The Chinese Zodiac is a system that has existed in Chinese culture for thousands of years. It decides what animal will represent each year, and the cycle repeats every 12 years. The Chinese New Year is one of the most important celebrations of the year for East and Southeast Asian cultures. It is celebrated depending on the sighting of the new moon.
Eating is one of many Lunar New Year traditions, which is thought to bring good luck. Kung Hei Fat Choi!
