The Chinese New Year is a special holiday and it is almost celebrated in the entire Asia as well as other parts of the world. It is the most important holiday in Chinese culture. On January first on the lunar calendar, adults will give red envelops to children, and children will put them under the pillow and wish to get good luck in the next year. People will put on spring couplets, which are short verses written on two pieces of red paper, to wish for good luck or well-being in the new year. People or things will be in red because red is considered lucky color. People will put on fireworks or firecrackers because they believe that God will hear the noise we make, and therefore God will come and wish you a Happy New Year!
