Xin Nian Kuai Le

Happy (Lunar) New Year! That was the Pinyin in Mandarin. Today marks the Year of the Water Dragon, according to ancient Chinese. There are five dragons (Water, Wood, Fire, and Metal [gold]). In 2024, it will be the Year of the Wood Dragon. Culturally, at this time of the Lunar New Year, Chinese greet others by saying, "Congratulations and Prosperity!" (Pinyin: Gong Xi Fa Cai)
