Chinese New Year celebrations. It was a time for the Chinese to pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. We encourage schools to allow the children to wear red for our dance session, as traditionally it's believed that the colour will ward off evil spirits. See below, our photographs of the Jim Hung and Hung Kuen, Lion Dance Team performing in Lynn's Vancouver Quarter, Baxters Plain, King's Lynn, Norfolk on Friday 31st January 2014.

When Is The Chinese New Year 2014? A crowd of around 400 this year's event including shoppers who stopped to watch the performance by the Hung Kuen Lion Dance team.

The first day of Chinese New Year 2014 (Chun Jie /2014) will be celebrated on Friday 31st January 2014, and the festival will last for as long as 15 days, till 16th February 2014.

Chinese New Year 2014 is an annual official public holiday for many countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. The Spring Festival 2014 is among the longest public holidays in China, one of the Golden Week.

Some countries refer to the Lunar New Year with their local name, such as Tet Nguyen Dan (Vietnamese New Year) in Vietnam, Korean New Year in South Korea, or Setsubun in Japan. To the Chinese communities, Chinese New Year is the biggest annual event, where families would gather for a reunion dinner and friends would be visiting each other. Markets will be abuzz with activities and many beautiful ornaments weeks prior to the festival.
