georgeous Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Chinese New Year starts on the first day of the new year containing a new moon (some sources include New Year's Eve)[citation needed] and ends on the Lantern Festival fourteen days later. This occurs around the time of the full moon as each lunation is about 29.53 days in duration. In the Gregorian calendar, Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year, a date between January 21 and February 20. This means that the holiday usually falls on the second (very rarely third) new moon after the winter solstice. In traditional Chinese Culture, lichun is a solar term marking the start of spring, which occurs about February 4. thank you Wikipedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Gong Hei Fat Choy to you all as well... An interesting snippet about Icons associated with the New Year: 'The Koi fish is usually seen in paintings. Decorated food depicting the fish can also be found. It symbolizes surplus or having additional savings so as to have more than enough to live throughout the remaining year.' retreived from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year Now, just for a laugh, let's start having guesses as to which chinese zodiac animal Wok is... http://www.rainfall.com/horoscop/chinese.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
