How is Chinese New Year Celebrated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chinese New Year is celebrated as a 15-day festival filled with traditions and festivities, including wearing red and enjoying fireworks displays. According to Britannica<\/a>, these customs originate from a legend: \u201c<\/span>that thousands of years ago a monster named Nian (\u201cYear\u201d) would attack villagers at the beginning of each new year. The monster was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the colour red, so those things were used to chase the beast away. Celebrations to usher out the old year and bring forth the luck and prosperity of the new one, therefore, often include firecrackers, fireworks, and red clothes and decorations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
