Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year".. Apart from that,. CNY is a time for family reunions, lion dance,, firecrackers, mahjong, mandarin oranges and giving or collecting ang pow..hmmmm any ang pau for me???
I heard that the celebration of CNY is not all freewheeling fun though, as there are taboos and beliefs, some of which are spiritual in nature, that need to be observed and this normally practices by the olders.. For example no one is allowed to sweep the floor on the first day of the New Year as it is considered unlucky; that one would accidently sweep away one's good luck and fortune if they do so….
