30+ Fashion and Beauty Finds for Lunar New Year 2020
Ringing in the Year of the Rat
by : ELLECanada.com- Jan 13th, 2020
The Year of the Rat officially begins on January 25, which means it’s time to get decked out in red and gold.
Lunar New Year, which celebrates the start of a new year across many countries in Asia including China, Taiwan, Vietnam and Korea, begins on the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends on the first full moon. During this time, various festivals and traditions like temple rituals, lion dances and exchanging red envelopes take place to usher in good luck and fortune.
Used to name the years, the twelve Chinese zodiac animals each have different characteristics that people born in these years are said to take on, similar to astrology signs. Those born in the year of the rat are said to be ambitious, inquisitive and charming.
