Here’s what our friends at the Smithsonian have to say:
“Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. It is the most important holiday in China, and it is also widely celebrated in South Korea, Vietnam, and countries with a significant overseas Chinese population. While the official dates encompassing the holiday vary by culture, many who celebrate the holiday consider it the time of the year to reunite with loved ones.
