Happy New Year

[edit]

This year Chinese New Year will be widely celebrated on 12th February.

"The Chinese year will start on Feb 12 2021 and end on Feb 1 2022, when the Year of the Tiger begins."

In Vietnam and Mongolia the festival is celebrated on different days (the day before and the day after, respectively).

YEAR OF THE METAL OX

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox_in_Chinese_mythology

There are already pages on Wikipedia for the Five Phases and the Twelve Earthly Branches.

FIVE PHASES

Wood | Fire | Earth | Metal | Water

TWELVE EARTHLY BRANCHES

Rat | Ox | Tiger | Rabbit | Dragon | Snake | Horse | Goat | Monkey | Rooster | Dog | Pig

Bearing in mind the significance of the Chinese POV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users) would my fellow Wikipedians agree with me that there is good enough reason to have a separate page for each year in the sexagenary cycle?
