The Chinese zodiac calendar – known as Sheng Xiao – is divided into 12 cycles. Each cycle lasts 12 months and is represented by an animal. 2015 is the Year of the Goat. Those born in 1919, 1931, 1943, 1967, 1979, 1991 or 2003 are goats.
Millions of people across the globe celebrated the Chinese New Year on 19 February. Three ways to say ‘Happy Chinese New Year’ in Chinese.
1) 新年快乐 (Xīnnián kuàilè) ‘ New Year Happyness!’
2) 新年好 (Xīnnián hǎo) ‘New Year goodness!’
3)过年好 (Guònián hǎo) ‘Pass the New Year well!’
May the year of the goat bring luck, love and prosperity to all of our students and friends!
