The Chinese New Year is the most important holiday for the Chinese people. For the Chinese, the New
Year comes with the first day of the first lunar month, between January 21 and February 19. People get
ready for the holiday for 15 days. Finally, on New Year's Eve, people close the shops, and the streets are
empty at midnight. Everyone locks the doors and stays at home. It is an important time for the family. The
young people bow (鞠躬) to the old people. The Chinese call this ketou. This means "to touch the ground
with the forehead". Then the young people wish the old people a happy New Year. The old people give
children gifts of money in red envelopes. The family then goes to sleep. In the morning, people are dressed
in their best clothes. Some people stay at home, and others go out to pay a New Year call. They are very
polite and do not use bad words. It's the most important day of the year.
