Happy Chinese New Year to all our Chinese members.
Here some information from
WIKIPEDIA:
Chinese New Year, known in Chinese as the
Spring Festival (
Simplified Chinese: 春节;
Traditional Chinese: 春節;
pinyin: Chūnjié) or the
Lunar New Year (
Simplified Chinese: 农历新年;
Traditional Chinese: 農曆新年;
pinyin: Nónglì xīnnián), is the most important of the
traditional Chinese holidays. The Chinese New Year festival begins on the first day of the first lunar month (
Chinese: 正月;
pinyin: zhēng yuè) of the
Chinese calendar, and ends on the
Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the month.
Chinese New Year's Eve is known as
Chúxì (除夕).
Chu literally means "change" and
xi means "night".
