Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese holidays. It is often called the Lunar New Year, especially by people in mainland China and Taiwan. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".
Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans, Mongolians, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Vietnamese, and formerly the Japanese before 1873. In Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries or regions with significant Han Chinese populations, Chinese New Year is also celebrated, and has, to varying degrees, become part of the traditional culture of these countries. In Canada, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Canada Post issues New Year's themed stamps in domestic and international rates.
Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi outside China. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.[2]
oh well.. read more on the site. i refuse to spam my own blog post with some stuff i want to write about that you can read online. (how contradictory,but i say whatever to my conflicting words.)
all i can say is that CNY is celebrated about the same way by Chinese all over the world. its really great to see that at least *some* of the Chinese tradition is left in all Chinese (at least those whom i know)
recently,i haven't been reading manga or watching anime due to my work and all... and i've been debating whether i should watch KHR -future- when i havent read the manga that far.
and i was thinking if i should read new manga and watch new (to me at least) anime when i still had a long waiting list. and since i havent been going on for about 2 weeks, i have 3 episodes of Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae, 2 episodes of Kuroshitsuji, and KHR just uploaded 2 episodes~ rarr....
i stayed awake for 24 hours straight! haha,that just feels like an achievement to me.
went to yijun's house and watched lots of Lollipop videos... i loved the NG part and the Sports Meet parts... and 敖犬 is damn cute!!! hahahaha~
i shall stop crapping for now.. got more CNY stuffs to do (though i've practically been slacking the whole day... i got home at 9am today and slept till 2pm... i still dont get my body's clock,which allows me to rest for about 5hours per time.)
Ciao~
