The Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, is a celebration of the new year that begins Sunday, Jan. 22, and ends on Sunday, Feb. 5.
It is celebrated around the globe, particularly in China, Vietnam, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Tibet.
In Vietnam, there are multiple explanations for why the Vietnamese Zodiac has a cat. Some say the word for rabbit in Chinese, which is pronounced “mao,” was misinterpreted as it sounds like “mèo” in Vietnamese. While others reference a myth of a feast held by either Buddha or the Jade Emperor in which a race among animals determined the zodiac order. Some legends say the cat finishes in fourth place, while in others, the cat is disqualified or was pushed into the river by the rat.
Similarly, Hóng bāo, or red envelopes, are given in Chinese culture during the Lunar New Year. Hóng bāo are called lai see in Cantonese and ang pow in Hokkien. The color red of the envelope is used to represent prosperity.
