And people celebrate over several days or even weeks. It is called the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea. What are some traditions around the Lunar New Year? One well-known ancient story speaks of Nian, a terrible monster that eats human flesh on New Year's Day. But Nian fears the colour red, loud noises and fire. So, Lunar New Year activities include putting up red paper dragons on the doors of homes. People also burn red lanterns all night and set off firecrackers to chase away the monster. Red is considered a lucky colour to ring in a new year. People wear red clothing, decorate their homes with red paper lanterns and use red envelopes to present loved ones with gifts of money. Ancestor worship is also common during this time. Many Korean families take part in a ceremony called “charye”. Female family members prepare food and male members serve it to ancestors. The final act involves the entire family sharing a meal and asking for help from their ancestors. Vietnamese culture holds a similar tradition. How do diaspora (大移居) communities celebrate? Members of Asian American communities around the US also organize parades, parties and other events around the Lunar New Year. Lion and dragon dances are common, as are fireworks, traditional food and cultural performances. What are some special foods for the New Year? Each culture has its own special foods for New Year celebration. In Chinese culture, for example, “changshou mian” or “long-life noodles” are eaten with a wish for a long, healthy and happy life. Koreans celebrate with “tteokguk”, a soup that contains thinly sliced rice cakes. And Vietnamese culture has “banh chung”, a traditional dish made from rice, mung bean and pork belly.
