Holiday traditions

They also prayed to their ancestors, honoring them almost like gods. It is believed that fireworks scare away monsters and misfortunes, so they are launched on the eve of the Chinese New Year. In the morning, the Celestial Empire remembers them again to welcome the new year and good luck, and then visit relatives, close friends, neighbors. The Chinese also hang red lanterns and garlands everywhere, stick red paper on doors and windows, and make origami out of it.
