The reunion dinners on Lunar New Year's Eve, firecrackers, couplets, and temple fairs are still the necessary ways to celebrate Spring Festival.

New Year's Eve or Spring Festival Eve is celebrated as a time of family reunions. Children who work or study outside their hometown, return home to celebrate the festival with their family.

People visit friends and relatives' homes to give their New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year. They use auspicious words to pray for good luck in the New Year.

The 15th day of the New Year marks China’s traditional Lantern Festival. Hanging lanterns and guessing lantern riddles are the traditions of the day.

Typical food on that day for northerners is Yuanxiao, a ball-shaped dessert made with glutinous rice. Southerners eat Tangyuan, a similar meal made with different techniques.

Best wishes to everyone for your happiness and health in the New Year!
