It’s the Year of the Wood Dragon: What to know about Lunar New Year celebrations

Lunar New Year, the beginning of the new year based on the lunisolar calendar, is almost here and the unique celebration has many festivities and traditions along with it.

When is the Lunar New Year?

Each year, the date on which the Lunar New Year occurs varies. In 2024, it falls on Saturday, Feb. 10. However, only the first seven days are considered a public holiday, from Feb. 10 to Feb. 16, according to Chinese New Year.

What is Lunar New Year all about?

According to the National Museum of Asian Art, the Lunar New Year, commonly known as the Spring Festival in China, celebrates the beginning of spring and the start of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. The most important holiday in China, other countries also widely celebrate such as South Korea and Vietnam.

What zodiac represents the 2024 Lunar New Year?

Each Lunar New Year marks a transition between zodiac signs, with 2024 considered the Year of the Wood Dragon. According to Chinese New Year, the dragon is the fifth animal in a 12-year cycle of the zodiac signs, following the Rabbit and before the Snake.

“Dragons are strong and independent figures, but they yearn for support and love,” said the website. “Dragon is powerful, endlessly energetic and full of vitality, goal-oriented yet idealistic and romantic, and a visionary leader. They know exactly who they are and possess the keenest sense of self among the 12 zodiacs of Chinese astrology.”

Prior years of the dragon include 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012. After 2024, this year, the next dragon year will occur in 2036.

In addition to the zodiacs, one of the five elements—metal, water, wood, fire, and earth—are assigned to each year.

2024 is considered a wood dragon year, with the last one occurring in 1964.

“Wood Dragons are intelligent, attractive, and usually well-loved. They’re blessed with the ability to make good use of their environment and have an intuitive sense of timing, so success will not be difficult to attain,” said the website. “They’re very popular and move in different social circles, but because of their fiery temper, Wood Dragons may not be as lucky or auspicious in their intimate relationships.”

First Lunar US Postal New Year Stamp 1992. Milestone Broadcast Corporation helped with the advertising and marketing efforts. Here is the First Mint Block of the stamp and marketing materials that helped to grow the sales. The stamp was a big hit and still is being created each year and sold worldwide.
