The inhabitants of the Celestial Empire observe many traditions in order to properly celebrate the New Year, to bring prosperity into their lives.

That is why a few days before the holiday they decorate houses in red, as it is considered the main protection from adversity. Before the New Year, the Chinese are sure to clean their houses in order to attract happiness to the house, and they arrange a festive dinner with their family.
