The Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, is the most important Chinese traditional festival, during which people celebrate a year's hard work and pray for next year's harvest.
The Chinese New Year also marks the transition of the zodiac signs. January 21 marks the last day of the Year of the Tiger while January 22 will kick off the Year of the Rabbit.
