Chinese New Year

     In Taiwan, the most important festival is Chinese New Year.But especially on Chinese New Year’s Eve, family get together and have a reunion dinner. Reunion dinner of food must have "fish". Because it means represent having enough to spare. 
     Parents give red envelopes to children. But when children grow up, they have to give it back to their parents.
     However, it is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house, in order to sweep away any ill fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “good fortune”, “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity.” Other activities include lighting firecrackers or watch dragon dance. Chinese people are like red color, it's means ''good luck''.
     If you have chance, please come to Taiwan to experience Chinese New Year. ^^
