The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. It falls on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar, usually occurring between late January and mid-February. During the Spring Festival, people often return to their hometowns to reunite with their families and have a big feast. They also participate in various activities, such as setting off fireworks, giving red envelopes, and watching lion and dragon dances. It is a time for people to celebrate and look forward to the new year ahead.
