Chinese New Years<br />
By Mia<br />
Chinese new years is a day when chinese religions celebrate<br />
the New Year. Chinese New Year is February 8. Most of<br />
the time family members and good friends give each other red<br />
envelopes. Red envelopes is a symbol of good luck. This year<br />
<strong>2016</strong> is the year of the monkeys because many chinese religions<br />
still believe in astrology. In china they say Happy New<br />
Year as “Xinnian ”. The date for Chinese New Year changes<br />
each year. “It always falls between January 21 and February<br />
20, determined by the Chinese lunar calendar.” “<strong>2016</strong> is a year<br />
of the Monkey according to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac<br />
cycle. Other Monkey years include: …1944, 1956, 1968, 1980,<br />
1992, 2004… If you were born then you’re a Monkey. Each Chinese<br />
zodiac year begins on Chinese New Year’s Day.”<br />
