Chinese Festival The Chinese Festival is a 15 day celebration which celebrates the coming of Spring. In Chinese Mythology the demon, Nian, terrorizes the people of a village. The townspeople wanted the havoc to stop so people painted their houses red and popped fireworks to keep Nian away. To this day people decorate their houses, eat food, give out red envelopes, and especially pop fireworks.
