Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, starts Feb. 1 and is celebrated in Asian countries including China, Korea and Vietnam, as well as across the diaspora.
Michelle Li, an Asian American news anchor who turned criticism into a movement last month after a viewer called her “very Asian” for eating dumplings on New Year’s Day, broke down Lunar New Year traditions in a video for NBC News’ “Stay Tuned.”

In Vietnam, there’s often a dragon dance celebration to ward off evil spirits.”
