The Chinese New Year is celebrated as a 15-day festival filled with traditions and holidays, including wearing red and enjoying fireworks. According to Britannica, these customs originate from legend: «thousands of years ago, a monster named Nian ('Year') would attack the villagers at the beginning of each new year. The monster was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the color red, so these things were used to scare the beast away. Celebrations are held to bid farewell to the old year and bring luck and prosperity to the new one, often including firecrackers, fireworks, red clothing, and decorations».
The Chinese New Year will begin on January 29, 2025.
