February 5 is the Chinese New Year.

A huge festival is held to celebrate the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese calendar.

The first day of the Chinese New Year begins on the new moon.

This is one of the world’s most prominent and celebrated festivals, and is the cause of the largest annual mass human migration in the world.

Chinese New Year is associated with several myths and customs. The festival was traditionally a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. We wish our Chinese readers a Happy New Year!
