Today is the traditional beginning of Chinese New Year, the “Little New Year”,
we wish you a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year in the year of Rabbit!
Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays.
It is often inaccurately called “Lunar New Year”, because – as part of the lunisolar Chinese calendar – the date is partially determined based on lunar phase.
The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month in the Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day.
Chinese New Year’s Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner.
It literally means “Year-pass Eve”.
Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions.
Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.
February 3, 2011 is the first day of the Chinese new year – Year of the Rabbit.
