KUNG HEI FAT CHOI


KUNG HEI FAT CHOI means "congratulations and be prosperous" this is how we greet people during Chinese New Year.

Unlike our usual cale endar ( known as Gregorian calendar ) the Chinese year on the lunar year, falls on different dates, depending on the moons cycle. The year is identified by the animal believed to be the guardian for that year, and this year is the Ox turn.

The legend has it that the Buddha (or the Jade Emperor) once called all the animals to celebrate the coming of the New Year with him. Only 12 animals arrived, and as a reward he named the year after the animals present in the order that they arrived.

Be aware, there are 12 animals, and they go around as a cycle : rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig.
