Today, my teacher, Mrs Yeo, viewed my blog to the whole class. I realised that I did not write much about the Chinese New Year. Now, I would like to find out more with you about Chinese New Year:
It was recorded that Chinese started to celebrate Chinese New Year from about 2000 BC, though the celebrations were held on different times under different emperors. They started to celebrate Chinese New Year on the first day of the lunar calendar based on Emperor Wu Di's almanac of the Han Dynasty.
Legend says the celebrations of Chinese New Year may be related to a beast known as Nian. The beast Nian came out to eat people on new years until an old man found a way to conquer it. Then people started to observe and celebrate Chinese New Year. The word "Nian" now has the same meaning as Chinese New Year, which is used as commonly as Chinese New Year. And people often use the term "Guo Nian", which may originally mean "passed or survived the Nian". Now everyone loves Guo Nian.

End of Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year had already ended at 28 February, is it? I calculated and figure that I already collected about $600.
