The Chinese use a lunar calendar, based on the changing phases of the Moon. Because of this, Chinese New Year  \nfalls on a different  \ndate each year, but it usually takes place in January or February.  \nGetting ready for the New Year involves cleaning the house, buying new clothes and putting up New Year decorations. New Year’s Eve dinner is the biggest meal of the year, and many of the dishes have a symbolic meaning. For example, the dumplings which are eaten represent wealth, because they are similar in shape to ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots.  \nAs soon as the New Year arrives, firecrackers are set off. Red packets (which are simply red envelopes with money in), are exchanged.
