Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is known as 'Spring Festival'.
This year I caught up with a couple groups celebrating the Chinese New Year in Amsterdam. Normally this kind of celebration takes place on the Chinese New year, February 10, and lasts for 15 days, but because Holland was in a Western country, they celebrated the Chinese way along with the Western calendar (January 2, 2013).
In this video, groups went through the streets of Chinatown in central Amsterdam to celebrate the New Year. The groups made their way to participating shops and played a song and did a dance ceremony with the dragon to ward off evil spirits for the coming year, as well as fireworks!
Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck..

Gong Xi Fa Ca! That’s the traditional Chinese New Year greeting that means “wishing you prosperity” in Mandarin. The first day of the Chinese New Year – February 10, 2013 – is the most important of Chinese holidays, celebrated by over 1.3 billion people in China and by millions of ethnic Chinese around the world. It’s a celebration that lasts for 15 days, culminating with the Lantern Festival. Each year is associated with one of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. For 2013, it’s the Year of the Snake.
There are several variations on the mythology behind Chinese New Year celebrations. Most are based on a ugly bloodthirsty monster named Nian that would emerge on the last night of each year to destroy villages and eat people. A wise elder advised villagers to scare the monster away with loud noises. That night, they set fire to bamboo, lit fireworks, and banged their drums. The monster, afraid of the loud noises and lights, ran away to hide in its cave. In another version of the myth, an old man persuaded Nian to turn its wrath on other monsters, not the villagers. Before he was seen riding away on Nian, the old man, actually a god, advised the people to hang red paper decorations in their homes and set off firecrackers on the last night of the year to keep Nian away. On the first day of the new year, the villagers celebrated, greeting each other with the words 'Guo Nian' which means 'survive the Nian', a tradition that has continued to this day to mean

Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen because it means your family will not starve. This could be taken metaphorically to mean that a Snake could never have a problem with his family starving because he is such a great mediator, making him good at business. Or it could mean that a Snake would be willing to sacrifice his possessions, something the Snake has a lot of, in order to pay for his family's food. Any way it is interpreted is representative of the Snake's character and is a measure of the value he puts on his material wealth. The Snake is keen and cunning, quite intelligent and wise.
The Snake is the intuitive, introspective, refined and collected of the Animal Signs. They are attractive people who take cries with ease and do not become flustered easily. They are graceful people, exciting and dark at the same time.
Chinese New Year marks the start of the lunar year, based on a calendar that follows the cycles of the moon.
This year, the lunar calendar starts on February 10, which is the beginning of the Year of the Snake.
Dong Yilin, a traditional fortune teller from Beijing, believes 2013 will be neither lucky nor bad.
'2013 is the Year of the Snake. For people who were born under this Chinese zodiac sign we cannot predict a very auspicious year or a year of bad fortune,' he said.
'This sign is perceived as a bit neg
