A Keynote Speaker Celebrating Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year or Spring Festival

The first reason why The Chinese New Year is celebrated is the arrival of the Spring, hence the name Spring Festival. We’ve had the solciste in December, the days are getting longer and the festival celebrates the beginning of a new year, unlike our modern gregorian calendar, it follows the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar.

The dates change every year, depending how on the lunar and solar cycle falls, and this year it will start on Sunday 22nd January. 

Chinese believe in ancient legends and so the second reason for the celebrations is about the story from an ancient battle against the Nian (/nyen/, which sounds the same as ‘year’ in Chinese), a terrifying beast that showed up every Lunar New Year’s Eve to eat people and livestock. To scare away the monster, people displayed red paper, burned bamboo, lit candles, and wore red clothes. These traditions have been continued until the present time.

The New Year celebration is a 14-day festival, and is centred around removing the bad and the old, and welcoming the new and the good. Telling stories, inspiring, empowering people to take the right action at the right time, as an motivational speaker is my responsibility to share with you.
