Chinese Lunar New year: Most important festival for all Chinese

File photo taken on Feb. 8, 2017 shows villagers performing Shehuo in Wudu District of Longnan, northwest China's Gansu Province. The performance of Shehuo can be traced back to ancient rituals to worship the earth, which they believe could bring good harvests and fortunes in return. In Chinese villages, people have their distinctive ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. Simple but joyful, the celebrations bring them gratification and happiness. Spring festival, or better known as Chinese Lunar New year, is the most important festival for all Chinese, which has a history of more than 4,000 years. It is an occasion for home returning, New Year goods preparing, celebrating, and foremost, family reunion. (Xinhua/Cai Yang)
