Chinese New Year When you think of New Year what do you think of staying up late, having a party, or watching the ball drop? Both the U.S. and china view New Year completely different. This paper will be telling about the differences between the two countries. The Chinese New Year is the holiday that celebrates the New Year. The New Year celebration accords to the lunar calendar. This holiday is celebrated with family gatherings, gift giving, and eating their symbolic foods. Each Chinese New Year is usually 15 days long. The longest the celebration went on was a month. Each year has an animal for example this years animal is the rabbit or the hare. Chinese New Year is when everybody takes a week off of work and celebrates the New Year with tons of cool performances. Like acrobats and much much more. For the U.S. New Year is only one day. You would just stay up till mid night to see the ball drop. You may even have a party. We don’t have any symbolic food but depending on the weather you could have a cook out and have hamburgers or brats. Some similarities are that you have a party. You stay up late and party with tour family. There is usually a parade some where in your town. Some differences are that Chinese New year is usually 15 days long and for us it’s a day. In China they have special food and traditions but we don’t because its not that big to us. So as you can see Chinese New Year is way more important to them than us. So Chinese look at are New Year as a wired or different holiday for them. I think I might be cool to go and spend the next New Year in China.
