Chinese New Year symbolizes a new year in the lunar calendar. Thus, it is a festival celebrated by Chinese from all over the world. The most popular color during this festival is red as it is said to bring good luck to everyone. Also, it is an auspicious color and is thus commonly seen everywhere on a traditional occasion like this. A famous symbol for Chinese New Year is definitely the inverted '福', which means that (happiness, good fortune etc) is arriving.

I feel that Chinese New Year is an occasion for our family to catch up with one another's life, especially with those relatives which we do not usually hang out/ meet up with. Also, it is the time to let us start our new year refreshed, leaving all our troubles back in the previous year, starting this new year without any sorrows or worries. Lastly, it is the days for us children/students to receive red packets! :))) Although it serves as a blessing from our elders, we still get very excited because of the money instead of the blessings :P

Chinese New Year is an occasion where people visit and spend time with their family as they may not have enough time to do so on other occasions. People would buy Chinese New Year treats to share with others especially the children. People also give their relatives red packet and wish for them to have a good year ahead. The colour red symbolizes wealth and fortune for the Chinese, hence the red packets also means wealth and fortune. The symbol for Chinese New Year would be the word 福 written upside down. The picture of Chinese New Year would be a family spending time with each other.
