Have a prosperous and good year. The Chinese add a year to their age on New Years Day no matter when they were born. Chinese New Year does not come at the same time every year. Each new Chinese year is given the name of an animal. If a person is born within an animal's year they will have the qualities of that animal.
Children stay awake as long as they can on New Years Eve.
They have a Golden Dragon Parade on New Years because the Chinese dragon is sacred in China. Los aborigenes de Australia lo usaban para cazar animales. There is a Kiwi bird and a Kiwi fruit. A Kiwi is a bird only found in New Zealand. A Kiwi can not fly.
