Printable 2017 Rooster Calendar
2017 is the Year of the Fire Rooster in Chinese Horoscope and will start on 28 January 2017.
Chinese New Year, or the “Spring Festival” as it is known in China, is the longest (2 weeks) and most important holiday in China.
During the Chinese New Year’s celebrations, there are many traditional activities, e.g. they clean their houses, purchase new clothes, coat their home with new paint, pay off all of their debts, and even get new haircuts in order to have a fresh start for the new year.
The most welcoming and fun tradition of the Chinese New Year for all children is receiving small red envelopes filled with “lucky money”, also known as “Ang Bao” or “Hong Bao” (Red Packets). These envelopes are given to children by their family and friends.
China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and many other countries have the tradition of ignite small fireworks and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year! There are many beliefs about why fireworks are used. One belief is that the noise of the fireworks is supposed to scare away all evil spirits allowing the new year to begin without misfortunes.
Unfortunately, here in Singapore, firecrackers are banned when the Dangerous Fireworks Act came into operation on 1 August 1972.
