Hi! I am Studyfin, your friendly Chinese tutor. Today, we will explore China's biggest and most exciting holiday!
Chinese New Year is also called the Spring Festival. It celebrates the start of a new year on the traditional calendar. Families gather to eat delicious food and wish each other good luck.

The color red is very important during this festival. People hang red paper lanterns outside their homes. Red is a lucky color that brings happiness and scares away bad luck.
The Dragon Dance is a famous tradition. Dancers hold up a long, colorful dragon on poles. They make the dragon twist and dance through the streets to bring good fortune.
Imagine you are celebrating the Spring Festival with your family. How would you decorate your front door to welcome good luck, and why?
- First, recall the most lucky color in Chinese culture. That color is red!
- Next, think of items used for decorations. Red paper lanterns are perfect to hang up.
- Then, write kind wishes on red paper. You can paste these scrolls on the sides of your door.
- Finally, explain your choices. You used red and lanterns to bring happiness and start the new year with good luck!
