Happy Chinese New Year!! 2009 is the Year of Ox
Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. Chinese months are reckoned by the lunar calendar, with each month beginning on the darkest day. This year, the 15-day Chinese New Year begins today, ushering in the Year of the Ox. According to Chinese belief, the Ox is a symbol of wealth and success through hard work and resilience -- a welcome sign considering the entire World's economic difficulties.
Global crisis or not, Chinese retained their enthusiasm for celebrating the Lunar New Year, which officially began Monday. More than 68 tonnes of fireworks debris were collected on the eve of the Spring Festival in Beijing alone. Beijingers also went on a 639 million yuan (about 85.2 million U.S. dollars) shopping spree, spending 13.4 percent more than last year.
