In addition, the Chinese Calendar 2023 also contains ancient Chinese philosophers, inspiring words and wise sentences. “Another goal, and more important than the launch of the calendar that was circulated in Bali, is so that the Chinese people in Bali and the international community can know and understand the mindset and spirit of the Chinese and how the Chinese work,” he said.

This calendar was also used as a guide for religious, dynastic and social life. Every year, Chinese New Year is marked by the characteristics of one of the 12 zodiac signs (rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig).

Chinese New Year begins in the middle of the 12th month and ends the middle of the first month by following the full moon. The tradition was passed down from generation to generation.

Traditionally (for the Chinese), the new year is the most important festival or celebration. Everyone celebrated the new year, business activities were stopped so that business people could gather at home with their families.

Before the new year arrives, the Chinese will clean the house to get rid of the bad luck that has occurred during the year. Cleaning the house also means pacifying the gods who will come down from heaven to approach humans.
