Greetings everyone, wherever you are listening.

This is Las La Montgomery, your friendly and humble creator and narrator of the China History Podcast. and finished off the Song Dynasty. I wasn't going to have time to present the Ming Dynasty overview this week.

Had a lot of samples and whatnot to Schlepp here to Frankfurt for this show, so packing all my Chinese history books was out of the question. But since

tomorrow is the New Year's Eve of the Chinese New Year's year I thought why not

pontificate about the origins and customs of this big holiday in the Chinese-speaking

world and in the worlds of the Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese, Japanese, as well as in Indonesia,

Thailand, and the Philippines.

And of course, anyone who lives near a Chinatown

knows this holiday is enthusiastically celebrated there as well.

February 3rd will be the first day of the new year. We're just finishing off the year of the

Tiger and on the 3rd begins the year of the rabbit or more specifically the metal rabbit.

Anyone born after the Chinese New Year in the years 1940, 1952, 64, 76, 1988, and 2000?

Well, this is your year.
