The Year of Rabbit

Happy Chinese New Year to the Chinese community and a happy holiday all other! Since it is the first day of CNY, I will be sharing an interesting fact about CNY!

This year, the first day of the Chinese New Year falls on January 22. The event celebrating the arrival of spring, also known as the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year, is celebrated in China, East Asia, and around the world.

The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, is a celebration marking the beginning of the first lunar cycle of the year. This year, it will be observed on January 22.

During this occasion, families customarily share sumptuous meals together, and youngsters are frequently given money in red envelopes known as "hong bao."

The start of the Lunar Year also marks the beginning of the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, which is symbolised by an animal for each year. It is the year of the rabbit in 2023.
