Fastener Industry Notes Chinese New Year
The fastener industry is getting ready for the Chinese New Year.
Chinese New Year’s Day is the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year it begins on Monday, February 8th.
Chinese New Year is a public holiday for Chinese, according to ChinaHighlights.com. Usually people have 7 consecutive days off from Chinese New Year’s Eve to the sixth day after Chinese New Year’s Day.
“Officially only the first three days of Chinese New Year (February 8–10, 2016) are statutory holiday. Chinese New Year’s Eve and three more days are always added to give seven consecutive days of holiday.
“These four extra days are taken from weekends: the two weekend days closest to the statutory holiday are included, while the Saturday before (February 6, 2016) and the Sunday after (February 14, 2016) are worked.”
Traditionally the end day of the Spring Festival is the fifteenth day of the first Chinese month, February 22, 2016 — the Lantern Festival. Chinese make all kinds of beautiful lanterns and eat sweet glutinous rice balls in sweet soup.
