SAEDNEWS: In Puyang, located in southeastern China, the Lunar New Year was celebrated with spectacular fireworks lighting up the city’s sky. Each year, this festival marks the start of the lunar calendar, and residents welcomed the new year with dazzling displays and traditional ceremonies.
According to Saed News Society Service, Chinese New Year is one of the most important traditional holidays in China. The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar system, meaning that the movements of the sun, moon, and stars determine the days, months, and years. Each year, in the month of Bahman (January–February), the Chinese calendar marks the beginning of a new year.
The New Year begins with the appearance of the first new moon of the year, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the Lunar New Year. The celebration typically lasts fifteen days and concludes with the Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year is widely celebrated in countries where Chinese communities are either the majority or a significant minority, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Brunei, North and South Korea, Mongolia, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
