We’ve talked a lot about the Chinese New Year – more commonly referred to as the Spring Festival<\/strong> (\u6625\u8282 – ch\u016bn ji\u00e9) in Chinese – over the years here. For those who\u00a0are relatively new to the blog, you should go ahead and browse through our Beginner’s Guide to the Spring Festival<\/a>, which has links to past posts detailing the history, traditions, superstitions, and much more. Read through those, and you’ll be an expert on the most important holiday in the Middle Kingdom. While you’re at it, you might as well read about my Very Chinese Chinese New Year<\/a> last year to get a feel for what it’s like celebrating the holiday in a village.<\/p>\n
