Festivals of the World
Chinese New Year
On the first day of the First Moon of the lunar calendar, the most important celebration in China begins. Homes are decorated with paper banners adorned with happy wishes, pretty flowers, and platters of oranges and tangerines; family is gathered. At midnight on Chinese New Year’s Eve, fireworks fire and the festival begins! One of the most wondrous spectacles of the festival is the dragon dance. Many people carry long silk dragons, dancing in procession as musicians play gongs and drums. Finally, on the last and 15th day, the wonderful celebrations end with the lantern festival. Children carry lanterns down the streets twinkling with lights. A happy celebrant is dressed in a silky red gown decorated with yellow flowers and a phoenix, symbol of happiness and joy. Flowers and butterflies, symbols of long life and beauty, are in her upswept hair. She is very happy to receive the gift of a red Lai-See Envelope! Designed by Katia Jimenez, Chinese New Year Barbie doll reflects the splendor of a beloved holiday!
