The Chinese New Year, celebrated not according to the Gregorian calendar but according to the lunar one, brings the turn of the year not on January 1st but at the end of January or the beginning of February. This shift marks the beginning of auspicious years, each heralding the lunar New Year under a different zodiac sign, from the year of the Rabbit to the year of the Dragon, reflecting the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and its deep-rooted connection to the moon’s cycles.
