Chinese Spring Festival Approaches

In honor of our Fulbright scholar, Tiantian, we share some news and information about the coming Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year.

The celebration begins January 22 (Chinese New Year's Eve) and runs through the Lantern Festival on February 6.

This will be the year of the dragon. It is well known that people born in the year of the dragon are wise, attractive, drawn toward service (such as posting blog entries), and exceed in humility.

The site linked below will, unlike some blogs, provide accurate information about the festival and the year of the dragon:
