Happy Lunar New Year!


Today is the New Year's Day in the Chinese calendar. It is also the New Year's Day for Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Vietnamese, and some other East Asian nations. Therefore, it is better to call "Lunar New Year" because it is based on the Lunar Calendar and it is a culture shared among East Asian peoples.
In the Chinese calendar, this is the Rabbit Year. Rabbit means peaceful, harmonic and energetic. Wish all of you a peaceful and harmonic year, and wish you be energetic and fruitful in the year to come.
The Chinese culture represents one of the world's longest civilizations. This is the 4,697 year in the Chinese "Xia Calendar." Please join us to celebrate the New Year as well as the 4,697 years of civilization.
