Chinese New Year day 5

This Chinese character means Spring, but pasted upside down, which indicates that spring has arrived!
This character reads "fu", which means blessings and also upside down.



 
Doors are decorated in red with words and couplets for the New Year!
And a must during the Chinese New Year celebrations,,,,,

Firecrackers!  much, so much of them even in the middle of the night!

During the Chinese New Year, red is very important: people wear red clothes, write poems and couplets on red papers, give children "lucky money" in red envelopes.

Red means fire-- it burns off bad luck!

Firecrackers can drive out the evil spirits!

That's how the Chinese spend the Chinese New Year!
