1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Karen Eng CHINESE NEW YEAR FESTIVAL AND PARADE YEAR OF THE OX LUNAR YEAR 4707 January 24 February 15, 2009 San Francisco: Gung Hay Fat Choy! 2009 is the Year of the Ox Lunar Year Chinese New Year begins on January 26th and is the most important holiday for Chinese families. It is a time of reunion and thanksgiving. Chinese New Year festivities start with the new moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15 th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival seems to have originated in ancient times as a ceremony to usher in the increasing light and warmth of the sun after the winter s cold. The Ox is the second animal among the twelve zodiac animals in the Chinese horoscope. The Jade Emperor called all the animals in the world to help him celebrate his departure from earth. When the animals arrived, the Jade Emperor had them all race and the first 12 to cross the finish line would be immortalized in the order they finished. On the day of the race, nearing the end of the course, the tiger, rat and ox led the pack. At a carefully chosen moment, the rat edged past the tiger, distracting him from the race and let the cat into a nearby river. The rat then stole a ride on the ox s back and won the race by jumping off the ox s back. The lunar sequence was forever sealed in this order: rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog, and boar. 1
2 In ancient China, it was believed that people would have the characteristics of the element and the animal that ruled the year of their birth just as modern astrologists believe that people born under a certain sign of the zodiac will have common characteristics. People born in the Year of the Ox (1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) are honest, placid and always considerate. The Ox never acts on a mere whim. He (she) refuses to be influenced by gossip or trivia, and ponders all angles of every situation. Once he has completed a thorough assessment of any situation, he caries his course of action through to the appropriate end. The Ox is a faithful and trustworthy friend and will always be helpful in times of need. Once he has found his partner, he is likely to be completely devoted and loving. Those compatible with the Ox in marriage are the Snake, Rooster and the Rat. The Roosters acts as a complement to the Ox s steady nature, and is equally reasonable and reliable. The Snake will make the Ox feel safe and secure and happily allows the Ox to arrange their home life. The Rat enjoys the Ox s earnestness and attracts the Ox with its intelligence and sincerity. The Ox also has a tendency to be outspoken and stubborn. If he is provoked, or if his patience is pushed to its limits, his temper is furious and unrelenting. Famous people born in the Year of the Ox: Whoopi Goldberg, Bruce Springsteen, Colin Powell, Monica Seles, Walt Disney, Hans Christian Anderson, former first lady, Barbara Bush and President Barack Obama!
