How to Honour the 15 Days of Chinese New Year in 2023

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, is the most important festival in China and a major event in some other East Asian countries. There are many ways to honour Chinese New Year during this annual celebration.

 

This festival celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. It was traditionally a time to honour deities and ancestors, and it has also become a time to feast and visit family members.

 

The Year of the Rabbit

Each Chinese year is associated with an animal sign according to the Chinese zodiac cycle. 2023 is the year of the Rabbit, specifically, Water Rabbit. The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.

 

Here are some ways to honour the 15 days of Chinese New Year:

  1. Make a donation to a local charity or organization that works to support the Chinese community in your area.
  2. Spread awareness of the Chinese culture through online posts, stories, and videos.
