January 29 marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival. This significant celebration fosters family unity through shared meals and the tradition of giving red packets, or 'hong bao,' to children. Each lunar year corresponds to an animal in the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, dictated by the story of the Jade Emperor's 'great race.' The upcoming year, 2025, will represent the wood snake, a sign linked to wisdom and charm, with notable individuals born under this sign including Xi Jinping and Taylor Swift.
In the Chinese zodiac, the snake is associated with wisdom, charm, elegance and transformation, and those born under this sign are said to be highly wise, intuitive and charming.
The festival marking the advent of spring is widely celebrated in China and several East Asian countries, where families gather to share sumptuous meals.
