Lunar New Year is a big holiday<\/strong> in many parts of Asia. People in China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Korea all celebrate it. The date changes every year because it follows the moon calendar. Most years, it falls in late January or early February.<\/p>\n

Before the new year, families clean their houses. They want to sweep away bad luck from the old year. Then they decorate their homes with red paper and bright \u0932\u093e\u0932\u091f\u0947\u0928<\/strong>. Red is a lucky color, and people believe it brings good fortune for the year ahead.<\/p>\n

On New Year’s Eve, families come together for a big dinner. They eat special foods like dumplings, fish, and sweet rice cakes. Each food has a special meaning. For example, fish means good luck and more money in the coming year.<\/p>\n

Children love this holiday because they get red envelopes from older family members. The envelopes have money inside. They also enjoy watching the loud fireworks<\/strong> at night. In some cities, you can see a long dragon parade<\/strong> with music and dancing in the streets.<\/p>\n

The holiday lasts for fifteen days. The last day is called the Lantern Festival. People walk outside with paper lanterns and eat sweet rice balls. Lunar New Year is a time for family, food, and fun. It is one of the most important \u0938\u092e\u093e\u0930\u094b\u0939<\/strong> of the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
