China is a country in Asia. The New Year in here is special. It starts in January or February and length about 15 days.

The origin of the festival can be traced thousand years ago, of a series of colorful legends, but the better known was “THE NIEN”. It was on extremely cruel and furious beast. In order to maintain the Nien away signs in red paper in the doors are stuck, it was illuminated with torches and firedrakes.

In personal celebrations married girls come to her home with her parents, the just married girls come with her husband and give presents to the family.

The like it because, they share with their family and friends, and visits too.

The people use figures of their gods on the doors to maintain the ghosts and monsters far. The people spend money to buy clothes, food and gifts. The new clothes are red, and give red envelopes with money inside. The people before the celebration begin to clean their houses to get rid of all the bad luck.
