2023年春节 – Spring Festival!
The Spring Festival, or 春节 (chūnjié), also know as the Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year, is one of the most important holidays in China. It is traditionally a time when the entire family gathers together to eat, celebrate and welcome the new year. The Festival also marks the change in the zodiac calendar. In 2023 Spring Festival officially falls on the 22nd of January, and begins the Year of the Rabbit.
This year the Chinese Department is hosting a Spring Festival celebration in Miller Hall 121, on Friday January 20th from 4:30 – 6:00pm. There will be lots of delicious food, and performances by students of the department showcasing some of their talents. While there is no dress code and formal attire is not required, you’re encouraged to wear anything red or gold, or traditional attire from your culture. Admittance is free, so come celebrate and get to know your classmates and professors a little better in a fun and relaxing atmosphere.
