Color
I think that the color that best represents Chinese new year is red. This is because it represents good fortune and joy. Moreover, it also symbolizes good luck. Back in the ancient time, red as well as loud noise was used to chase away the creature 年(nian) . Hence I feel that red best symbolizes chinese new year.
Symbol
I think that the best symbol that represents chinese new year is the word 福. This is because this chinese word means good fortune. Moreover, when it is placed upside down, it means that good fortune has arrived (at the house). [福到了!]
Picture
I think that one good picture that represents chinese new year is the lion dance. This is because the lion dance is always performed during Chinese new year and the meaning behind it is to usher in new good luck and fortune into the household. Also, the lion dance wards off bad spirits and is an auspicious thing. It also celebrates the arrival of a new year in the Chinese culture.
