    What It Is

    The turning of the Chinese zodiac. Red envelopes, reunions, firecrackers to frighten off Nian, and the sweeping out of last year's dust and grievances.

    How to Observe It

    Sweep your space before sundown. Wear something red. Speak only auspicious words for the day — words shape the year.
