Last Thursday i.e. 7th of this month was the begining of a Chinese year.

According to Chinese calender this year is the year of Rat and 4706 th year.

Chinese yaers are named by the name of twelve animals; Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.


It is said that Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on a Chinese New Year. Twelve of them came, and Buddha named a year after each one.
