Does "guoshi" mean "celebrate the new year"?
Background: I learned Mandarin from people who grew up in Taiwan. My sister is learning Mandarin from someone who grew up in China. Her teacher used the phrase "guo shi" in class the other day.
Issue: One of my family members insists that "guo shi" means "after death" and that "celebrate the new year" is "guo nian." Over the years, I have heard people say "guo shi" in relation to Chinese New Year activities, but most online Chinese-English dictionaries do not list this phrase. (The only translation I have been able to find is "outdated.")
Is there anyone out there who uses "guo shi" in relation to Chinese New Year activities? Please let me know. Thank you in advance for your time.

过世（guòshì）：pass away
果实（guǒshí）：fruits,gains
国事（guóshì）：national affairs
国史（guóshǐ）：national history
过时（guòshí）：out-of-date
过失（guòshī）：mistakes
过事（guòshì）：get married (in northern China dialect)
In Madarin, none of them is related to the new year thing. We usually say "guònián" when it comes to the Chinese lunar new year.

There are many "guo shi" in Chinese, the only one I can think of that may be related to Chinese New Year activities is 国事(guo2 shi4), which means national affairs (usually in terms of politics).But one thing I'm pretty sure is that "guo nian" means to celebrate the new year.
Hope it'll help =))

"guo shi" doesn't mean "celebrate the new year"!!!! never! maybe "guo nian or guo jie"

过世（guòshì）＝"death"
