Celebrate Chinese New Year

The Chinese celebrate the New Year with the moon cycles, honoring the beginning of the First Moon as the start of the New Year. The Chinese Cultural Center of San Francisco has created this website to share the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations, how the New Year is celebrated in America, and other fascinating facts, such as the lunar calendar and the Chinese zodiac. Find out why oranges are important symbols of wealth, and why the sweeping of the grounds are an important preparation. But most of all, have a happy New Year!
