Chinese Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China and the grandest traditional festival for the Chinese people. The Spring Festival marks the beginning of the Chinese lunar new year and usually falls between January 21st and February 20th on the Gregorian calendar. In 2025, we will celebrate from January 25th to February 6th. If you have any needs, please feel free to leave a message！During the Spring Festival, people engage in various celebratory activities, including family reunions, flower and lantern appreciation, setting off firecrackers, and having a reunion dinner. In this article, we will introduce some traditional customs of the Chinese Spring Festival and the cultural significance behind them.
Spring Couplets：Spring couplets are traditional decorations during the Spring Festival and an important element of Chinese culture. They usually consist of a pair of antithetical phrases with auspicious blessings such as "good fortune," "spring," "reunion," etc. People paste spring couplets before and after the Spring Festival to pray for peace and good fortune in the new year. The pasting of spring couplets on the door lintel is to ward off evil and disasters and also to express good wishes for the new year.
Reunion Dinner on New Year's Eve：The reunion dinner on New Year's Eve is an important traditional custom during the Chinese Spring Festival. Family members gathering for the reunion dinner symbolizes reunion and happiness. The dinner usually includes various traditional dishes such as fish, dumplings, and rice cakes. Eating fish symbolizes surplus every year, eating dumplings symbolizes reunion, and rice cakes symbolize progress step by step. Family members sit together, enjoy delicious food, and spend joyful time together.
Dragon and Lion Dances：Dragon and lion dances are common traditional performances during the Chinese Spring Festival. People hold long dragons and lions and dance to the accompaniment of gongs and drums to drive away evil spirits and pray for good luck. The dragon is considered a guardian god in China, and dragon dances can ward off evil and disasters and pray for a good harvest. The lion is also seen as a symbol of auspiciousness, and lion dances can bring good luck and happiness to people.
Setting Off Firecrackers：Setting off firecrackers is a traditional custom during the Chinese Spring Festival. People set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve and the morning of the first day of the lunar new year to drive away evil spirits and welcome the new year. The loud sound of firecrackers symbolizes driving away all the ominous things and welcoming the good luck of the new year. However, due to the environmental and safety impact of firecrackers, some cities have banned the setting off of firecrackers in recent years and have replaced them with professional fireworks displays.
The Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in Chinese culture and the grandest traditional festival for the Chinese people. The various traditional customs during the Spring Festival reflect the Chinese people's emphasis on family reunions and blessings, as well as their yearning for a better life in the new year. By understanding the traditional customs and cultural significance of the Spring Festival, we can better understand the values and way of life of the Chinese people, and better appreciate the charm of Chinese traditional culture.
