The Lunar New Year began in China at midnight local time (19:00 Moscow time). We add that the holiday is celebrated not only in China, but also in a number of other Asian countries.
According to the Xinhua state agency, this year the largest number of people in the last three years will make trips during the holiday period. This is due to a significant easing of sanitary measures in the country.
We add that in China, the lunar new year is considered the most important holiday of the year. The celebrations last for two weeks. Each new year is named after one of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac. The coming year will pass under the sign of the black water rabbit. In traditional Chinese culture, the rabbit is considered smart and agile, clean and kind, and peaceful and happy.
Note that there are certain signs according to which people are advised not to do certain things on Chinese New Year. For example, it is not recommended: to borrow money and arrange loans; pronounce words such as “poverty”, “disease”, “emptiness” and other negative states that you don’t want to face.
If the dishes are broken, it is advised to wrap them in red paper and throw away the pieces, but this can be done only after the end of the holiday. In the New Year according to the Chinese calendar, it is also believed that various sharp objects are a negative symbol. It is also not recommended to give a watch as a present, it is advised to buy something paired, symbolizing family harmony.
