Cultural introduction
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important traditional celebration in Chinese culture. It marks the beginning of a new year according to the lunar calendar and is a time for family reunions, honoring ancestors, and welcoming good fortune. Across Asia, communities celebrate with festive foods, decorations, cultural activities, and joyful gatherings.
2026 is the Year of the Horse, a symbol of strength, energy, speed, and perseverance. In Chinese culture, the horse represents ambition, intelligence, and vitality, and people born under this zodiac sign are believed to be energetic, independent, and adventurous. The Year of the Horse is seen as a time for new opportunities, forward movement, and personal growth, making it the perfect moment to embrace creativity, courage, and fresh beginnings.
Traditional customs during Lunar New Year โ such as decorating homes, giving red envelopes, sharing festive meals, and enjoying cultural performances โ are meant to bring luck, happiness, and prosperity for the year ahead. Participating in these celebrations allows us to connect with heritage, experience cultural rituals, and share joy with friends and community.
