給中外人士的賀年致詞(中英文) 老幾 Hi,
For those who don't know and are interested in knowing -
According to the Chinese calendar, Sunday February 10th will be the beginning of a Chinese new year, the Year of Snakes! The traditional Spring Festivals start from that day and last for five days.
The Chinese calendar is based on the moon movement with full moon being the middle of each month. A normal Chinese year consists of 354 days in 12 months. The differences with western Gegorian year are accumulated in a precise way so every few years there will be a moving duplicated month - say you may have two Aprils, August, etc. (to be exact 7 duplicated months out of 19 years)
The Chinese New Year is typically in the late of January or early February.
The big advantage of the calendar is its application in agriculture as it provides accurate information to farmers on when they should plant and when they should harvest etc.
Something of a little interesting: there are groups of superstitious people who use the calendar for fortune prediction purpose. Believe or not ,some of the conclusions were quite amazing – don’t count on that ! Don’t say I have not warned youJ.
For those who celebrate like me, Chun Jie Huao!
Cheers! Laoji
大家好! 老幾
