Why Is The Chinese New Year Celebrated For A Period Of 15 Days?

 


The Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, is typically celebrated for 15 days. The celebrations begin on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar and end on the 15th day with the Lantern Festival. The exact dates of the Chinese New Year vary each year as it is based on the lunar calendar, but it generally falls between January 21st and February 20th.

In 2023, the first day falls on 22nd January 2023.


The Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is celebrated for 15 days because it is believed to be a time of reunion and celebration with family and friends. The 15 days also symbolize the 15 phases of the moon, with the first day being the new moon and the 15th day being the full moon. Additionally, the 15 days of celebrations also include various customs and traditions such as cleaning the house, decorating with red lanterns and couplets, visiting family and friends, and participating in the Lantern Festival on the 15th day. The 15 days of celebrations also allows enough time for people to travel long distances to be with their loved ones.
