Kapa ʻia ka lā hoʻomaha i kekahi manawa ʻo ka Lunar New Year no ka mea ʻo nā lā hoʻolauleʻa e hahai i nā pae o ka mahina. Mai ka waena o 1990s ua hāʻawi ʻia nā poʻe ma Kina i ʻehiku mau lā hoʻomaha i ka hana i ka makahiki hou o Kina. Ua koho ʻia kēia pule hoʻomaha i ka Spring Festival, kahi huaʻōlelo i hoʻohana ʻia i kekahi manawa e pili ana i ka Makahiki Hou Kina ma ka laulā.

Ma waena o nā kuʻuna Makahiki Hou ʻē aʻe o Kina, ʻo ia ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono ʻana i kona home e hoʻokuʻu aku ai i ka poʻe kamaʻāina mai nā pōʻino. Hoʻomākaukau a hauʻoli kekahi poʻe i nā meaʻai kūikawā i kekahi mau lā i ka wā hoʻolauleʻa. ʻO ka hanana hope loa i mālama ʻia i ka makahiki hou o Kina, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ka Lantern Festival, kahi e kau ai nā kānaka i nā kukui ʻālohilohi i loko o nā luakini a lawe ʻia paha i ka wā pō. ʻOiai ʻo ka deragona he hōʻailona Kina no ka pōmaikaʻi, ua hōʻike ka hula dragon i nā hoʻolauleʻa ʻahaʻaina ma nā wahi he nui. ʻO kēia huakaʻi he deragona lōʻihi a waihoʻoluʻu e lawe ʻia ana ma nā alanui e nā mea hula he nui.

ʻO 2021 ka makahiki o ka bipi, ʻo ka bipi ka hōʻailona o ka ikaika a me ka momona.

Aloha kau a me nā manaʻo maikaʻi loa no ka Makahiki Hou!

Nānā:ko makou huie hoʻomaha iki no nā lā hoʻomaha Makahiki Hou mai 2.3 a i 2.18.2021.
