Chinese New Year 4706 : Discover Columbus

Discover Columbus

Feb. 1, 2008 - Chinese New Year 4706

This is the Year of the Rat in the Chinese calendar. February 7, is the beginning of the Chinese New Year. I think it's appropriate to celebrate the Chinese New Year for the first couple of weeks of February.

InfoPlease.com says of the Chinese calendar:

"According to legend, a god asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. When 12 came, he named a year after each animal, declaring that people born in that year would have some of that animal's personality."

Here's a quiz about the Chinese New Year on InfoPlease.com
