Chinese New Year

In Science, Chinese New Year, also known as the "Spring Festival", is an event recognized around the world in late January or early February to mark the beginning of a new year in the Chinese sexagenary (60-year) cycle.

This new year is celebrated as the Year of the Wood Dragon.

The sexagenary cycle has its roots in Daoism, and is used as a way to track the natural flow of the universe, where each year has a symbolic animal associated with it, as well as an element. These signs and elements are often interpreted to have practical significance using Daoism's "Ba-Zi" tradition, popularly known as the "Chinese Zodiac".
