OBS

Le Nouvel An chinois est sans nul doute la fête la plus importante pour les communautés chinoises à travers le monde entier. Il est aussi appelé «lunaire» parce qu'il se célèbre suivant le calendrier lunaire chinois et non le calendrier grégorien. Cette fête est un moment dont on profite en prenant des vacances, en se réunissant en famille et entre amis.
