Wishing all my friends on WBF a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.
2014 is year 4711 on the Chinese calendar and the year of the Fire Horse in the traditional 60-year cycle. While China adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1929, we still use the Chinese or Lunar calendar for traditional and cultural events. The most important of these is the Chinese New Year - a period of rest, reunion and rejuvenation.
