Chinese New Year or 'Spring Festival' is China's most important festival and holiday. The next CNY falls on Friday, February 16th, 2018. It is the year of the dog.
We have a traditional custom is to name the years by one of 12 animals in our zodiac cycle. For example, 2018 is the year of the Dog.
These zodiacs are respective rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig. And this year is the year of the dog.
We will buy red lanterns and couplets to decorate our streets, houses, etc.
In the market, people have already started buying red lanterns and couplets to prepare for Spring Festival.
The old and retirees often walk in the market to spend leisure time.
