Chinese New Year was celebrated on (February 12) and people bid farewell to The Year of the Rat and welcomed The Year of the Ox. The new year ushers in the second animal on the zodiac with the second new moon after the winter solstice.
The Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival lasts for 16 days, starting from Chinese New Year’s eve to the Lantern Festival. The dates change every year because the festival is based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The festival is also celebrated across several countries and other territories in Asia, including South Korea and Singapore.
The lunar calendar is also associated with 12 animal signs in the Chinese zodiac, so every 12 years is regarded as a cycle. 2021 is a Year of the Ox, while 2022 will be a Year of the Tiger. The other animals are rat, dragon, snake, horse, rabbit, sheep, rooster, monkey, dog, and pig.
