Spring Festival in three minutes
Spring Festival is China's biggest extravaganza and a day for family reunion. Being around family members at the turn of the year is a vital ritual for the Chinese people.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Wednesday inscribed Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional new year, on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

No response - no surprise.
Looks like it must be a fun time for everyone!
It's the favourite time for most.
I was in China one year for the Spring Festival, I loved it and had a lot of fun. In the video it showed a guy paper cutting and that has always fascinated me and I brought a few pieces home with me.
Fun article, Buzz.
Thanks, Kavika. Most who appreciate China's culture and traditions are those who have actually taken part in them, as you and I have, or have at least witnessed them. Spring Festival celebrations are carried out where Chinese people live all over the world.
When I lived LA and SF both had many different Chinese Festivals.
I just finished watching the news here and it showed the Lion Dance being performed in London. Yesterday I saw that the Chinese Ballet Company was performing Swan Lake with Chinese cultural characteristics at the Kennedy Center.
