Other Fun Facts and Traditions
-2013 is the year of the snake.
-On New Year’s day, you should not wash your hair. This is because washing your hair can symbolize washing your wealth away.
-Crying on New Year's day means crying for the entire year.
-You should not clean the house on New Year's day or you're sweeping your luck away.
-Chinese New Year’s started because of a monster called Nian; who would eat crops as well as humans. Wearing red would scare the monster away and thus many wear red on New Year. The tradition of firecrackers also came from this; firecrackers scared the Nian away.
We wish all those celebrating Chinese New Year happiness, luck, success, and prosperity!
