Chinese New Year’s Eve 2022

Chinese New Year 2022 will fall on Tuesday, February 1st, 2022, beginning a year of the Tiger. Chinese New Year’s Eve is the day before the Chinese New Year. It is the most important social and economic holiday in the Chinese calendar. Celebrating Chinese New Year’s Eve has always been a family matter in China, it is the reunion day for every Chinese family. It has evolved over a long period which can be traced back to 3500 years ago.

Before the festivities begin, homes across China undergo a spring-clean to purge the old and welcome in the new. Once the house is clean, red lanterns, couplets, paintings, and cut-outs decorate all areas of Chinese homes in a bid to ward off evil spirits. Friends and families exchange red envelopes with ‘lucky’ amounts of money in them, tasty treats are given as gifts and a fiendish number of fireworks are set off to drive off evil spirits and to signify joy.

No matter where you’re celebrating Chinese New Year, don’t forget to wear red – an auspicious, happy color closely tied to this spectacular festival. Potent Medical hopes you have a happy Chinese New Year’s Eve.
