On Friday, January 31st, 2014, more than a billion people of Chinese origin will usher in the first day of the year 4712. Known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, it marks the beginning of the longest and most significant of all Chinese festivals. As the name indicates, the four-thousand-year-old tradition whose date is determined by the lunar calendar, began as a way to mark the end of the dreary winter season and the beginning of spring.

        The year of the horse is a 15 day celebration that signifies a fresh start in life for 2014. It is celebrated in many ways by the Chinese. The people born under this animal sign are energetic, cheerful, popular, talented and like to entertain. Also, the color red is very important because they believe it wards off bad luck. They use this color a lot in the parades. Can children participate in the parades?

              Wow! That explains so much! I was born on the year of the horse, and they are my favorite animals! Even since I was a baby! I LOVE THEN SO MUCH *-* THEY SO CUTE <3 I beg my daddy for one almost every day, and he finally decided, I could just volunteer at the South Florida SPCA, and have multiple horses! (the SPCA is a horse animal shelter) Pretty awesome article!
