China Culture Assignment

Chinese Traditions
Chinese Dragons were used for special events like Chinese New Year.
Lion Dancing is a dance usually performed in the Chinese New Year. Some people mistake Lion Dancing by Dragon Dancing, but for Lion dancing you need 2 people, for Dragon Dancing, you will need about 5 people in it.
Chinese New Year Is held on the full moon of 20th of January and the 21st of February.
It is also called the Spring Festival because it is held in the start of spring!

How did Chinese people helped build the Canadian Pacific rail and what happened to them?
Canada needed a railway that would stretch from one side of the country to the other. The Chinese people that worked there get paid 1$ a day. Thats not a lot right now. Plus they had to to do most of the bone-breaking and deadly work. Landslides and dynamite also where put down. I bet you can guess what was next.
What Happened to them?

4)The Chinese believe that clipping nails at night would bring ghosts to that place
