Happy Chinese New Years

Happy Chinese New Year! And what important year it will be. It’s that time of year in the Chinese culture where celebrations take place. This year, the Chinese New Year is on Friday, February 16, 2018.

As reported on When-Is, “according to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle, the Chinese year beginning in 2018 is the year of the Dog. Each Chinese zodiac year begins on Chinese New Year’s Day.”

If you want to learn more about the Chinese New Year and the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, check out the China Highlights website. You will find information about your zodiac sign of your birth year, as well as the traditional Chinese superstitions.

“Chinese New Year, also known as the “Spring Festival” in modern Mainland China, is China’s most important traditional festival, celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar, which consists of both Gregorian and lunar-solar calendar systems. Chinese New Year can begin anytime between late January and mid-February.

“China’s Spring Festival public holiday starts on the Chinese New Year, and lasts for 7 days.”
