Lunar New Year of the Tiger What Does it Hold For 2022
During this week’s celebration, the Ox Year came to an end and the Tiger Year was officially launched.
A Lunar New Year is more than just the beginning of a new calendar year. It marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
A monster was said to emerge from under the Earth every year at the start of the year and eat villagers. Because the monster, called Nian (Chinese for “year”), was afraid of bright lights, loud noises, and the colour red, these were used to exile it — and all of them have become associated with Chinese New Year.
What is the date for Lunar New Year 2022?
Since most Asian cultures follow a lunar calendar rather than a solar one, each Lunar New Year falls on a different day of the Gregorian calendar: In 2022, Lunar New Year’s Eve fell on Jan. 31, and the new year began on Feb. 1.
Despite the fact that celebrations often begin the weekend before and continue into the following weeks, only the first seven days of February are public holidays.
As part of the Chinese New Year season, the Lantern Festival is celebrated on the first full moon of the year. The Chinese New Year occurs on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese calendar – this year, it falls on Feb. 15.
What is this year’s Chinese Zodiac animal?
Each year of the Chinese calendar is associated with a different animal — the horse, the goat, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig.
Personality traits of people born in the Year of the Tiger?
The tiger is Asia’s king of the jungle, not the lion: People born during Tiger Years are naturally brave and thrill-seeking, often seeking attention.
According to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, they are courageous and energetic, love competition, and are prepared to take risks. Despite this, they can also be outspoken, rebellious, and short-tempered, preferring to give orders than take them.
Tiger years in the past century were 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010.
Among the notable people born during the Years of the Tiger are Queen Elizabeth II, Fidel Castro, Marilyn Monroe, Shawn Mendes, Lady Gaga, and Tom Cruise.
