A day for sweethearts to express their feeling toward one another with cards, chocolate, flowers, gifts or a simple “I love you”.
Lantern Festival: On the first full moon of the New Year, which occurs around 10 days after Chinese New Year day, the Lantern Festival is celebrated. This festival dates to the Han dynasty, when lanterns were used symbolically to promote Buddhist teachings. Celebrations today include the display of lanterns of all sorts, and also include fireworks displays, folk dancing and stilt-walking demonstrations. A special treat that’s offered during the festival is a sweet dumpling, which symbolises the reuniting of family and friends.
Qing Ming Festival: Celebrated annually in April, the festival is held to honour ancestors. Chinese visit the graves of their loved ones, to clean the area and pay respect. Ancestors are held in great respect, and young family members join in this grave-cleaning ritual. This is also a time that branches of the willow tree are hung in doorways in the hopes of warding off evil spirits.
