Yes, red envelopes, or 'hongbao,' are a big part of it, filled with money and given to children and unmarried adults as blessings. We also have a lot of traditional foods like dumplings and glutinous rice cake, which symbolize prosperity and togetherness. And a huge tradition is cleaning the house thoroughly before New Year's Day to sweep away bad luck and make way for good fortune.
English
是的，红包是其中很重要的一部分，里面装着钱，送给孩子和未婚的成年人作为祝福。我们也有很多传统食物，比如饺子和年糕，它们象征着繁荣和团聚。还有一个重要的传统是在新年第一天之前彻底打扫房子，以清除厄运，迎接好运。

The official public holiday is usually seven days, but the festive period actually lasts much longer, from the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month, ending with the Lantern Festival. It's a truly extended period of celebration.

Wow, nearly a month! In the US, Thanksgiving is a big one, though much shorter. It's about gratitude and sharing a big meal with family and friends. No red envelopes though, just a lot of turkey and pie!
