Dear members,

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese community. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions.

According to tales and legends, the beginning of C...hinese New Year started with a fight against a mythical beast. The beast would come on the first day of New Year to eat livestock, crops, and even villagers, especially children. To protect themselves, the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year. It was believed that after the beast ate the food, it wouldn’t attack any more. It was also believed that the beast was afraid of the colour red and fire crackers. Hence, every time when the New Year was about to come, the villagers would hang red lanterns and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. They would also used firecrackers to frighten away the beast.

The year of 2012, according to the Chinese zodiac is the Year of the Water Dragon, the Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 Animal signs. The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. In ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents the Emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and happiness.
