Chinese New Year at a glance by Mike L.
Chinese New Year is a time of celebration, joy, and delicious food. Every year families gather to celebrate the beginning of the new lunar year and to enjoy the traditional foods associated with this holiday.
Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival, and it is celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year the Chinese New Year falls on January 22nd 2023.
This holiday is celebrated for 15 days, and each day has its own special traditions and activities. One of the most popular activities during Chinese New Year is the celebration of the Chinese zodiac. Each year is associated with one of 12 animals and this year is the Year of the Rabbit. People born in the Year of the Rabbit usually have soft and tender personality traits. They keep a modest attitude and maintain a pleasant relationship to people around them. They will not get irritated easily, and they also avoid quarrels as much as possible. The Chinese zodiac is also associated with a story about a race between all of the animals involved. The rabbit came fourth. (More on this in Toby’s article.)
