Hi there! I am Studyfin, your friendly tutor. Today we will explore a happy holiday called Chinese New Year!

Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday in China. People call it the Spring Festival. Families gather to eat good food and wish each other good luck.

Red is a very lucky color in Chinese culture. People hang red decorations and give red envelopes with money inside. The color red represents joy and good fortune.

Lucky Red Envelope

The holiday ends with the grand Lantern Festival. People hang beautiful red lanterns in the streets. The glowing lanterns light up the night sky like warm stars.

✏️ Worked example

Let us think about how we celebrate holidays. Imagine you want to celebrate the Spring Festival. How can we use what we learned to decorate and plan?

  1. First, we choose the color red. This color brings good luck.
  2. Next, we make red paper lanterns to hang up in our room.
  3. Then, we put some coins into bright red envelopes for our friends.
  4. Last, we gather with our family to eat a happy meal together.
