Tied to the Chinese lunar calendar, the holiday began as a time for feasting and honoring ancestors as well as deities. Lunar New Year celebrations begin on February 1st.<\/p>\n<p>The year 2022 is slated to be the year of the tiger. The tiger is known as the king of all beasts in China and the zodiac is associated with strength and bravery.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese people celebrate Lunar New Year with the traditional greeting, \u201cKung hei fat choi\u201d\u00a0 Sounds like (gung \u2013 hay \u2013 fah \u2013 choy) in Cantonese!<\/p>\n<p>Lunar New Year covers a long span, not just one day. Two weeks is the typical time frame. Traditionally this time is used to celebrate with family and friends. It\u2019s important to start the new year with a clean home. Red envelopes are handed out to others, typically children or young people, containing Lucky Money. Foods are important in the celebration and have meaning. Long noodle dishes, for instance, represent longevity or long life, while dumplings represent wealth.
