The Spring Festival is known in the West as Chinese New Year, in China itself the New Year’s Eve is called “Chu-xi”. It is the oldest traditional festival for Chinese people, and great occasions for family reunion, just like the Christmas in the West. It always comes in the 1st day of the lunar month, later than the Gregorian calendar.
Chinese New Year Celebrations includes Pasting Spring Couplets, Character “Fu” or Gods of Door or Wealth, New Year Eve’s Feast, Setting off Fireworks, Giving Lucky Money and here is more info i found, http://www.easytourchina.com/china-specials/the-spring-festival.htm
