Western New Year Vs Chinese Lunar New Year：the comparison mainly focuses on different time to celebrate the new year, various activities and respective meanings.
1.The biggest difference must be the time of celebration. Western people have a fixed date to celebrate western new year, which is the first day of January on the Gregorian calendar each year. However, Chinese people celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year on different date every year, usually around late January or early February.
2.Meaning of a new year is quite simple for western people, a new start for a year. But for Chinese people, they have lots of expectations for the new year, no matter for a good fortune, health or wealth. As a result, there are plenty of taboos for Chinese New Year.
3.Activities：For western people, what they do to celebrate western new year is almost like Christmas. The most important thing for them is to go home and stay with their families, enjoy a big meal or have a party with friends and relatives. The counting down activity is quite common to see in western countries. People will gather together at some parks or squares and wait for the important moment to count down for the new year. In China, just like the western new year, the biggest thing is family reunion. So, there will always be a big meal on New Year’s Eve. After the reunion dinner, Chinese people will watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV with families and start to send messages to friends with the best wishes for the new year.Usually the elders will give the Hongbao to children after the meal. Nowadays, more people prefer to send red envelopes on WeChat, grabbing red envelopes online has been a popular activity for the Spring Festival.When it’s about 12 am, all the people will begin to set off fireworks and firecrackers.
