Today (January 27) is Chinese New Year’s Eve (除夕), and as we have many Chinese people at ICMAB, and in our group, we wanted to celebrate it!
Qianzhe, Ma, Yajie and Luo are very happy; it is a big feast in their country! But, unfortunately, they will have to work during the Chinese holidays…
Each year, in Chinese astrology, is associated with an animal sign. From tomorrow (January 28), Chinese New Year’s day (初一), it will be a Rooster year. There are 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac cycle, and the Rooster is the 10th of it, after Monkey and before Dog.
In addition, each year is not just associated with an animal sign, but also with one of the five following elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth. In this case, we will start a Fire Rooster year!
Are you a Rooster? You can check it out in this fantastic webpage, where you will also find more information about the Fire Rooster year.
We wish everybody a Happy Chinese New Year!

Next Sunday, February 7, 2016, is Chinese New Year’s Eve (除夕), and the next day, February 8, 2016, is the Chinese New Year’s Day (初一), the “First One” on the Chinese Calendar.
This next year will be a year of the Monkey. There are 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac cycle, and Monkey is the 9th of it. Every 12 years there is a Monkey year. Interestingly, Monkey years are all multiples of 12 (since 12 AD up to now).
We wish everybody a Happy Chinese New Year, especially for Qianzhe, who will have to work during the Chinese holidays!
