  Why did Chinese creditors pretend it was still New Year's Eve on New Year's Day? What do young men and women expect to get by throwing oranges into the river on the fifteenth night after New Year's Day? And why worship the moon? This book tells all with a humourous look at the beliefs and practices -- and superstitions -- behind major Chinese festivals.
