1 Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is the most important festival for Chinese people all over the world. It is also called the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year.
The exact date of the Spring Festival on the Western calendar changes from year to year. However, Chinese New Year takes place between January 1 and February 19.
On the Chinese calendar every year has an animal's name. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox's back, and then at the end jumped over the ox's head to arrive first!

春 節
對於全世界的華人來說，中國的新年是最重要的節日。人們也稱它為春節或農曆新年。
西曆春節的確切日期每年都在變化。但是春節一般都在 1 月 1 日 到 2 月 19 日 之間。
在農曆中，每年都有一個生肖。這些生肖是鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗和豬。據傳說，這十二個動物舉行了一次賽跑，第一年就以獲勝者鼠命名，其他十一年就根據動物們到達終點的順序命名。聰明的鼠跳在牛背上，在最後時刻跳過牛的頭頂第一個到達終點！
