As one of the world’s most widely celebrated holidays, the Chinese Lunar New Year is the time for joyous revelry for millions of people both in and out of Asia. Let us peek into their beliefs and traditions.
-> The Year of that Fluffy horned animal with hooves: This New Year shall mark the year of the wood goat (or is it a sheep). Since the Chinese language uses the same word for both goats and sheep any one of them is acceptable according to the Chinese Zodiac.
-> Preparing the home: The Chinese believe that thorough cleaning of the house will ward of evil and bring good luck. The Chinese also adorn their houses with traditional decorations like paper cuts, pictures, banners and knots.
The prosperity toss: As the name says the diners must throw their ingredients into the air with their chopsticks and shout Happy New Year Greetings.
