- Description
The 2024 Chinese New Year is the Year of the Dragon. Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in China and other Asian countries. It is the time for family reunions and friends to gather to share our joy and count our blessings. During this festive season, people engage in various traditions and customs, such as cleaning their homes to ward off bad luck and setting off fireworks to symbolize a fresh start. The streets are adorned with vibrant red lanterns and decorations, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. Additionally, sumptuous feasts are prepared, with traditional dishes like dumplings and fish symbolizing prosperity and good fortune for the coming year.
Missouri State University Office of China Programs and Department of Languages, Cultures and Religions will host a Chinese New Year Celebration on campus. There will be themed events from our MSU Chinese students, scholars, alumni and friends to showcase Chinese New Year customs and traditions.
