Lunar New Year rush starts after China lifts COVID travel rules. By Associated Press. Lion dancer makes impact on Chinese Lunar New Year tradition. By Mori Rothman, Michael D. Regan. Happy Lunar The seventh day of the Lunar New Year (February 4, 2025) is said to be when the Chinese mother goddess, Nuwa, created humanity. Thus, it’s called renri/jan jat (the people’s birthday). The Snake is the 6th animal in the order of the Chinese zodiac, and every 12th year is named for this intelligent animal. In 2025, the new year starts on January 29. Here is the order of the animals in the Chinese zodiac: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. What are the animals of the zodiac? Each year honors an animal based on the Chinese zodiac. The circle of 12 animals — the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig — measure the cycles of time. In 2025, Chinese New Year begins on January 29th and ends on February 12th with the Lantern Festival. Traditionally, the start of the Chinese New Year calendar is 'The Laba Festival' (腊八节 Làbājié), which occurs about three weeks before Chinese New Year's Day and is celebrated separately.
