From New Year scrolls to fireworks, fromjiaozito the family reunion dinner, many traditions and customs constitute the 4,000-year-old festival Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival. As the most important traditional festival in the country, the Chinese New Year gives the best description of the psyche, heritage, aesthetics and culture of the Chinese people.
In 2001, the Ministry of Culture of the PRC launched efforts to build the brand for the Chinese New Year with the purpose of sharing Chinese culture globally. The overseas activity was officially named Happy Chinese New Year in 2009, propelling the growing global impact of the Chinese festival. Focused on "Happiness", "Harmony", "Dialogue" and "Sharing", the Happy Chinese New Year program hosts the core values of "Festival of Nature", "Festival of Family", "Festival of Soul", and "Festival of the World", all of which are dedicated to sharing the achievements of Chinese culture.
In 2016, more than 2,100 events were staged in 400 cities in 140 countries and regions, reaching out to 250 million audiences across the globe. These events varied in forms, such as temple fairs, global Chinese New Year galas, lantern shows, street parades, performances, variety shows, cultural and trade exhibitions, intangible cultural heritage shows, TV programs and film presentations, book fairs, fireworks shows, as well as seminars.
