Chinese New Year, 新 年 (xin nian) or the Spring Festival 春節 (chun jie) is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It consists of a period of celebrations, starting on New Year's Day, the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar and concludes with the Lantern Festival, on the fifteenth day of the calendar.

According to legend in ancient China, "Nian", a man-eating predatory beast from the mountains, could infiltrate houses silently. The Chinese were always very scared of this monster. They later learned that Nian was sensitive to loud noises and the color red, and so they scared it away with fireworks and the liberal use of the color red. "GuoNian" actually means "Passover the Nian". These customs led to the first New Year celebrations.

The New Year's celebrations lasts for 15 days. The first week is the most important and most often celebrated with visits to friends and family. This is a time to wish each other a blessed new year. Common expressions heard at this time are: "Gong Xi Fa Chai" 恭 喜 發 財 - wishing you prosperity; " Wan Shi Ru Yi" 萬 事 如 意 - May all your wishes come true. However, Chinese believe that on the third day (年 初 三) of the Chinese New Year it is not appropriate to visit family and friends, and call the day "chec hao" (赤口), meaning "easy to get into arguments".
