Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation in Chinese.
Sunday, February 10 was this year’s Chinese New Year. Ohio University Chinese Students And Scholars Association (CSSA) held a big show in the Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium Sunday afternoon.
The show went from 2pm to 5pm, and after the show, there was a dinner from 5pm to 7pm. The CSSA holds the Spring Festival every year at Ohio University. If you want to learn some Chinese culture or try some Chinese food, see you next year!
