first morning of new year

Chinese New Year is basically called as Lunar New Year as well because it is based on the lunar Chinese Calendar. Chinese celebrate new year from Day-1 until Day-15 but wtf, chinese nowadays get bored of chinese new year usually after day-6. Day-15 is what we called Lantern Festival or what we called as Chap Goh Mei locally here in Malaysia. Chinese New Year's Eve which means chu xi in chinese literally means "year-pass eve".

This is what I summarized from Wikipedia.
Day 1 - Meant for visiting the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents, or great grandparents.

Day 2 - Meant for the married daughters to visit their parents.

Day 3 - A good day to visit your relatives and friends

Day 5 - A day when business starts and people start working. wtf. and a day which people start eat dumpling, which is called as 'jiao zi' in chinese

Those days before day 15 im not going to explain cause it seems to be very historical. You probably should go read it yourself.

Day 13 - A funny day where everyone starts to eat vegetables more than usual due to much unhealthy food consumption to those days before.

Day 15 - Chap Goh Mei. Another day for a family to gather around and eat together while having the rice dumplings. I never know about the rice dumpling by the way cause I don't think I had it during Day 15 before.

If you're not chinese or whatsoever and curious on what happen during chinese new year, this is what happen and what we do most of the time during the first day of chinese new year.

Just a little bit sharing if you don't mind.
