges from the forest (according to another version, from the sea), which devours livestock, grain, supplies on its way and can even feast on a person. To appease him, the Chinese cook a lot of food and put some of the dishes outside the threshold so that the monster eats and passes by the house. The Chinese also believe that fireworks, red Chinese lanterns and, in general, red color scare away evil spirits. Therefore, the New Year in China is bright and noisy, generously decorated with traditional lanterns.
Before the first day of the New Year, the houses are cleaned, throwing out unnecessary rubbish that has accumulated over the year. The family is gathering for dinner. Usually served dishes of noodles and rice, pigs, ducks, chicken. Be sure to put up a dish with tangerines, as a symbol of prosperity and longevity, fortune cookies. Relatives discuss the failures and achievements of the past year, share plans for the coming year. And after dinner, the Chinese go to visit and give each other money in red envelopes.
Each of the fifteen days has its own traditions. On one day they commemorate dead relatives, on the other they visit friends. on the third day they go to concerts, on the fourth day they go to temples. There is also a day when in families where there are married daughters, a generous table is set for the son-in-law.
Rituals for the fulfillment of desires and well-being
There are many New Year's rituals for attracting money associated with the color red. For example, those who believe in rituals write on a red piece of paper the amount that they would like to earn. Then an image of banknotes is drawn on a piece of paper and a coin is glued. After that, the sheet must be removed to a secluded place, tied with a red and gold ribbon.
There is also a tradition of "108 oranges". Having opened the front door, 108 oranges are rolled into the house through the threshold, distributing them throughout all the rooms (rolling, including into the bathroom and the kitchen). At the same time, you need to say what you want to come into the house. For example, "money in the house", "health in the house." Three days later, the fruits are eaten, distributed to friends, you can make jam.
Chinese new year and oriental horoscope
Since the eastern calendar is tied to the lunar cycle and does not coincide with January 1, it is believed that those born in January and early February, until the next cycle, are subject to the influence of the sign of the previous Chinese year. For example, a person born on January 15, 2019, according to the sign of the Chinese horoscope, will not be a Pig, but a Dog.
