Year 2010 CHINESE NEW YEAR 4010

Year Black Water Dragon

********************************

2012 is Water Dragon Year. Dragon mainly contains Earth. Earth and Water are opposite elements. It seems that some bad news

will continue to arrive.  Dragon of 2012 also contains Water and Wood.  Dragons can hold Water and make it quiet.  If any

natural disaster happens in 2012, it might be related to water, flood, hurricane, rain, ocean, river or mud. Water is also

connected to Wisdom. We hope people will become wiser in 2012 and avoid fighting because of dispute, conflict, greed,

stubbornness or reputation.

Water calms the Dragon’s fire. Water Dragons are able to see things from other points of view. They don’t have the need to

always be right. Their decisions, if well-researched, are usually better since they allow other’s to become involved.

Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival- Mooncake Festival

The Moon Festival
The Chinese Moon Festival is on the 15th of the 8th lunar month. It's also known as the Mid-autumn Festival. Chinese culture is deeply imbedded in traditional festivals. The Moon Festival is one of the most important traditional events for the Chinese.

The Moon Festival is full of legendary stories. Legend says that Chang Er flew to the moon, where she has lived ever since. You might see her dancing on the moon during the Moon Festival. The Moon Festival is also an occasion for family reunions. When the full moon rises, families get together to watch the full moon, eat moon cakes, and sing moon poems.

The moon cake is the food for the Moon Festival. The Chinese eat the moon cake at night with the full moon in the sky.

Hope the Moon Festival brings you happiness.
