Chinese New Year 12th Feb

Published On: February 3rd, 2021156 wordsCategories: General News0.8 min read

The annual celebration begins on the new moon that comes between Jan 21 and Feb 20. The Chinese year will start on Feb 12 2021 and end on Feb 1 2022, when the Year of the Tiger begins.

The new year, also known in China as the Spring Festival, is marked by the lunisolar Chinese calendar; this means the date changes from year to year.

The festivities usually start the day before the new year and continue until the Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the new year.

The Chinese zodiac is divided into 12 blocks (or houses) just like its western counterpart, but with the major difference that each house has a time-length of one year instead of one month.

Each Chinese New Year is characterised by one of 12 animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac

  • Ox: 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973
  • Ox: Loyalty, reliability, thoroughness, strength, reasonability, steadiness, determination.

Why not make a Chinese Lantern to celebrate the New Year.
