In Malaysia, the main festival that Chinese culture celebrates is Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival. Chinese New Year is the best festival for Chinese culture, because it is a new year for them and it is a great opportunity for families gathering and enjoys the reunion dinner. Chinese culture will pray to their god during Chinese New Year to hope they get good luck and protected by god. Besides that, most of the people will choose to wear red colour clothes on the first day of Chinese New Year. They believe that the red colour will bring luck to them.

Moreover, there is also a belief behind the festival that why people should decorate their house with red colour and prepare firecrackers every year. According to the mythology, there was a beast came to the village and eat the children and villagers on the first day of Chinese New Year. The beast was named Nian. Then, the villagers believe that if they prepare some food for Nian, then the beast will not continue to eat villagers. So they started an idea which they will prepare some foods for the beast every first day of the year. But one day, a god told villagers that Nian was afraid of red colour and told them to put the red paper and firecrackers on their house. Lastly, Nian was frightened away by the firecrackers during Chinese New year and Nian never came back again. Hence, this is the reasons why people used firecrackers to celebrate Chinese New Year and also believe red colour brings them luck
