\"\"Happy Chinese New Year. It’s the year of the Rabbit, more specifically, Water Rabbit.<\/p>\n

Chinese New Year started yesterday and the celebration lasts until February 9th, 2024.<\/p>\n

Known as Spring Festival in China, Lunar New Year is the most important time for families to get together, likened by some to Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years combined.<\/p>\n

Every year, hundreds of millions of people who have left their hometowns to build a life in China’s fast growing cities pour into trains, buses and planes to see their family — a weeks-long travel rush known as the largest annual human migration on Earth. In China, people will get 7 days off from work.<\/p>\n

A couple things you’re not supposed to do on Chinese New Year are: no sweeping or taking out the trash, because it’s like sweeping wealth away and dumping out good fortune. And washing your hair supposedly washes away your good luck too.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, some things that are encouraged are: lighting fireworks, wearing red, gifting people cash in red envelopes, and eating dumplings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"January 23rd is the 23rd day of the year.
