Feb 5 is Chinese New Year's Day according to the lunar calendar. Most events will take place from late January to the end of February.
According to Luo Shugang, minister of culture and tourism, exhibitions, art performances, parades, New Year's fairs, forums and folk art classes-along with many more genres-are to be included in the framework.
"Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people," Luo said. "It is also the best reflection of traditional Chinese aesthetics. We want to share such happiness and expectations for the future with people from other countries. Chinese ideas and values can thus be better understood."
