Since Chinese New Year is near, I want to share a site that contains a lot of Chinese traditions and beliefs like Chinese zodiac, etc. (on side links). When did Chinese New Year started? There is a folklore about the monster Nian that was associated with the celebration of Chinese New Year.
The Western Zhou Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Song Dynasty had different forms of celebrating Chinese New Year.

Your main verb is "did" which is already in the past tense. The verb referred to by “did” (which is start) should be in its base form. This applies to all Do Verbs.

I believe the concept of Zodiac Signs from the Chinese, but I never based my life on it. I believe that we are the ones who predict what will happen to our lives. Nevertheless, Chinese traditions are very entertaining and interesting to discuss.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I hear Chinese New Year, the things that pops on my mind are zodiac signs and lucky charms. Our future does not depend on zodiac signs, it depends on how we live with it.

ReplyDeleteSince then,I have been wondering why there is no exact date for the Chinese New Year. Now I know that it is because of their belief about the changes in the track of the new moon. Your post answered my queries. Thank you.
