Chinese New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is the night of the last day of the lunar year, the night before the Spring Festival. There is a saying that since New Year’s Eve often falls around the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is also called “Sui Chu”, which means “the beginning of the year, the beginning of the month, and the beginning of the time”. “Sui Chu” also means the end of the year, and it is extended to mean “the sacrifice at the end of the year”. As New Year’s Eve is usually the night before the Spring Festival, after the reunion dinner, families stay up late into the night.
