Nouvel An Chinois Paris Dance du Lion Pétards Chinese New Year

Le Nouvel an chinois , Nouvel an du calendrier chinois ou nouvel an lunaire (sinogrammes traditionnels : 農曆新年 ; sinogrammes simplifiés : 农历新年 ; hanyu pinyin : nónglì xīnnián) ou « passage de l'année » (traditionnels : 過年 ; simplifiés : 过年 ; pinyin : guònián) est le premier jour du premier mois du calendrier chinois. C'est le début de la fête du printemps (traditionnels : 春節 ; simplifiés : 春节 ; pinyin : chūnjié) qui se déroule sur quinze jours et s'achève avec la fête des lanternes (traditionnels : 元宵節 ; simplifiés : 元宵节 ; pinyin : yuánxiāojié).
Le calendrier chinois étant un calendrier luni-solaire, la date du Nouvel An chinois dans le calendrier grégorien varie d'une année sur l'autre, mais tombe toujours entre le 21 janvier et le 20 février. C'est, comme tous les commencements de mois lunaires chinois, le premier jour d'une nouvelle lune. Par convention, l'alignement astronomique qui signale la nouvelle lune est déterminé à l'observatoire de la Montagne Pourpre à Nankin.

Lion dance (simplified Chinese: 舞狮; traditional Chinese: 舞獅; pinyin: wǔshī) is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture and other Asian countries, in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume. The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other Chinese traditional, cultural and religious festivals. It may also be performed at many other important occasions such as business opening events, special celebrations or wedding ceremonies, or may be used to honour special guests by the Chinese communities.
The Chinese lion dance is often mistakenly referred to as dragon dance. An easy way to tell the difference is that a lion is normally operated by two dancers, while a dragon needs many people. Also, in a lion dance, the performers' faces are only seen occasionally, since they are inside the lion. In a dragon dance, the performers' faces can be easily seen since the dragon is held on poles. Basic Chinese lion dance fundamental movements can be found in most Chinese martial arts.
There are two main forms of the Chinese lion dance, the Northern Lion and the Southern Lion. Both forms are commonly found in China, but around the world especially in South East Asia the Southern Lion predominates as it was spread by the Chinese diaspora communities who are historically mostly of Southern Chinese origin. Versions of the lion dance are also found in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Tibet. Another form of lion dance exists in Indonesian culture, but this is of a different tradition and may be referred to as Singa Barong.

Chinese New Year is an important traditional Chinese holiday celebrated at the turn of the Chinese calendar. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name. Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally run from Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the last month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, making the festival the longest in the Chinese calendar. Because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year".
The source of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Traditionally, the festival was a time to honor deities as well as ancestors.[2] Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations, including Mainland China, Hong Kong,[3] Macau, Taiwan, Singapore,[4] Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius,[5] Philippines,[6][7] and also in Chinatowns elsewhere. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors.
Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. Often, the evening preceding Chinese New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red color paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity." Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes.
Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of the 3rd millennium BC Yellow Emperor. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year beginning AD 2014 the "Chinese Year" 4712, 4711, or 4651.[8]
